services shall not be constrained by HAPS. Systems using HAPS in the
frequency band 31-31.3 GHz shall not cause harmful interference to the
radio astronomy service having a primary allocation in the frequency
band 31.3-31.8 GHz, taking into account the protection criterion as
given in the most recent version of Recommendation ITU-R RA.769. In
order to ensure the protection of satellite passive services, the level
of unwanted power density into a HAPS ground station antenna in the
frequency band 31.3-31.8 GHz shall be limited to -106 dB(W/MHz) under
clear-sky conditions, and may be increased up to -100 dB(W/MHz) under
rainy conditions to mitigate fading due to rain, provided the effective
impact on the passive satellite does not exceed the impact under
clear-sky conditions. See Resolution 145 (Rev.WRC-12). (WRC-15)
5.544 In the band 31-31.3 GHz the power flux-density limits specified
in Article 21, Table 21-4 shall apply to the space research service.

Administrations should take this into account when considering
regulatory provisions in relation to these bands. Because of the
potential deployment of high-density applications in the
fixed-satellite service in the bands 39.5-40 GHz and 40.5-42 GHz (see
No. 5.516B), administrations should further take into account potential
constraints to high-density applications in the fixed service, as
appropriate. (FCC)
5.547A Administrations should take practical measures to minimize the
potential interference between stations in the fixed service and
airborne stations in the radionavigation service in the 31.8-33.4 GHz
band, taking into account the operational needs of the airborne radar
systems.

Note: The coordinates are specified in the conventional manner (North
latitude, West longitude), except that the Guam (GU) entries are
specified in terms of East longitude. Use at Cape Canaveral AFS is
restricted to launch support only. If required, successfully
coordinated with all affected AWS licensees, and authorized by NTIA,
reasonable modifications of these grandfathered Federal systems beyond
their current authorizations or the addition of new earth station
locations may be permitted. The details of the coordination must be
filed with NTIA and FCC.
(c) In the band 1755-1780 MHz, the military services may conduct
Electronic Warfare (EW) operations on Federal ranges and within
associated airspace on a non-interference basis with respect to
non-Federal AWS operations and shall not constrain implementation of
non-Federal AWS operations. This use is restricted to Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E), training, and Large Force
Exercise (LFE) operations.
US92 In the band 2025-2110 MHz, Federal use of the co-primary fixed
and mobile services is restricted to the military services and the
following provisions apply:
(a) Federal use shall not cause harmful interference to, nor constrain
the deployment and use of the band by, the Television Broadcast
Auxiliary Service, the Cable Television Relay Service, or the Local
Television Transmission Service. To facilitate compatible operations,
coordination is required in accordance with a Memorandum of
Understanding between Federal and non-Federal fixed and mobile
operations. Non-Federal licensees shall make all reasonable efforts to
accommodate military mobile and fixed operations; however, the use of
the band 2025-2110 MHz by the non-Federal fixed and mobile services has
priority over military fixed and mobile operations.
(b) Military stations should, to the extent practicable, employ
frequency agile technologies and techniques, including the capability
to tune to other frequencies and the use of a modular retrofit
capability, to facilitate sharing of this band with incumbent Federal
and non-Federal operations.
US93 In the conterminous United States, the frequency 108.0 MHz may
be authorized for use by VOR test facilities, the operation of which is
not essential for the safety of life or property, subject to the
condition that no interference is caused to the reception of FM
broadcasting stations operating in the band 88-108 MHz. In the event
that such interference does occur, the licensee or other agency
authorized to operate the facility shall discontinue operation on 108
MHz and shall not resume operation until the interference has been
eliminated or the complaint otherwise satisfied. VOR test facilities
operating on 108 MHz will not be protected against interference caused
by FM broadcasting stations operating in the band 88-108 MHz nor shall
the authorization of a VOR test facility on 108 MHz preclude the
Commission from authorizing additional FM broadcasting stations.
US97 The following provisions shall apply in the band 2305-2320 MHz:
(a) In the sub-band 2305-2310 MHz, space-to-Earth operations are
prohibited.
(b) Within 145 km of Goldstone, CA (35°25'33'' N, 116°53'23'' W),
Wireless Communications Service (WCS) licensees operating base stations
in the band 2305-2320 MHz shall, prior to operation of those base
stations, achieve a mutually satisfactory coordination agreement with
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Note: NASA operates a deep space facility in Goldstone in the band
2290-2300 MHz.

aeronautical telemetering and associated telecommand operations for
flight testing of manned or unmanned aircraft, missiles, or major
components thereof, on a secondary basis to the Wireless Communications
Service (WCS). The frequencies 2312.5 MHz and 2352.5 MHz are shared on
a co-equal basis by Federal stations for telemetering and associated
telecommand operations of expendable and reusable launch vehicles,
irrespective of whether such operations involve flight testing. Other
Federal mobile telemetering uses may be provided in the bands 2310-2320
and 2345-2360 MHz on a non-interference basis to all other uses
authorized pursuant to this footnote.
(b) The band 2345-2360 MHz is available for non-Federal aeronautical
telemetering and associated telecommand operations for flight testing
of manned or unmanned aircraft, missiles, or major components thereof,
on a secondary basis to the WCS until January 1, 2020. The use of this
allocation is restricted to non-Federal licensees in the Aeronautical
and Fixed Radio Service holding a valid authorization on April 23,
2015.
US101 The band 2360-2400 MHz is also allocated on a secondary basis to
the mobile, except aeronautical mobile, service. The use of this
allocation is limited to MedRadio operations. MedRadio stations are
authorized by rule and operate in accordance with 47 CFR part 95.
US102 In Alaska only, the frequency 122.1 MHz may also be used for
air carrier air traffic control purposes at locations where other
frequencies are not available to air carrier aircraft stations for air
traffic control.
US104 In the band 90-110 kHz, the LORAN radionavigation system has
priority in the United States and its insular areas. Radiolocation land
stations making use of LORAN type equipment may be authorized to both
Federal and non-Federal licensees on a secondary basis for offshore
radiolocation activities only at specific locations and subject to such
technical and operational conditions (e.g., power, emission, pulse rate
and phase code, hours of operation), including on-the-air testing, as
may be required on a case-by-case basis to ensure protection of the
LORAN radionavigation system from harmful interference and to ensure
mutual compatibility among radiolocation operators. Such authorizations
to stations in the radiolocation service are further subject to showing
of need for service which is not currently provided and which the
Federal Government is not yet prepared to render by way of the
radionavigation service.
US105 In the band 3550-3650 MHz, non-Federal stations in the
radiolocation service that were licensed or applied for prior to July
23, 2015 may continue to operate on a secondary basis until the end of
the equipment's useful lifetime.
US107 In the band 3600-3650 MHz, the following provisions shall apply
to earth stations in the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth):
(a) Earth stations authorized prior to, or granted as a result of an
application filed prior to July 23, 2015, and constructed within 12
months of initial authorization may continue to operate on a primary
basis. Applications for modifications to such earth station facilities
filed after July 23, 2015 shall not be accepted, except for repair or
replacement of equipment; changes in polarization, antenna orientation,
or ownership; and increases in antenna size for interference mitigation
purposes.
(b) The assignment of frequencies to new earth stations after July 23,
2015 shall be authorized on a secondary basis.
US108 In the bands 3300-3500 MHz and 10-10.5 GHz, survey operations,
using transmitters with a peak power not to exceed five watts into the
antenna, may be authorized for Federal and non-Federal use on a
secondary basis to other Federal radiolocation operations.
US109 The band 3650-3700 MHz is also allocated to the Federal
radiolocation service on a primary basis at the following sites: St.
Inigoes, MD (38°10' N, 76°23' W); Pascagoula, MS (30°22' N, 88 29' W);
and Pensacola, FL (30°21'28'' N, 87°16'26'' W). The FCC shall
coordinate all non-Federal operations authorized under 47 CFR part 90
within 80 km of these sites with NTIA on a case-by-case basis. For
stations in the Citizens Broadband Radio Service these sites shall be
protected consistent with the procedures set forth in 47 CFR 96.15(b)
and 96.67.
US110 In the band 9200-9300 MHz, the use of the radiolocation service
by non-Federal licensees may be authorized on the condition that
harmful interference is not caused to the maritime radionavigation
service or to the Federal radiolocation service.
