§ 27.70   Information exchange.

   (a) Prior notification. Public safety licensees authorized to operate
   in the 758-775 MHz and 788-805 MHz bands may notify any licensee
   authorized to operate in the 746-757 or 776-787 MHz bands that they
   wish to receive prior notification of the activation or modification of
   the licensee's base or fixed stations in their area. Thereafter, the
   746-757 or 776-787 MHz band licensee must provide the following
   information to the public safety licensee at least 10 business days
   before a new base or fixed station is activated or an existing base or
   fixed station is modified:

   (1) Location;

   (2) Effective radiated power;

   (3) Antenna height; and

   (4) Channels available for use.

   (b) Purpose of prior notification. The prior coordination of base or
   fixed stations is for informational purposes only. Public safety
   licensees are not afforded the right to accept or reject the activation
   of a proposed base or fixed station or to unilaterally require changes
   in its operating parameters. The principal purposes of notification are
   to:

   (1) Allow a public safety licensee to advise the 746-757 or 776-787 MHz
   band licensee whether it believes a proposed base or fixed station will
   generate unacceptable interference;

   (2) Permit 746-757 and 776-787 MHz band licensees to make voluntary
   changes in base or fixed station parameters when a public safety
   licensee alerts them to possible interference; and,

   (3) Rapidly identify the source if interference is encountered when the
   base or fixed station is activated.
