Non-Substantive Revisions to the Table of Frequency Allocations
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document makes non-substantive, editorial revisions to
the Commission's Table of Frequency Allocations (Allocation Table) and
to various other Commission Rules. The purpose of this action is to
update and clarify the Allocation Table, to remove obsolete and
outdated provisions from the Commission's Rules, and to ensure that the
Allocation Table and related rules are consistent with the Commission's
decisions in recent rulemaking proceedings.
DATES: Effective May 6, 2008.

Summary of the Report and Order
1. By this action, the Commission amends its rules to make non-
substantive, editorial revisions to the Allocation Table and related
rule sections in part 2, and to the part 1 quiet zone rules, and to the
service rules for satellite communications, international broadcast
stations, aural broadcast auxiliary stations, the radiolocation
service, and the Amateur Radio Service. These amendments to the
Allocation Table are being implemented with the concurrence of the
National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The
purpose of this action is to update and clarify the Allocation Table,
as well as to remove obsolete and outdated provisions from the
Commission's rules. In doing so, we can also ensure that the Allocation
Table and related rules are consistent with the Commission's decisions
in recent rulemaking proceedings. This action is not intended to modify
or otherwise change any licensee's underlying legal rights and/or
responsibilities.
2. This action follows the model used in past Table Clean-up
Orders, and is important because it helps ensure consistency between
the allocation tables maintained by the Commission and NTIA. Among the
revisions, the document:
Updates the Allocation Table and associated service rules
to no longer show now-concluded transition periods for the secondary
amateur service allocation in the band 75.5-76 GHz and for
international broadcast stations.
Revises the part 25 rules to reflect a prior Commission
decision that allocated feeder link spectrum for Non-Geostationary
Satellite Orbit Mobile-Satellite Service systems.
Makes conforming edits to the Allocation Table to
accurately portray a variety of Commission decisions that were
successfully updated within the Commission's service rules but that
were left out of the Allocation Table.
Updates numerous footnotes to the Allocation Table for
consistency and to reflect corrected coordinates for Federal Government
facilities, such as radio astronomy sites.
Corrects typographical errors, updates the FCC rule part
cross references, and clarifies the introductory language that
describes the United States allocations.
Administrative Procedures Act and Ordering Clause
3. Parts 1, 2, 25, 73, 74, 90, and 97 of the Commission's rules are
amended herein by incorporating non-substantive, editorial revisions
only. Therefore, there is good cause for not using notice and comment
procedure in this case, and for shortening the effective date of the
amendments from a date not less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register to the date of publication in the Federal Register. We
find that the normal procedures for notice and comment and for
publication as required under section 553 of the Administrative
Procedures Act would be impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), (d)(3); Kessler v. FCC, 326
F.2d 673 (DC Cir. 1963). Furthermore, the International Table, the
Federal Table, and the FCC Rule Part(s) column within 47 CFR 2.106 are
included in the Commission's rules for informational purposes only and
are therefore exempt from the notice provisions of the Administrative
Procedures Act.
4. Accordingly, it is ordered that 47 CFR parts 1, 2, 25, 73, 74,
90, and 97 of the Commission's rules, are amended and are effective
upon date of publication in the Federal Register. This action is taken
pursuant to authority found in sections 4(i) and 303 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 303, and
in Sec. Sec. 0.31, 0.231(b) and 0.241 of the Commission's rules, 47
CFR 0.31, 0.231(b) and 0.241.
5. The Commission will not send a copy of this Memorandum Opinion
and Order (MO&O), pursuant to the Congressional Review Act. The MO&O
does not change any rules; it makes non-substantive, editorial
revisions to the Table of Frequency Allocation and to various other
Commission rules.

of paragraph (d) to read as follows:
Sec. 2.105 United States Table of Frequency Allocations.
(a) The United States Table of Frequency Allocations (United States
Table) is subdivided into the Federal Table of Frequency Allocations
(Federal Table, column 4 of Sec. 2.106) and the non-Federal Table of
Frequency Allocations (non-Federal Table, column 5 of Sec. 2.106). The
United States Table is based on the Region 2 Table because the relevant
area of jurisdiction is located primarily in Region 2 \1\ (i.e., the 50
States, the District of Columbia, the Caribbean insular areas,\2\ and
some of the Pacific insular areas).\3\ The Federal Table is
administered by NTIA \4\ and the non-Federal Table is administered by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See 2.104(b) for definitions of the ITU Regions.
\2\ The operation of stations in the U.S. insular areas located
in Region 2 is generally governed by the United States Table. The
U.S. insular areas located in Region 2 are comprised of the
Caribbean insular areas and two of the eleven Pacific insular areas.
The Caribbean insular areas are Puerto Rico, the United States
Virgin Islands, and Navassa Island. The Pacific insular areas
located in Region 2 are Johnston Atoll and Midway Atoll.
\3\ The operation of stations in the Pacific insular areas
located in Region 3 is generally governed by the Region 3 Table
(i.e., column 3 of Sec. 2.106). The Pacific insular areas located
in Region 3 are American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands,
Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Kingman Reef, Palmyra
Island, and Wake Island.
\4\ Section 305(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended. See Public Law 102-538, 106 Stat. 3533 (1992).
\5\ The Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) In the United States, radio spectrum may be allocated to either
Federal or non-Federal use exclusively, or for shared use. In the case
of shared use, the type of service(s) permitted need not be the same
[e.g., Federal FIXED, non-Federal MOBILE]. The terms used to designate
categories of services and allocations \6\ in columns 4 and 5 of Sec.
2.106 correspond to the terms in the ITU Radio Regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ The radio services are defined in 47 CFR 2.1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
* * * * *
(d) Format of the United States Table. * * *
(5) * * *
(iv) Any footnote consisting of the letter ``G'' followed by one or
more digits, e.g., G2, denotes a stipulation applicable only to Federal
operations. Federal footnotes appear solely in the Federal Table
(column 4).
(6) The coordinates of latitude and longitude that are listed in
United States, Federal, and non-Federal footnotes are referenced to the
North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
* * * * *
(f) The FCC Online Table of Frequency Allocations is updated
shortly after a final rule that amends Sec. 2.106 is released. The
address for the FCC Radio Spectrum Home Page, which includes the FCC
Online Table and the FCC Allocation History File, is http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/spectrum.

MHz will be moved to other bands on a case-by-case basis, as
required, to protect radio astronomy observations from harmful
interference. As an exception, however, low powered military
transportable and mobile stations used for tactical and training
purposes will continue to use the band. To the extent practicable,
the latter operations will be adjusted to relieve such interference
as may be caused to radio astronomy observations. In the event of
harmful interference from such local operations, radio astronomy
observatories may contact local military commands directly, with a
view to effecting relief. A list of military commands, areas of
coordination, and points of contact for purposes of relieving
interference may be obtained upon request from the Office of
