Sec. 80.513 Frequency coordination.
(a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section each
application for a new VHF private coast station license or modification of
an existing license to be located in an area having a recognized frequency
coordinating committee must be accompanied by:
(1) A report based on a field study, indicating the degree of probable
interference to existing stations operating in the same area. The applicant
must consider all stations operating on the working frequency or frequencies
requested or assigned within 80 km (50 miles) of the proposed station
location, and
(2) The report must include a statement that all existing licensees on the
frequency within 80 km (50 miles) and the frequency coordinating committee
have been notified of the applicant's intention to file an application. The
notice of intention to file must provide the licensees concerned and the
advisory committee with the following information: The frequency and
emission; transmitter location and power; and the antenna height proposed by
the applicant.
(b) Applications for modification need not be accompanied by the field study
where the modification does not involve any change in frequency(ies), power,
emission, antenna height, antenna location or area of operation.
(c)(1) In lieu of the field study, the applicant may acquire a statement
from a frequency coordinating committee. The applicant must certify on the
application concerning the recommendations of the coordinating committee.
The committee must comment on the requested frequency or the proposed
changes in the authorized station and give an opinion regarding the probable
interference to existing stations. The committee must consider all stations
operating on the requested frequency within 80 km (50 miles) of the proposed
station location. The frequency coordinating committee statement must also
recommend a frequency which will result in the least amount of interference
to proposed and existing stations. Committee recommendations may also
include comments on technical factors and may recommend restrictions to
minimize interference.
(2) A frequency coordinating committee must be representative of all persons
who are eligible for VHF private coast stations within the service area of
the recognized frequency coordinating committee. A statement of
organization, service area and composition of the committee must be
submitted to the Commission for approval. The functions of any coordinating
committee are purely advisory to the applicant and the Commission. Its
recommendations are not binding upon either the applicant or the Commission.
