Sec. 5.108  Wildlife tracking and ocean buoy tracking operations.

    Except as provided in Secs. 5.101, 5.102, 5.103 and 5.106, the use 
of frequencies in the bands 40.66-40.70 MHz and 216-220 MHz for the 
tracking of and telemetry of scientific data from ocean buoys and animal 
wildlife are subject to the following conditions:
    (a) All transmitters used at stations first licensed after February 
18, 1975, shall comply with the technical requirements in paragraph (b) 
of this section and shall be type accepted as provided in Sec. 5.109.
    (b) Technical requirements for transmitters used for these 
operations are as follows:
    (1) In the 40.66-40.70 MHz frequency band, the bandwidth required 
for frequency tolerance plus the occupied bandwidth of any emissions 
must be adjusted so as to be confined within this band, except as 
permitted by paragraph (b)(6) of this section.

[[Page 578]]

    (2) In the 216-220 MHz frequency band, the carrier frequency shall 
be maintained within 0.005 percent of the assigned frequency.
    (3) Classes of emission will be limited to A0, A1, A2, F1, F2 and/or 
F9.
    (4) Occupied bandwith shall not exceed 1 kHz.
    (5) The maximum carrier power shall not exceed 1 milliwatt for 
airborne wildlife applications, 10 milliwatts for terrestrial wildlife 
applications and 100 milliwatts for ocean buoys.
    (6) The mean power of emissions shall be attenuated below the mean 
output power of the transmitter in accordance with the schedule shown in 
Sec. 5.103(b) of this subpart.
