Section 90.619(c) is modified to read as follows: � 90.619 Operations within the U.S./Mexico and U.S./Canada border areas. * * * * * (c) Use of 800 MHz Band in Canada Border Region. All operations in the 806-824/851-869 MHz band within 140 km (87 miles) of the U.S./Canada border (``U.S./Canada border area'') shall be in accordance with international agreements between the U.S.

  • to modify the existing process. We hereby clarify that the Bureau had no intention of modifying the TA's policy for submission and handling of RFPFs. Consequently, border area licensees who intend to seek planning funding should first submit RFPFs to the TA for approval before submitting them to Sprint in accordance with the TA policy. Clarifications and Corrections to Section 90.619(c) In the 800 MHz Second R&O, the Bureau updated Section 90.619(c) to reflect the reconfigured 800 MHz band plan for the U.S. - Canada border. On our own motion, we now make the following clarifications and corrections to this section. Section 90.619(c)(5). In Section 90.619(c)(5) and Table C5, the Bureau noted that stations authorized to operate within 30 kilometers of

  • is subject to the provisions of the bilateral annex (Arrangement F) with Canada, which specifies the conditions under which 800 MHz PLMR stations may operate along the border. Under Arrangement F, the ERP of stations in the border region is limited based on the height of the transmitting antenna. These power and antenna height limits are also reflected in Section 90.619(c)(3) of the Commission's rules. On May 21, 2010, the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, acting under delegated authority, issued King County an Order Proposing Modification (OPM), which proposed reducing the ERP of base station location 3 on one frequency licensed under call sign WPUY429. The reduction in ERP proposed in the OPM was intended to bring this base station

  • to the provisions of the bilateral annex (Arrangement F) with Canada, which specifies the conditions under which 800 MHz PLMR stations may operate along the border. Under Arrangement F, the ERP of stations in the border region is limited as a function of the height of their transmitting antennas above mean sea level. These ERP limits are codified in Section 90.619(c)(2) of the Commission's rules. On May 21, 2010, the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, acting under delegated authority, issued New York an Order Proposing Modification (OPM) which proposed reducing the ERP of certain base stations licensed under call signs WPLP920, WPWR391, WPJI660 and WQFG910.

In light of its proximity to Canada, Monroe also provided a study indicating that its proposed system's power flux density at the U.S./Canada border will not exceed the value set forth in Section 90.619(d)(6). Based on the record presented, we conclude that Monroe County has made a sufficient showing that the use of the subject frequency is technically feasible and would not interfere with existing licensees. The use of the unassigned frequency for the provision of public safety services is consistent with other allocations for the provision of such services in the geographic area

  • 2, 2006 Released: June 5, 2006 By the Chief, Public Safety and Critical Infrastructure Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau: Introduction. We have before us an application filed by the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Puget Sound) to operate on certain 800 MHz band frequencies in Seattle, Washington. In connection with this application, Puget Sound requests (1) a waiver of Section 90.619(b)(8) of the Commission's Rules in order to use Canada primary 800 MHz channels in the U.S.-Canada border zone and (2) a waiver of Section 90.621(b)(4) of the Commission's Rules in order to operate at a distance less than the required minimum separation to a co-channel station. For the reasons set forth below, we dismiss as moot the waiver to operate

  • Order for not ``having Nextel's operations moved higher in the band as required by [the Second Report and Order].'' Genesee denies seeking untimely reconsideration of the Second Report and Order and claims that requiring Sprint to maintain 1 MHz separation from Genesee's operations on channels 638 and 648 is consistent with the Second Report and Order. Genesee contends that Section 90.619(c)(10), Table C10, of the Commission's rules establishes that the ESMR line is at Channel 711 in CBR 2, and that Table 7 in that rule section allows high density cellular systems to operate on Channels 621-710. Accordingly, Genesee argues, its operations on Channels 638 and 648 would be ``entirely encompassed within the block where High Density Cellular operations (whether by

The Ad Hoc 800/900 MHz Licensee Committee (Ad Hoc Committee) suggests that the Commission should allow "incumbent" licensees of I/LT and Business channels to reclassify their channels as SMR or to assign them voluntarily to SMR operators for SMR usage. To achieve this result, Ad Hoc Committee states that the Commission should either amend Sections 90.617 and 90.619 or act expeditiously and favorably on a pending waiver request filed by Nextel, Inc. (Nextel Waiver Request). Ad Hoc Committee asserts that the result it seeks would advance the current communications needs of existing, incumbent I/LT and Business licensees. Ad Hoc Committee states that it participated by comments and reply comments in the Nextel Waiver request proceeding. Ad Hoc Committee

The Ad Hoc 800/900 MHz Licensee Committee (Ad Hoc Committee) suggests that the Commission should allow "incumbent" licensees of I/LT and Business channels to reclassify their channels as SMR or to assign them voluntarily to SMR operators for SMR usage. To achieve this result, Ad Hoc Committee states that the Commission should either amend Sections 90.617 and 90.619 or act expeditiously and favorably on a pending waiver request filed by Nextel, Inc. (Nextel Waiver Request). Ad Hoc Committee asserts that the result it seeks would advance the current communications needs of existing, incumbent I/LT and Business licensees.
