re-auctioned licensees. This collection
includes rules to govern the future
operation and licensing of the 220–222
MHz band (220 MHz service). In
establishing this licensing plan, FCC’s
goal is to establish a flexible regulatory
framework that allows for efficient
licensing of the 220 MHz service,
eliminates unnecessary regulatory
burdens, and enhances the competitive
potential of the 220 MHz service in the
mobile service marketplace. However,
as with any licensing and operational
plan for a radio service, a certain
number of regulatory and information
collection burdens are necessary to
verify licensee compliance with FCC
rules.

modification applications and pending
applications.
