§ 90.675   Information exchange.

   (a) Prior coordination. Public safety/CII licensees may notify an ESMR or
   part 22 Cellular Radiotelephone licensee that they wish to receive prior
   notification of the activation or modification of ESMR or part 22 Cellular
   Radiotelephone cell sites in their area. Thereafter, the ESMR or part 22
   Cellular Radiotelephone licensee must provide the following information to
   the public safety/CII licensee at least 10 business days before a new cell
   site is activated or an existing cell site is modified:

   (1) Location;

   (2) Effective radiated power;

   (3) Antenna height;

   (4) Channels available for use.

   (b) Purpose of prior coordination. The coordination of cell sites is for
   informational purposes only: public safety/CII licensees are not afforded
   the  right to accept or reject the activation of a proposed cell or to
   unilaterally require changes in its operating parameters. The principal
   purposes of notification are to:

   (1)  Allow  a public safety/CII licensee to advise the ESMR or part 22
   Cellular Radiotelephone licensee whether it believes a proposed cell will
   generate unacceptable interference;

   (2)  Permit  ESMR or part 22 Cellular Radiotelephone licensees to make
   voluntary changes in cell parameters when a public safety licensee alerts
   them to possible interference; and

   (3) Rapidly identify the source if interference is encountered when the cell
   is activated.

   (c) Public safety information exchange. (1) Upon request by an ESMR or part
   22 Cellular Radiotelephone licensee, public safety/CII licensees who operate
   radio  systems  in the 806-824/851-869 MHz shall provide the operating
   parameters  of  their  radio  system  to  the ESMR or part 22 Cellular
   Radiotelephone licensee.

   (2)  Public  safety  licensees who perform the information exchange as
   described in this section must notify the appropriate ESMR and part 22
   Cellular Radiotelephone licensees prior to any technical changes to their
   radio system.

   Effective Date Note: At  69 FR 67849 , Nov. 22, 2004, § 90.675 was added. This
   section contains information collection and recordkeeping requirements and
   will not become effective until approval has been given by the Office of
   Management and Budget.
