Sec.  22.973   Information exchange.

   

   (a) Prior notification. Public safety/CII licensees may notify a part
   90 ESMR or cellular radiotelephone licensee that they wish to receive
   prior notification of the activation or modification of part 90 ESMR
   or cellular radiotelephone cell sites in their area. Thereafter, the
   part 90 ESMR or cellular radiotelephone licensee must provide the
   following information to the public safety/CII licensee at least 10
   business days before a new cell site is activated or an existing cell
   site is modified:

   (1) Location;

   (2) Effective radiated power;

   (3) Antenna height;

   (4) Channels available for use.

   (b) Purpose of prior notification. The prior coordination of cell
   sites is for informational purposes only. Public safety/CII licensees
   are not afforded the right to accept or reject the activation of a
   proposed cell or to unilaterally require changes in its operating
   parameters. The principal purposes of notification are to:

   (1) Allow a public safety licensee to advise the part 90 of this
   chapter ESMR or Cellular Radiotelephone licensee whether it believes a
   proposed cell will generate unacceptable interference;

   (2) Permit Cellular Radiotelephone or part 90 of this chapter ESMR
   licensees to make voluntary changes in cell parameters when a public
   safety licensee alerts them to possible interference; and

   (3) Rapidly identify the source if interference is encountered when
   the cell is activated.
