  §  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.
