The holder of an EA authorization thus will be required to implement its facilities to protect incumbents from harmful interference. Specifically, an EA authorization holder will be required to coordinate with the incumbent licensees by using the interference protection criteria in Section 101.103 of the Commission's rules. However, operational agreements are encouraged between the parties. Should an incumbent lose its license, the incumbent's service area(s) will convey to the relevant EA authorization holder and it will be then entitled to operate within the forfeited rectangular service area(s) located within its EA, without being subject to further competitive bidding.

  • On February 29, 1996, the Commission released a Report and Order which consolidated the rules for the common carrier and private operational fixed microwave services contained in Parts 21 and 94 of the Commission's Rules, respectively, into a new Part 101. In the Part 101 Report and Order, the Commission rejected the request of some commenters seeking to delete Section 101.103(b)(1) of the Commission's Rules, which would allow POFS licensees to carry common carrier traffic on their excess capacity. The Commission concluded that it lacked a sufficient record to justify deleting the rule, but it stated that it would be receptive to a request to amend the Rules to permit POFS carriage of common carrier traffic if any party wished to

Subsequently, on May 2, 2000, the Branch returned SDGE's applications with a letter requesting a ``Supplemental Showing [p]art 101.103(d) per Rule Section 101.21.'' On May 23, 2000, SDGE amended its applications to include evidence of frequency coordination. However, on October 12, 2000, the Branch dismissed SDGE's applications, stating that they were defective because they were ``untimely filed with respect to the previously applied-for stations of California Water Service Company.''

  • FCC Form 601 were defective and were properly dismissed. 5. Preferred's argument that the Commission eliminated the frequency coordination requirement in the ULS Order is misplaced. In the ULS Order, the Commission did not amend rule section 90.175 to eliminate the coordination requirement for minor modifications filed by 800 MHz former General Category licensees. Rather, the Commission modified rule section 101.103 to eliminate coordination requirements for certain microwave license modifications. Finally, the Commission did not change the pre-existing coordination requirement set forth in section 90.175 or create a new collection requirement in the ULS Order. The Branch's actions do not violate the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 because frequency coordination for modification of former General Category licenses was required by the

TIA/NSMA and Alcatel note, however, that this requirement was not carried forward into the final rules. We hereby remedy that inadvertent oversight by amending Section 101.103(d) in the manner suggested by TIA/NSMA. M. Clarification of Grandfathering Provisions . In the Part 101 Order, the Commission stated that systems authorized and applications filed prior to the effective date of the Part 101 Order would be afforded co-primary status relative to all systems authorized subsequently pursuant to the provisions of the new Part 101, and that these previously

  • areas. We also note that the Commission has recently concluded two rulemaking proceedings concerning fixed services at 28 GHz and 39 GHz. In those two proceedings, the Commission relied principally upon the use of coordination procedures to avoid harmful interference between the operations of licensees in adjacent service areas. Specifically, licensees are required to follow the appropriate provisions of Section 101.103 of the Commission's Rules when they construct new facilities or modify existing facilities within a certain distance of the edge of their licensed service areas. In the case of 28 GHz LMDS licensees, this distance is 20 kilometers; for 39 GHz licensees the distance is 16 kilometers.

Accordingly, we will publish a list of existing public safety licensees that need to be protected. MVDDS licensees must coordinate with these incumbent POFS licensees to avoid harmful interference, in accordance with the procedures in Section 101.103 of our rules. MVDDS licensees may also protect these incumbents by not using the same channel(s), thus giving up a relatively small portion of the available 500 megahertz block of spectrum.

  • FCC Form 601 were defective and were properly dismissed. 5. Preferred's argument that the Commission eliminated the frequency coordination requirement in the ULS Order is misplaced. In the ULS Order, the Commission did not amend rule section 90.175 to eliminate the coordination requirement for minor modifications filed by 800 MHz former General Category licensees. Rather, the Commission modified rule section 101.103 to eliminate coordination requirements for certain microwave license modifications. Finally, the Commission did not change the pre-existing coordination requirement set forth in section 90.175 or create a new collection requirement in the ULS Order. The Branch's actions do not violate the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 because frequency coordination for modification of former General Category licenses was required by the

Thus, we propose to require that all prospective applicants in frequency bands above 1990 MHz for TV BAS and CARS coordinate their planned spectrum use prior to filing applications, using the procedures of Section 101.103(d). Further, in order that applicants and licensees can easily locate the coordination rules, we propose to amend Section 78.36 to mirror the Part 101coordination rules.

MVDDS licensees must coordinate with these incumbent POFS licensees to avoid harmful interference, in accordance with the procedures in Section 101.103 of our rules. MVDDS licensees may also protect these incumbents by not using the same channel(s), thus giving up a relatively small portion of the available 500 megahertz block of spectrum.
