Sec.  74.103  Frequency assignment.

    (a) Frequencies allocated to broadcasting and the various categories 
of auxiliary stations, in the FCC's Table of Frequency Allocations (Part 
2 of this chapter), may be assigned respectively to experimental 
broadcast and experimental auxiliary stations.
    (b) More than one frequency may be assigned upon a satisfactory 
showing of the need therefor.
    (c) Frequencies best suited to the purpose of the experimentation 
and on which there appears to be the least likelihood of interference to 
established stations shall be selected.
    (d) In a case of important experimentation which cannot be feasibly 
conducted on frequencies allocated to

broadcasting or the various categories of auxiliary stations, the FCC 
may authorize an experimental station of any class to operate on other 
frequencies upon a satisfactory showing of the need therefore and a 
showing that the proposed operation can be conducted without causing 
harmful interference to established services. However, experimental 
operation which looks toward the development of radio transmitting 
apparatus or the rendition of any type of regular service using such 
frequencies will not be authorized prior to a determination by the FCC 
that the development of such apparatus or the rendition of such service 
would serve the public interest.
