Sec. 74.103  Frequency assignment.

    (a) Frequencies allocated to broadcasting and the various categories 
of auxiliary stations, in the FCC's Table of Frequency Allocations (Part 
2 of this chapter), may be assigned respectively to experimental 
broadcast and experimental auxiliary stations.
    (b) More than one frequency may be assigned upon a satisfactory 
showing of the need therefor.
    (c) Frequencies best suited to the purpose of the experimentation 
and on which there appears to be the least likelihood of interference to 
established stations shall be selected.
    (d) In a case of important experimentation which cannot be feasibly 
conducted on frequencies allocated to broadcasting or the various 
categories of auxiliary stations, the FCC may authorize an experimental 
station of any class to operate on other frequencies upon a satisfactory 
showing of the need therefore and a showing that the proposed operation 
can be conducted without causing harmful interference to established 
services. However, experimental operation which looks toward the 
development of radio transmitting apparatus or the rendition of any type 
of regular service using such frequencies will not be authorized prior 
to a determination by the FCC that the development of such apparatus or 
the rendition of such service would serve the public interest.
