Sec.  74.604   Interference avoidance.

   (a) [Reserved]

   (b) Where two or more licensees are assigned a common channel for TV pickup,
   TV STL, or TV relay purposes in the same area and simultaneous operation is
   contemplated, they shall take such steps as may be necessary to avoid mutual
   interference, including consultation with the local coordination committee,
   if one exists. If a mutual agreement to this effect cannot be reached, the
   Commission must be notified and it will take such action as may be
   necessary, including time sharing arrangements, to assure an equitable
   distribution of available frequencies.

   (c) For those interference disputes brought to the Commission for
   resolution, TV broadcast auxiliary channels will have the following priority
   for purposes of interference protection:

   (1) All fixed links for full service broadcast stations and cable systems.

   (2) TV and CARS pickup stations.

   (3) Fixed or mobile stations serving translator or low power TV stations.

   (4) Backup facilities; TV pickup stations used outside a licensee's local
   service area.

   (5) Any transmission, pursuant to  Sec. 74.631(f), that does not involve the
   delivery of program material to a licensee's associated TV broadcast
   station.

   (d) Interference between two stations having the same priority shall be
   resolved in favor of the station licensed first on a particular path.
