In conclusion, while no OOBE limits can guarantee non-interference to public safety operations, we believe that the OOBE limits we adopt herein will limit such occurrences, and that in adopting these limits we have satisfied the Congressional concern to ensure that public safety licensees are protected from interference.

However, as with the 30 megahertz spectrum, we will permit users in adjoining areas to agree to alternate field strengths at their common border to provide users increased flexibility in implementing their systems without increasing the risk of harmful interference. RF Safety/Power Limits. Section 27.52 of the Commission's Rules subjects licensees and manufacturers to the RF radiation exposure requirements specified in Sections 1.1307(b), 2.1091, and 2.1093 of the Commission's Rules. In the 700 MHz First Report and Order, we adopted a threshold of 1000 w ERP for categorical exclusion from routine evaluation for RF exposure for base and fixed stations. We adopt this threshold for
