FCC Actions Docket 07-100

The FCC amended certain Part 90 rules as found in the attached document. Topics of particular interest to public safety include the following.

1. The FCC sought comment on whether to eliminate the frequency coordination requirement for applications where the only change is a reduction in authorized bandwidth on the licensed
center frequencies. The FCC found that a simple reduction in authorized bandwidth cannot adversely impact co-channel or adjacent channel licensees and found that is unnecessary for a coordinator to review the proposal in advance.

2. The Commission invited commenters to suggest other types of applications for which frequency coordination should no longer be required. The FCC found that applications seeking to modify licenses by lowering antenna height and/or decreasing power should be exempted from frequency coordination.

3. A number of additional Part 90 changes or explanations as to why changes weren’t made are included in the document.
