§ 15.715 TV bands database administrator.
The Commission will designate one or more entities to administer the TV
bands database(s). The Commission may, at its discretion, permit the
functions of a TV bands database, such as a data repository,
registration, and query services, to be divided among multiple
entities; however, it will designate specific entities to be a database
administrator responsible for coordination of the overall functioning
of a database and providing services to TVBDs. Each database
administrator designated by the Commission shall:
(a) Maintain a database that contains the information described in
§ 15.713.
(b) Establish a process for acquiring and storing in the database
necessary and appropriate information from the Commission's databases
and synchronizing the database with the current Commission databases at
least once a week to include newly licensed facilities or any changes
to licensed facilities.
(c) Establish a process for registering fixed TVBDs and registering and
including in the database facilities entitled to protection but not
contained in a Commission database, including MVPD and TV translator
receive sites.
(d) Establish a process for registering facilities where part 74 low
power auxiliary stations are used on a regular basis.
(e) Provide accurate lists of available channels to fixed and
personal/portable TVBDs that submit to it the information required
under § § 15.713(e), (f), and (g) based on their geographic location
and provide accurate lists of available channels to fixed and Mode II
devices requesting lists of available channels for Mode I devices.
Database administrators may allow prospective operators of TV bands
devices to query the database and determine whether there are vacant
channels at a particular location.
(f) Establish protocols and procedures to ensure that all
communications and interactions between the TV bands database and TVBDs
are accurate and secure and that unauthorized parties cannot access or
alter the database or the list of available channels sent to a TVBD
consistent with the provisions of § 15.713(i).
(g) Make its services available to all unlicensed TV band device users
on a non-discriminatory basis.
(h) Provide service for a five-year term. This term can be renewed at
the Commission's discretion.
(i) Respond in a timely manner to verify, correct and/or remove, as
appropriate, data in the event that the Commission or a party brings
claim of inaccuracies in the database to its attention. This
requirement applies only to information that the Commission requires to
be stored in the database.
(j) Transfer its database along with the IP addresses and URLs used to
access the database and list of registered Fixed TVBDs, to another
designated entity in the event it does not continue as the database
administrator at the end of its term. It may charge a reasonable price
for such conveyance.
(k) The database must have functionality such that upon request from
the Commission it can indicate that no channels are available when
queried by a specific TVBD or model of TVBDs.
(l) If more than one database is developed, the database administrators
shall cooperate to develop a standardized process for providing on a
daily basis or more often, as appropriate, the data collected for the
facilities listed in § 15.713(b)(2) to all other TV bands databases to
ensure consistency in the records of protected facilities.
