Sec.  74.103   Frequency assignment.

   (a) Frequencies allocated to broadcasting and the various categories of
   auxiliary stations, in the FCC's Table of Frequency Allocations (Part 2 of
   this chapter), may be assigned respectively to experimental broadcast and
   experimental auxiliary stations.

   (b) More than one frequency may be assigned upon a satisfactory showing of
   the need therefor.

   (c) Frequencies best suited to the purpose of the experimentation and on
   which  there  appears  to  be  the least likelihood of interference to
   established stations shall be selected.

   (d)  In  a  case of important experimentation which cannot be feasibly
   conducted on frequencies allocated to broadcasting or the various categories
   of auxiliary stations, the FCC may authorize an experimental station of any
   class to operate on other frequencies upon a satisfactory showing of the
   need therefore and a showing that the proposed operation can be conducted
   without causing harmful interference to established services. However,
   experimental  operation  which  looks  toward the development of radio
   transmitting apparatus or the rendition of any type of regular service using
   such frequencies will not be authorized prior to a determination by the FCC
   that the development of such apparatus or the rendition of such service
   would serve the public interest.
