§ 74.638 Frequency coordination.
(a) Coordination of all frequency assignments for fixed stations in all
bands above 2110 MHz, and for mobile (temporary fixed) stations in the
bands 6425-6525 MHz and 17.7-19.7 GHz, will be in accordance with the
procedure established in paragraph (b) of this section, except that the
prior coordination process for mobile (temporary fixed) assignments may
be completed orally and the period allowed for response to a
coordination notification may be less than 30 days if the parties
agree. Coordination of all frequency assignments for all mobile
(temporary fixed) stations in all bands above 2110 MHz, except the
bands 6425-6525 MHz and 17.7-19.7 GHz, will be conducted in accordance
with the procedure established in paragraph (b) of this section or with
the procedure in paragraph (d) of this section. Coordination of all
frequency assignments for all fixed stations in the band 1990-2110 MHz
will be in accordance with the procedure established in paragraph (c)
of this section. Coordination of all frequency assignments for all
mobile (temporary fixed) stations in the band 1990-2110 MHz will be
conducted in accordance with the procedure in paragraph (d) of this
section.
(b) For each frequency coordinated under this paragraph, the
interference protection criteria in 47 CFR 101.105(a), (b), and (c) and
the frequency usage coordination procedures in 47 CFR 101.103(d) will
apply.
(c) For each frequency coordinated under this paragraph, the following
frequency usage coordination procedures will apply:
(1) General requirements. Applicants are responsible for selecting the
frequency assignments that are least likely to result in mutual
interference with other licensees in the same area. Applicants may
consult local frequency coordination committees, where they exist, for
information on frequencies available in the area. Proposed frequency
usage must be coordinated with existing licensees and applicants in the
area whose facilities could affect or be affected by the new proposal
in terms of frequency interference on active channels, applied-for
channels, or channels coordinated for future growth. Coordination must
be completed prior to filing an application for regular authorization,
for major amendment to a pending application, or for major modification
to a license.
(2) To be acceptable for filing, all applications for regular
authorization, or major amendment to a pending application, or major
modification to a license, must include a certification attesting that
all co-channel and adjacent-channel licensees and applicants
potentially affected by the proposed fixed use of the frequency(ies)
have been notified and are in agreement that the proposed facilities
can be installed without causing harmful interference to those other
licensees and applicants.
(d) For each frequency coordinated under this paragraph, applicants are
responsible for selecting the frequency assignments that are least
likely to result in mutual interference with other licensees in the
same area. Applicants may consult local frequency coordination
committees, where they exist, for information on frequencies available
in the area. In selecting frequencies, consideration should be given to
the relative location of receive points, normal transmission paths, and
the nature of the contemplated operation.
