If the request is for distances less than those prescribed in the Short-Spacing Separation Table, a waiver of the short spacing rules is required. Incumbent licensees seeking to utilize an 18 dBu V/M signal strength interference contour (see 47 CFR 90.693), and that are unsuccessful in obtaining the consent of affected co-channel incumbents, may submit to any certified frequency coordinator of 800 MHz band channels, an engineering study showing that interference will not occur, together with proof that the incumbent licensee has sought consent. The incumbent may then provide to the Commission in their modification applications, a statement from a certified frequency coordinator that no harmful interference will occur to a co-channel licensee. The Commission will use the information to determine whether to grant licenses to applicants whose systems do not satisfy mileage separation requirements. Without this information, the Commission would deny the applications. After this 60 day comment period, the Commission will submit this information collection to OMB in order to seek the full three year clearance. E:\FR\FM\11JAN1.SGM 11JAN1
