non-high-density cellular portion of the 800 MHz band (as defined in
§ 90.614). These licensees may continue to operate non-high-density
cellular systems and will be grandfathered indefinitely. The channels
listed in Table 4B will be available for site-based licensing after
January 21, 2005, in any Economic Area where no EA-based licensee is
authorized for these channels.

completion of band reconfiguration in that region;
(2) Only to eligible applicants in the Public Safety or Critical
Infrastructure Industry Categories from three to five years after the
release of a public notice announcing the completion of band
reconfiguration in that region;
(3) Five years after the release of a public notice announcing the
completion of band reconfiguration in that region, these channels
revert back to their original pool categories.
(h) In a given 800 MHz NPSPAC region—except for the counties listed in
§ 90.614(c)—channels below 471 listed in Tables 2 and 4B which are
vacated by a licensee relocating to channels 511-550 and remain vacant

Infrastructure Industry Categories from three to five years after the
release of a public notice announcing the completion of band
reconfiguration in that region;

revert back to their original pool categories.
(i) Special Mobilized Radio Systems licensees who operate systems,
other than 800 MHz high density cellular systems, on any of the public
safety channels listed in Table 1 prior to January 21, 2005, are
grandfathered and may continue to operate on these channels
indefinitely. These grandfathered licensees will be prohibited from
operating 800 MHz high density cellular systems as defined in § 90.7.
Site-based licensees who are grandfathered on any of the public safety
channels listed in Table 1 may modify their license only if they obtain
concurrence from a certified public safety coordinator in accordance
with § 90.175(c). Grandfathered EA-based licensees, however, are exempt
from any of the frequency coordination requirements of § 90.175 as long
as their operations remain within the Economic Area defined by their
license in accordance with the requirements of § 90.683(a).
(j) Licensees operating 800 MHz high density cellular systems on the
channels listed in § 90.614(a), prior to January 21, 2005, may elect to
continue operating on these channels and will be permitted to continue
operating 800 MHz high density cellular systems (as defined in § 90.7)
in this portion of the band. These licensees will be grandfathered
indefinitely subject to the provisions of § § 90.673, 90.674 and 90.675.
(k) Licensees may operate systems other than 800 MHz high density
cellular systems (as defined in § 90.7) on Channels 511-550 at any
location vacated by an EA-based SMR licensee. For operations on these
channels, unacceptable interference (as defined in § 22.970 of this
chapter and § 90.672) will be deemed to occur only at sites where the
following median desired signals are received (rather than those
specified in § 22.970(a)(1)(i) of this chapter and § 90.672(a)(1(i). The
minimum required median desired signal, as measured at the R.F. input
of the receiver, will be as follows:
(1) Mobile units (except in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands):
(i) For channels 511 to 524—the minimum median desired signal levels
specified in § 22.970(a)(1)(i) of this chapter and § 90.672(a)(1)(i)
shall apply;
(ii) For channels 524 to 534—the minimum median desired signal level
shall increase linearly from the values specified in § 22.970(a)(1)(i)
of this chapter and § 90.672(a)(1)(i) to −70 dBm;
(iii) For channels 534 to 550—the minimum median desired signal level
shall increase linearly from −70 dBm to −65 dBm.
(2) Portable units (except in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands):
(i) For channels 511 to 524—the minimum median desired signal levels
specified in § 22.970(a)(1)(i) of this chapter and § 90.672(a)(1)(i)
shall apply;
(ii) For channels 524 to 530—the minimum median desired signal level
shall increase linearly from the values specified in § 22.970(a)(1)(i)
of this chapter and § 90.672(a)(1)(i) to −80 dBm;
(iii) For channels 530 to 534—the minimum median desired signal level
shall increase linearly from −80 dBm to −70 dBm;
(iv) For channels 534 to 550—the minimum median desired signal level
shall increase linearly from −70 dBm to −65 dBm.
(3) Mobile units operating in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands:
(i) For channels 511 to 530—the minimum median desired signal levels
specified in § 22.970(a)(1)(i) of this chapter and § 90.672(a)(1)(i)
shall apply;
(ii) For channels 531 to 534—the minimum median desired signal level
shall increase linearly from −80.2 dBm to −70 dBm;
(iii) For channels 534 to 550—the minimum median desired signal level
shall increase linearly from −70 dBm to −65 dBm.
(4) Portable units operating in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin
Islands:
(i) For channels 511 to 530—the minimum median desired signal levels
specified in § 22.970(a)(1)(i) of this chapter and § 90.672(a)(1)(i)
shall apply;
(ii) For channels 531 to 534—the minimum median desired signal level
shall increase linearly from −80 dBm to −70 dBm;
(iii) For channels 534 to 550—the minimum median desired signal level
shall increase linearly from −70 dBm to −65 dBm.
(l) Applicants may begin to license interstitial pool channels (denoted
with an “a” after the channel number) listed in paragraphs (a) through
(d) of this section only after the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau
and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau jointly release a
public notice announcing the availability of those channels for
licensing in a National Public Safety Planning Advisory Committee
region.
(m) Incumbent licensees in the 470-512 MHz band in the urban areas
specified in § 90.303 of the Commission's rules are given priority
access over mutually exclusive applicants for a three-year period to
all interstitial channel pairs in the public safety pool or the
business/industrial/land transportation pool listed above for which
they are eligible, provided that any relocating T-Band incumbent must
commit to surrendering an equal amount of 470-512 MHz spectrum on a
channel-for-channel basis. The three-year period begins on the date
these channel pairs become available for licensing in a National Public
Safety Planning Advisory Committee region. Priority access applies to
any applicant seeking to license a base station within 80 kilometers
(50 miles) or mobile units or control stations within 128 kilometers
(80 miles) of the geographic center of the urbanized areas listed in
§ 90.303 of the Commission's rules.
