Non-Substantive Revisions to the Table of Frequency Allocations

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document makes non-substantive, editorial revisions to 
the Commission's Table of Frequency Allocations (Allocation Table) and 
to various other Commission Rules. The purpose of this action is to 
update and clarify the Allocation Table, to remove obsolete and 
outdated provisions from the Commission's Rules, and to ensure that the 
Allocation Table and related rules are consistent with the Commission's 
decisions in recent rulemaking proceedings.

DATES: Effective May 6, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom Mooring, Office of Engineering and 
Technology, (202) 418-2450, e-mail: Tom.Mooring@fcc.gov.

Summary of the Report and Order

    1. By this action, the Commission amends its rules to make non-
substantive, editorial revisions to the Allocation Table and related 
rule sections in part 2, and to the part 1 quiet zone rules, and to the 
service rules for satellite communications, international broadcast 
stations, aural broadcast auxiliary stations, the radiolocation 
service, and the Amateur Radio Service. These amendments to the 
Allocation Table are being implemented with the concurrence of the 
National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The 
purpose of this action is to update and clarify the Allocation Table, 
as well as to remove obsolete and outdated provisions from the 
Commission's rules. In doing so, we can also ensure that the Allocation 
Table and related rules are consistent with the Commission's decisions 
in recent rulemaking proceedings. This action is not intended to modify 
or otherwise change any licensee's underlying legal rights and/or 
responsibilities.
    2. This action follows the model used in past Table Clean-up 
Orders, and is important because it helps ensure consistency between 
the allocation tables maintained by the Commission and NTIA. Among the 
revisions, the document:
     Updates the Allocation Table and associated service rules 
to no longer show now-concluded transition periods for the secondary 
amateur service allocation in the band 75.5-76 GHz and for 
international broadcast stations.
     Revises the part 25 rules to reflect a prior Commission 
decision that allocated feeder link spectrum for Non-Geostationary 
Satellite Orbit Mobile-Satellite Service systems.
     Makes conforming edits to the Allocation Table to 
accurately portray a variety of Commission decisions that were 
successfully updated within the Commission's service rules but that 
were left out of the Allocation Table.
     Updates numerous footnotes to the Allocation Table for 
consistency and to reflect corrected coordinates for Federal Government 
facilities, such as radio astronomy sites.
     Corrects typographical errors, updates the FCC rule part 
cross references, and clarifies the introductory language that 
describes the United States allocations.

Administrative Procedures Act and Ordering Clause

    3. Parts 1, 2, 25, 73, 74, 90, and 97 of the Commission's rules are 
amended herein by incorporating non-substantive, editorial revisions 
only. Therefore, there is good cause for not using notice and comment 
procedure in this case, and for shortening the effective date of the 
amendments from a date not less than 30 days after publication in the 
Federal Register to the date of publication in the Federal Register. We 
find that the normal procedures for notice and comment and for 
publication as required under section 553 of the Administrative 
Procedures Act would be impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the 
public interest. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), (d)(3); Kessler v. FCC, 326 
F.2d 673 (DC Cir. 1963). Furthermore, the International Table, the 
Federal Table, and the FCC Rule Part(s) column within 47 CFR 2.106 are 
included in the Commission's rules for informational purposes only and 
are therefore exempt from the notice provisions of the Administrative 
Procedures Act.
    4. Accordingly, it is ordered that 47 CFR parts 1, 2, 25, 73, 74, 
90, and 97 of the Commission's rules, are amended and are effective 
upon date of publication in the Federal Register. This action is taken 
pursuant to authority found in sections 4(i) and 303 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 303, and 
in Sec. Sec.  0.31, 0.231(b) and 0.241 of the Commission's rules, 47 
CFR 0.31, 0.231(b) and 0.241.
    5. The Commission will not send a copy of this Memorandum Opinion 
and Order (MO&O), pursuant to the Congressional Review Act. The MO&O 
does not change any rules; it makes non-substantive, editorial 
revisions to the Table of Frequency Allocation and to various other 
Commission rules.

5. Section 2.105 is amended by revising paragraphs (a), (b), 
(d)(5)(iv), and (f), by revising footnotes 1 through 6 and removing 
footnote 7, by adding new paragraph (d)(6), and by revising the heading 
of paragraph (d) to read as follows:


Sec.  2.105  United States Table of Frequency Allocations.

    (a) The United States Table of Frequency Allocations (United States 
Table) is subdivided into the Federal Table of Frequency Allocations 
(Federal Table, column 4 of Sec.  2.106) and the non-Federal Table of 
Frequency Allocations (non-Federal Table, column 5 of Sec.  2.106). The 
United States Table is based on the Region 2 Table because the relevant 
area of jurisdiction is located primarily in Region 2 \1\ (i.e., the 50 
States, the District of Columbia, the Caribbean insular areas,\2\ and 
some of the Pacific insular areas).\3\ The Federal Table is 
administered by NTIA \4\ and the non-Federal Table is administered by 
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See 2.104(b) for definitions of the ITU Regions.
    \2\ The operation of stations in the U.S. insular areas located 
in Region 2 is generally governed by the United States Table. The 
U.S. insular areas located in Region 2 are comprised of the 
Caribbean insular areas and two of the eleven Pacific insular areas. 
The Caribbean insular areas are Puerto Rico, the United States 
Virgin Islands, and Navassa Island. The Pacific insular areas 
located in Region 2 are Johnston Atoll and Midway Atoll.
    \3\ The operation of stations in the Pacific insular areas 
located in Region 3 is generally governed by the Region 3 Table 
(i.e., column 3 of Sec.  2.106). The Pacific insular areas located 
in Region 3 are American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, 
Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Kingman Reef, Palmyra 
Island, and Wake Island.
    \4\ Section 305(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended. See Public Law 102-538, 106 Stat. 3533 (1992).
    \5\ The Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (b) In the United States, radio spectrum may be allocated to either 
Federal or non-Federal use exclusively, or for shared use. In the case 
of shared use, the type of service(s) permitted need not be the same 
[e.g., Federal FIXED, non-Federal MOBILE]. The terms used to designate 
categories of services and allocations \6\ in columns 4 and 5 of Sec.  
2.106 correspond to the terms in the ITU Radio Regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The radio services are defined in 47 CFR 2.1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* * * * *
    (d) Format of the United States Table. * * *
    (5) * * *
    (iv) Any footnote consisting of the letter ``G'' followed by one or 
more digits, e.g., G2, denotes a stipulation applicable only to Federal 
operations. Federal footnotes appear solely in the Federal Table 
(column 4).
    (6) The coordinates of latitude and longitude that are listed in 
United States, Federal, and non-Federal footnotes are referenced to the 
North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
* * * * *
    (f) The FCC Online Table of Frequency Allocations is updated 
shortly after a final rule that amends Sec.  2.106 is released. The 
address for the FCC Radio Spectrum Home Page, which includes the FCC 
Online Table and the FCC Allocation History File, is https://
www.fcc.gov/oet/spectrum.

    US81 The band 38-38.25 MHz is used by both Federal and non-
Federal radio astronomy observatories. No new fixed or mobile 
assignments are to be made and Federal stations in the band 38-38.25 
MHz will be moved to other bands on a case-by-case basis, as 
required, to protect radio astronomy observations from harmful 
interference. As an exception, however, low powered military 
transportable and mobile stations used for tactical and training 
purposes will continue to use the band. To the extent practicable, 
the latter operations will be adjusted to relieve such interference 
as may be caused to radio astronomy observations. In the event of 
harmful interference from such local operations, radio astronomy 
observatories may contact local military commands directly, with a 
view to effecting relief. A list of military commands, areas of 
coordination, and points of contact for purposes of relieving 
interference may be obtained upon request from the Office of 
Engineering and Technology, FCC, Washington, DC 20554.
