Sec.  73.513   Noncommercial educational FM stations operating on unreserved
channels.

   (a) Noncommercial educational FM stations other than Class D (secondary)
   which operate on Channels 221 through 300 but which comply with  Sec. 73.503 as
   to licensing requirements and the nature of the service rendered, must
   comply with the provisions of the following sections of subpart B:  Sec.  Sec. 73.201
   through 73.213 (Classification of FM Broadcast Stations and Allocations of
   Frequencies) and such other sections of subpart B as are made specially
   applicable by the provisions of this subpart C. Stations in Alaska
   authorized before August 11, 1982, using Channels 261–300 need not meet the
   minimum effective radiated power requirement specified in  Sec. 73.211(a). In all
   other respects, stations operating on Channels 221 through 300 are to be
   governed by the provisions of this subpart and not subpart B.

   (b) When a noncommercial educational applicant is among mutually exclusive
   applications for an unreserved FM channel, the mutually exclusive
   applications will be considered pursuant to Subpart I—Competitive Bidding
   Procedures and not Subpart K—Application and Selection Procedures On
   Reserved Noncommercial Educational Channels.
