The rule in § 15.240 required Office of Management and Budget approval and the Commission stated in its previous Federal Register publication that it would announce the effective date of that section when approved. This document announces the effective date of § 15.240. DATES: The amendment to 47 CFR 15.240 published at 69 FR 29459, May 24, 2004, became effective on June 23, 2004.

Summary of the Report and Order 1. The Commission amended parts 2 and 90 of its rules to revise our transition plan for primary and secondary PLMR operations in certain Federal bands. The Commission concluded that these actions will provide for an orderly transition from wideband (25 kHz channels) to narrowband (12.5 kHz channels) operations, increase spectrum efficiency, maintain compatibility with Federal operations, permit PLMR licensees to operate using existing equipment with greater confidence that their critical operations will not be suddenly required to cease transmissions, and significantly reduce the probability that wideband PLMR operations will interfere with new Federal operations. Specifically, the Commission narrowbanded 25 Hydrological and Meteorological (Hydro) channels, nine Forest Firefighting and Conservation channels (two of these channels are available to conservation agencies, while all nine are available for firefighting use), two Public Safety channels, three medical E:\FR\FM\27APR1.SGM 27APR1
