Specifically, we are moving the WARC-92 HFBC bands from the list of co-primary worldwide allocations to the list of exclusive worldwide allocations, i.e., from paragraph (g)(1)(i) to paragraph (f)(1). Because that action will result in only one paragraph under the heading ``Worldwide allocations,'' we are renumbering paragraph (g)(1)(ii) as paragraph (g)(1). Finally, we are removing an expired date from paragraph

See Appendix B for the text of US142. In addition, as a consequence of the conclusion of the 7 MHz Realignment, we update Section 73.702(f)-(h) to reflect the availability of spectrum for international broadcast stations. In a related matter, we simplify the display of 14 HFBC bands in the U.S. Table by merging adjacent bands, which differ only by footnote references, to form 6 larger bands as shown in Table A3 in Appendix A. In the FCC Rule Part Cross References column, we replace all

(ii) In footnote US389, replace ``Finegayan (Territory of Guam)'' with ``Finegayan (Guam).'' (c) Revise the note to paragraph (f)(2) in Section 73.702 to read as follows: Note to (f)(2): For the allocation of frequencies, the ITU has divided the world into three Regions, which are defined in 47 CFR 2.104(b).

Second, the staff recommends that the Commission modify section 73.702(f)(1) of the rules, to include additional bands approved for international broadcasting use by the World Radio Assembly Conference (WRAC) `92. Third, the staff recommends that the Commission replace the target zone map in section 73.703 of the rules with the current ITU target zone map.

They support our proposals to revise the HFBC definitions in Section 73.701, delete the broadcast band 25600-25670 kHz, and replace the map in Section 73.703 with the current ITU target zone map. They also support revising Section 73.702(f)(2) to remove the outdated cross-reference to the ITU Radio Regulations, but submit that use of the 7100-7300 kHz band by broadcasters and amateurs in different regions still needs to be resolved internationally. Also, they support our proposal to require that transmitters maintain a maximum modulating frequency of 4.5 kHz. In this regard, they state that there are sufficient audio shaping

At the conclusion of the WRC-03 transition period (March 29, 2009), this action replaces 100 kilohertz of exclusive Regional HFBC spectrum (7100-7200 kHz), which is being reallocated to the amateur service, with 50 kilohertz of exclusive global HFBC spectrum (7350-7400 kHz) and 50 kilohertz of exclusive Regional HFBC spectrum (7400-7450 kHz). We are reorganizing Section 73.702(f) of the Commission's Rules in order to clarify and correct existing rules and to add the band 7350-7450 kHz to these rules. First, we are subdividing Section 73.702(f) into three paragraphs by establishing new paragraph (g) for the rules that will apply to co-primary HFBC allocations and new paragraph (h) for requirements that will apply to Regional HFBC operation.

Further, there is no evidence that Congress knew about or considered any of these uses of the word "acceptable" when it drafted the Telecommuni- cations Act. 8
