              CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
 
PART 5--EXPERIMENTAL RADIO SERVICE (OTHER THAN BROADCAST)--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart B--Applications and Licenses
 
Sec.  5.89  School and student authorizations.

    The Commission may issue an authorization to schools or students for 
the purpose of presenting experiments or technical demonstrations for 
school or school approved projects that require the use of radio for a 
limited period of time. Such authorizations may be granted at the 
discretion of the Commission.
    (a) An application for a school or student authorization may be 
filed in letter form and must comply with the provisions of Sec.  5.63, 
of this part except where specified below. The application must be 
accompanied by a signed statement from a member of faculty of the 
school, on appropriate letterhead, indicating the person under whose 
general supervision the project will be conducted. In the case of 
student authorizations, the letter must state that the project has the 
approval of the school.
    (b) Frequencies in the following bands are available for assignment 
in authorizations issued under this section:

27.23-27.28 MHz.
460-461 MHz.
462.525-467.475 MHz.
2402-2483.5 MHz.
10.00-10.50 GHz.

    (c) Operations under this section are limited to 4 watts equivalent 
isotropically radiated power (EIRP). The Commission may authorize a 
greater power if a satisfactory showing is made that such greater power 
is necessary and that appropriate measures will be taken to prevent 
interference.
    (d) The frequency of operation must be measured or checked prior to 
each time of operation.
    (e) Subject to the provisions of (b), (c) and (d), the provisions in 
subpart C of this part are waived insofar as such provisions require a 
station authorized under this section to observe the technical and 
operating restrictions set forth therein.
    (f) The licensee holding an authorization issued under this section 
shall maintain a record of operation containing the following 
information:
    (1) A brief description of the experimentation being conducted.
    (2) The date and time of each period of operation.
    (3) The frequency of operation as measured or checked at the 
beginning of each period of operation.
    (g) The record of operation shall be retained for one month after 
the termination of the authorization.
