§ 73.202 Table of Allotments.
(a) General. The following Table of Allotments contains the channels
(other than noncommercial educational Channels 201-220) designated for
use in communities in the United States, its territories, and
possessions, and not currently assigned to a licensee or permittee or
subject to a pending application for construction permit or license.
All listed channels are for Class B stations in Zones I and I-A and for
Class C stations in Zone II unless otherwise specifically designated.
Channels to which licensed, permitted, and “reserved” facilities have
been assigned are reflected in the Media Bureau's publicly available
Consolidated Data Base System.
(1) Channels designated with an asterisk may be used only by
noncommercial educational broadcast stations. The rules governing the
use of those channels are contained in part 73, subpart C of this
chapter. An entity that would be eligible to operate a noncommercial
educational broadcast station can, in conjunction with an initial
petition for rulemaking filed pursuant to part 1, subpart C of this
chapter, request that a nonreserved FM channel (channels 221 through
300) be allotted as reserved only for noncommercial educational
broadcasting by demonstrating the following:
(i) No reserved channel can be used without causing prohibited
interference to TV channel 6 stations or foreign broadcast stations; or
(ii) The applicant is technically precluded from using the reserved
band by existing stations or previously filed applications and the
proposed station would provide a first or second noncommercial
educational radio service to 2,000 or more people who constitute 10% of
the population within the proposed allocation's 60 dBu (1 mV/m) service
contour.
(2) Each channel listed in the Table of Allotments reflects the class
of station that is authorized to use it based on the minimum and
maximum facility requirements for each class contained in § 73.211.
Note: The provisions of this paragraph [(a)(2) of this section] become
effective [3 years from the effective date of the Report and Order in
BC Docket 80-90].
