Sec. 22.871  Control channel transition period.

    The rules in this section provide for a period of transition during 
which the experimental air-ground system operating on the channels 
listed in Sec. 22.857 will be discontinued and replaced by a system 
operating in full compliance with the rules in this subpart. The 
experimental system may continue to exclusively use a 3.2 kHz control 
channel contained within the bandwidth of communications channel C-2 of 
each channel block until September 9, 1996. After that date 
communications channel C-2 will be available for use by all carriers 
authorized to operate an air-ground system on the channels listed in 
Sec. 22.857.
