Sec. 18.115  Elimination and investigation of harmful interference.



    (a) The operator of ISM equipment that causes harmful interference 

to radio services shall promptly take appropriate measures to correct 

the problem.

    (b) If the operator of ISM equipment is notified by the Commission's 

Engineer in Charge (EIC) that operation of such equipment is endangering 

the functioning of a radionavigation or safety service, the operator 

shall immediately cease operating the equipment. Operation may be 

resumed on a temporary basis only for the purpose of eliminating the 

harmful interference. Operation may be resumed on a regular basis only 

after the harmful interference has been eliminated and approval from the 

EIC obtained.

    (c) When notified by the EIC that a particular installation is 

causing harmful interference, the operator or manufacturer shall arrange 

for an engineer skilled in techniques of interference measurement and 

control to make an investigation to ensure that the harmful interference 

has been eliminated. The EIC may require the engineer making the 

investigation to furnish proof of his or her qualifications.
