Accordingly, we are replacing the adjectives ``Federal Government'' and ``Government'' with ``Federal'' and the adjectives ``non-Federal Government'' and ``non-Government'' with ``non-Federal'' in Section 2.102 (Assignment and use of frequencies), Section 2.103 (Government use of non-Government Frequencies), Section 2.105 (United States Table of Frequency Allocations), Section 2.106 (Table of Frequency Allocations), and Section 97.303 (Frequency sharing requirement for amateur stations). In particular, we note that because of this action, 68 United States footnotes, three non-Federal Government footnotes, and 14 Federal Government footnotes are amended in Section 2.106 of our Rules. The amendments to the United States footnotes and Federal Government footnotes are made with the concurrence of NTIA. See Appendix A for the text

Fourth, we are revising Section 97.303(f)(4) by deleting duplicative information (space telecommand is a subset of the space operation service), by revising the 449.75-450.25 MHz segment in order to recognize that amateur stations are not authorized to transmit in the 450.00-450.25 MHz segment, and by correcting the spelling of the word ``interference.''

Accordingly, we are amending sections 2.106, and 97.303 of our rules to provide a secondary allocation to the amateur service on the channels 5332 kHz, 5348 kHz, 5368 kHz, 5373 kHz and 5405 kHz as specified by NTIA, and to require that amateur operations be limited to an effective radiated power (e.r.p.) of 50 W, and emission type 2K8J3E, upper sideband voice transmissions only centered on each frequency.

We propose to amend Section 97.303 of our amateur Rules to reflect this spectrum sharing proposal. We solicit comment on whether limits should be imposed on the amateur and/or mobile services in order to enhance spectrum sharing; if limits are necessary, we seek comment on what limits we should adopt.
