   (b) Establish a process for acquiring and storing in the database
   necessary and appropriate information from the Commission's databases
   and synchronizing the database with the current Commission databases at
   least once a week to include newly licensed facilities or any changes
   to licensed facilities.

   (c) Establish a process for registering fixed TVBDs and registering and
   including in the database facilities entitled to protection but not
   contained in a Commission database, including cable headends and TV
   translator receiver sites.

   power auxiliary devices are used on a regular basis.

   (e) Provide lists of available channels to fixed and personal/portable
   TVBDs that submit to it the information required under § 15.713(f) based
   on their geographic location.

   claim of inaccuracies in the database to its attention.

   (i) Transfer its database along with the IP addresses and URLs used to
   access the database and list of registered Fixed TVBDs, to another
   designated entity in the event it does not continue as the database
   administrator at the end of its term. It may charge a reasonable price
   for such conveyance.

   (j) The database must have functionality such that upon request from
   the Commission it can indicate that no channels are available when
   queried by a specific TVBD or model of TVBDs.

   (k) If more than one database is developed, the database administrators
   shall cooperate to develop a standardized process for providing on a
   daily basis or more often, as appropriate, the data collected for the
   facilities listed in § 15.713(b)(2) to all other TV bands databases to
   ensure consistency in the records of protected facilities.
