Sec.  22.413   Developmental authorization of 72–76 MHz fixed transmitters.

   Because of the potential for interference with the reception by broadcast
   television sets and video recorders of full service TV stations transmitting
   on TV Channels 4 and 5, 72–76 MHz channels are assigned for use within 16
   kilometers (10 miles) of the antenna of any full service TV station
   transmitting on TV Channel 4 or 5 only under developmental authorizations
   subject to the requirements of this section, except as provided in paragraph
   (b) of this section.

   (a) Carrier responsibility. Carriers so authorized shall operate the 72–76
   MHz fixed station under developmental authority for a period of at least six
   months. During the developmental period, carriers must resolve any broadcast
   television receiver interference problems that may occur as a result of
   operation of the 72–76 MHz transmitter(s).

   (b) Exceptions. The FCC may grant a regular authorization in the Paging and
   Radiotelephone Service for a 72–76 MHz fixed station under the following
   circumstances:

   (1) After six months of operation under developmental authorization, and
   provided that broadcast TV interference complaints have been resolved by the
   carrier in a satisfactory manner. Licensees that hold a developmental
   authorization for a 72–76 MHz fixed station and wish to request a regular
   authorization must file an application using FCC Form 601 via the ULS prior
   to the expiration of the developmental authorization.

   (2) In the case of the assignment of or a transfer of control of a regular
   authorization of a 72–76 MHz fixed station in the Paging and Radiotelephone
   Service, the FCC may grant such assignment or consent to such transfer of
   control provided that the station has been in continuous operation providing
   service with no substantial interruptions.

   (3) If a proposed 72–76 MHz fixed transmitter antenna is to be located
   within 50 meters (164 feet) of the antenna of the full service TV station
   transmitting on TV Channel 4 or 5, the FCC may grant a regular authorization
   instead of a developmental authorization.
