Sec. 90.273  Availability and use of frequencies in the 421-430 MHz 
          band.

    The frequency bands 422.1875-425.4875 MHz and 427.1875-429.9875 MHz 
are available for use in the Detroit, Michigan and Cleveland, Ohio 
areas. The bands 423.8125-425.4875 MHz and 428.8125-429.9875 MHz are 
available for use in the Buffalo, New York area. Sections 90.273 through 
90.281 address the specific rules applicable to these bands. Use of 
these bands is also subject to the general technical standards and 
application procedures contained in other subparts of part 90. The 
technical standards applicable in this band are the same as those 
contained in subpart I of part 90 for the 450-470 MHz band. Private land 
mobile use of these frequencies is subject to accepting any interference 
from Federal Government radiolocation operations.
    (a) The following tables list frequencies available for assignment 
in the Public Safety and Industrial/Business Pools as indicated. In the 
tables, the Public Safety Pool frequencies are denoted as ``PS'' and the 
Industrial/Business Pool frequencies are denoted as ``IB.'' The 
frequencies 422.19375 MHz through 424.99375 MHz are paired with 
frequencies 427.19375 MHz through 429.99375 MHz, respectively. Only the 
lower half of each frequency pair, available for base station operation, 
is listed in the tables. Corresponding mobile and control station 
frequencies are 5 MHz higher than the base station frequency. The 
frequencies 425.000 through 425.48125 are unpaired and are available for 
either single frequency dispatch or paging operations.
