Part 25 also provides clear and predictable procedures for amendments, modifications, assignments and transfers. In addition, section 25.120 provides effective procedures for handling applications for special temporary authorization when delay would seriously prejudice the public interest. This allows for a more efficient use of resources. Earth Stations: Sections 25.130 through 25.137 include procedures that allow for a frequency coordination analysis to reduce interference and the verification of earth station antenna performance standards.
