                                  Notes

    (1) This frequency band is shared with fixed and mobile stations 
licensed under this and other parts of the Commission's Rules.
    (2) This frequency band is shared with Government stations.
    (3) This frequency band is shared, on a secondary basis, with 
stations in the broadcasting-satellite and fixed-satellite services.
    (4) This frequency band is shared with stations in the earth-
exploration satellite service.
    (5) Assignments to common carriers in this band are normally made in 
the segments 21,200-21,800 MHz and 22,400-23,800 MHz and to operational 
fixed users in the segments 21,800-22,400 MHz and 23,000-23,600 MHz. 
Assignments may be made otherwise only upon a showing that interference 
free frequencies are not available in the normally assigned band 
segments. The maximum power for the local television transmission 
service in the 14.2-14.4 GHz band is +45 dBW except that operations are 
not permitted within 1.5 degrees of the geostationary orbit.
    (6) This band is co-equally shared with mobile stations licensed 
pursuant to parts 74 and 78 of this chapter, and subpart H of this part.
    (7) As of June 30, 1997, frequencies in these band only are 
available for assignment to LMDS radio stations. Stations authorized 
prior to that date may continue to operate within the existing terms of 
the outstanding licenses, subject to renewal.

    (b) Communications common carriers in the Local Television 
Transmission Service may be assigned frequencies listed in

service to television broadcast stations, television broadcast network-
entities, cable system operators and cable network-entities. Frequency 
availability is subject to the provisions of Sec. 74.604 of this chapter 
and the use of the facility is limited to the permissible uses described 
in Secs. 74.631 and 78.11 of this chapter. Operations on these 
frequencies are subject to the technical provisions of part 74, subpart 
F, and part 78, subpart D of this chapter.

Point Microwave Radio Service and, in United States Possessions in the 
Caribbean area, with stations in the International Fixed 
Radiocommunications Services.
    (2) This frequency band is shared with fixed and mobile stations 
licensed under this and other parts of the Commission's rules.
    (3) This frequency band is shared with space stations (space to 
earth) in the fixed-satellite service.
    (4) This frequency band is shared with Government stations.

    (5) This frequency band is shared with earth stations (earth to 
space) in the fixed-satellite services.
    (6) The band segments 10.95-11.2 and 11.45-11.7 GHz are shared with 
space stations (space to earth) in the fixed-satellite service.
    (7) This frequency band is shared with space stations (space to 
earth) in the earth exploration satellite service.
    (8) Assignments to common carriers in this band are normally made in 
the segments 21,200-21,800 MHz and 22,400-23,000 MHz and to operational 
fixed users in the segments 21,800-22,400 MHz and 23,000-23,600 MHz. 
Assignments may be made otherwise only upon a showing that interference 
free frequencies are not available in the appropriate band segments.
    (9) As of June 30, 1997, frequencies in these band only are 
available for assignment to LMDS radio stations. Stations authorized 
prior to that date may continue to operate within the existing terms of 
the outstanding licenses, subject to renewal.

    (e) On the condition that harmful interference will not be caused to 
services operating in accordance with the Table of Frequency 
Allocations, persons holding valid station authorizations on July 15, 
1963, to provide television nonbroadcast pickup service in the 6525-6575 
MHz band may be authorized to continue use of the frequencies specified 
in their authorization for such operations until July 15, 1968.
    (f) 6425 to 6525 MHz--Mobile Only. Paired and un-paired operations 
permitted. Use of this spectrum for direct delivery of video programs to 
the general public or for multi-channel cable distribution is not 
permitted. This band is co-equally shared with mobile stations licensed 
pursuant to parts 74 and 78 of this chapter. The following channel plans 
apply.

    (g) The frequency 27.255 MHz in the 27.23-27.28 MHz band is 
allocated for assignment to microwave auxiliary stations in this service 
on a shared basis with other radio services. Assignments to stations on 
this frequency will not be protected from such interference as may be 
experienced from the emissions of industrial, scientific and medical 
equipment operating on 27.12 MHz in accordance with Sec. 2.106 of this 
chapter.
