INTRODUCTION 1. By this action, we amend the Table of Frequency Allocations ("Table") and supporting sections of the Commission's Rules in order to more clearly display the Table and to assist the Federal Register staff by making it easier for them to maintain the Table in the Code of Federal Regulations. We take this action with the concurrence of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration ("NTIA"). We also take this opportunity to make the following types of non-substantive amendments: The International Table in the Commission's Rules is updated to reflect the [International] Table of Frequency Allocations as it is found in the 1998 International Telecommunication Union ("ITU") Radio Regulations; International footnotes in the United States Table that have not been substantively revised are re-numbered; Expired footnotes or portions of footnotes are removed from the United States Table; The special-use frequencies column of the Table is deleted; and Various typographical errors and omissions are corrected. As a by-product of this action, we will now be able to place the Table on the Commission's web site and to update the on-line Table shortly after any amendments to the Table have been released. This ministerial action does not make any substantive change to any licensee's legal rights and responsibilities. II. DISCUSSION 2. The Table of Frequency Allocations consists of the International Table of Frequency Allocations ("International Table") and the United States Table of Frequency Allocations ("United States Table") and is codified at Section 2.106 of the Commission's Rules. The International Table is subdivided into the Region 1 Table (column 1), the Region 2 Table (column 2), and the Region 3 Table (column 3), and is included in the Commission's Rules for informational purposes only. We are updating the International Table to reflect the [International] Table of Frequency Allocations as it is found in Article S5, Section IV, of the 1998 Radio Regulations. We are also updating Section 2.104 of the Commission's Rules, which describes the International Table, to reflect Section I (Regions and areas) and Section II (Categories of services and allocations) of Article S5 of the 1998 Radio Regulations. We observe that the ITU has re-numbered all of the international footnotes in the International Table using the "S" numbering scheme. Therefore, we are deleting all international footnotes that use the old numbering scheme from 47 C.F.R.  2.106, except for the twenty substantively revised international footnotes that have previously been adopted domestically. These international footnotes will be retained at this time and will be listed immediately behind the "S" numbering scheme international footnotes. 3. At present, the United States Table consists of Federal Government Table of Frequency Allocations ("Federal Government Table," column 4), the Non-Federal Government Table of Frequency Allocations ("Non-Federal Government Table," column 5), rule part cross references (column 6), and special-use frequencies (column 7). The United States Table is described in Section 2.105 of the Commission's Rules. The Federal Government Table, the rule part(s) cross references, and the special-use frequencies are included in the Commission's Rules for informational purposes only. We find that the special-use frequencies column (column 7) does not list any information not already contained in the pertinent service rules and therefore delete column 7 from the Table and delete its description from  2.105(d)(6). We clarify that the United States Table consists only of the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables; i.e., the rule part cross references are no longer considered part of the United States Table. 4. In order to make it easier to understand how shared spectrum is allocated, we have merged the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables for those frequency bands that have exactly the same allocations and footnotes. We believe that this action also highlights differences in shared spectrum between the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables, i.e., there must be some difference between the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables or they would have been merged. We are showing all rule part cross references in column 6 in normal characters because we believe that this action will highlight primary services, which will be the only material printed in capitals. We are merging frequency boxes in column 6 in order to more clearly show the span of frequencies that are listed in the service rules. 5. We are adopting the ITU's placement of footnote references in the United States Table. Thus, footnote references which appear in the Table below the allocated service or services apply to the whole of the allocation concerned. Footnote references which appear to the right of the name of a service are applicable only to that particular service. Previously, we generally placed all footnotes at the bottom of a frequency band box. We believe that associating a footnote reference with its service will assist readers in more easily understanding the restrictions and/or additional information concerning that allocation. Generally, where an international footnote is applicable, without modification, to the United States Table, the footnote appears in the United States Table (columns 4 and 5) and denotes a stipulation affecting both Federal government and non-Federal government service allocations. If, however, an international footnote pertains to a service allocated only for Federal government or non-Federal government use, we now stipulate that the international footnote will be placed only in the affected Table. For example, "AMATEUR S5.142" will be shown only in the Non-Federal Government Table. 6. Finally, we are revising the United States Table by paralleling the order that conforming allocations are listed in the Region 2 allocation plan and thus, highlight non-conforming national allocations. Specifically, we will list allocations in each band according to the following order of precedence: (1) primary allocations that conform to the Region 2 Table, (2) primary allocations that do not conform to the Region 2 Table, (3) secondary allocations that conform to the Region 2 Table, and (4) secondary allocations that do not conform to the Region 2 Table. 7. The amended United States Table is based on the 1998 edition of the Table, the Report and Order in WT Docket No. 99-66 that established a Medical Implant Communications Service in the 402-405 MHz band, the Report and Order in ET Docket No. 98-95 that made the 5850-5925 MHz band available for use by Dedicated Short Range Communications ("DSRC") systems operating in the Intelligent Transportation System ("ITS") radio service, and the Report and Order in IB Docket No. 97-95 that realigned the allocations from 36 GHz to 51.4 GHz. All amendments to the United States Table are described below, except for those international footnotes that were merely re-numbered or slightly modified, which are listed in Appendix A. We emphasize that all of these amendments are non-substantive in nature. Changes to the U.S. Table in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 3000 kHz (VLF, LF & MF): 8. In the 70-90 kHz band, the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables are corrected by deleting footnote reference US288. In the 435-495 kHz band, the Federal Government Table is corrected to indicate that the aeronautical radionavigation service is allocated on a secondary -- not primary -- basis. 9. Footnote US221 is corrected to read as follows: "Use of the mobile service in the bands 525-535 kHz and 1605-1615 kHz is limited to distribution of public service information from Travelers Information stations operating on 530 kHz and 1610 kHz." 10. In the 535-1705 kHz band, the Non-Federal Government Table is revised by subdividing the band into two segments, 535-1605 kHz and 1605-1705 kHz, and by transferring the rule-part cross references to their correct column. The Federal Government Table is revised by displaying the mobile service allocation in the 1605-1615 kHz band as a primary -- not secondary -- allocation. 11. Pre-1991 frequencies are deleted from footnote US296, which is revised to read as follows: "In the bands designated for ship wide-band telegraphy, facsimile and special transmission systems, the following assignable frequencies are available to non-Federal government stations on a shared basis with Federal government stations: 2070.5, 2072.5, 2074.5, 2076.5, 4154.5, 4169.5, 6235.5, 6259.5, 8302.5, 8338.5, 12370.5, 12418.5, 16551.5, 16614.5, 18847.5, 18868.5, 22181.5, 22238.5, 25123.5, and 25159.5 kHz." Changes to the United States Table in the Frequency Range from 3 MHz to 30 MHz (HF): 12. Minor typographical errors are corrected in footnote G106. 13. In the 5060-5450 kHz band, the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables are corrected to indicate that the mobile except aeronautical mobile service is allocated on a secondary -- not primary -- basis. Expired footnote US284 is removed from the list of United States footnotes. In the 6765-7000 kHz band, the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables are corrected to indicate that the mobile service is allocated on a secondary -- not primary -- basis. In the 10003- 10005 kHz band, the Non-Federal Government Table is corrected by adding reference to footnote US340 and by deleting reference to footnote G106. Changes to the United States Table in the Frequency Range from 30 MHz to 300 MHz (VHF): 14. We find that the frequency bands listed in footnote NG124 can be more closely matched to the frequency segments listed in Section 90.20(e)(4) of the Commission's Rules. Accordingly, footnote NG124 is revised to read as follows: "Within designated segments of the bands that comprise 30.85-47.41 MHz, 150.8-159.465 MHz, and 453.0125-467.9875 MHz, police licensees are authorized to operate low power radio transmitters on a secondary, non-interference basis in accordance with the provisions of 47 C.F.R.  2.803 and 90.20(e)(5)." Reference to footnote NG124 is deleted from the 35-36 MHz and 173.2-173.4 MHz bands because these bands are not among the designated segments listed in Section 90.20(e)(4). In the 154-156.2475 MHz band, reference to footnotes NG124 and NG148 is deleted from the Federal Government Table and is added to the Non-Federal Government Table. 15. Expired footnote NG133, which dealt with the 73-74.6 MHz band, is removed from the list of non-Federal government footnotes. 16. Footnote 572 has been re-numbered as footnote S5.180 and its text has been modified in order to remove an expired requirement, which read as follows: "Until 31 December 1989, administrations in Regions 2 and 3 should refrain from assigning frequencies to other services in the bands 74.6-74.8 MHz and 75.2-75.4 MHz." Since footnote S5.180 no longer applies to the 74.6- 74.8 MHz and 75.2-75.4 MHz bands, the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables are updated by deleting the reference to footnote 572 in those bands; footnote 572 is re-numbered as S5.180 in the remaining 74.8-75.5 MHz band. 17. In the 76-88 MHz band, the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables are corrected by deleting footnote reference NG128 from the Federal Government Table and adding it to the Non- Federal Government Table. In addition, we take this opportunity to correct the text of footnote NG128, which is revised to read as follows: "In the band 535-1705 kHz, AM broadcast licensees or permittees may use their AM carrier on a secondary basis to transmit signals intended for both broadcast and non-broadcast purposes. In the band 88-108 MHz, FM broadcast licensees or permittees are permitted to use subcarriers on a secondary basis to transmit signals intended for both broadcast and non-broadcast purposes. In the bands 54-72, 76-88, 174-216, 470-608 and 614-806 MHz, TV broadcast licensees or permittees are permitted to use subcarriers on a secondary basis for both broadcast and non-broadcast purposes." 18. In the 108-117.975 MHz, 1559-1610 MHz, and 5000-5250 MHz bands, we note that NTIA has added footnote G126 to the Federal Government Table in its Manual. The Commission has previously proposed to add footnote G126 to the Federal Government Table in the 5000-5150 MHz band. We intend to fold consideration of the adoption of footnote G126 in the 108-117.975 MHz and 1559-1610 MHz bands into an upcoming proceeding that will deal primarily with the domestic implementation of allocation amendments made at World Radiocommunication Conferences that have not previously been considered by the Commission ("WRC Implementation proceeding"). At this time, we have added a note in column 6 for each of these bands, thus highlighting this issue. 19. In the 137.025-137.175 MHz and 137.825-138 MHz bands, the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables are corrected to indicate that the mobile-satellite service is allocated on a secondary -- not primary -- basis. In the 149.9-150.05 MHz band, the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables are corrected by changing the land mobile-satellite service allocation to a mobile- satellite service allocation. After deleting expired information, the limitations found in footnotes US322 and US326 are combined into a single footnote, US322, which is revised to read as follows: "Use of the bands 149.9-150.5 MHz and 399.9-400.05 MHz by the mobile-satellite service (Earth-to-space) is limited to non-voice, non-geostationary satellite systems, including satellite links between land earth stations." 20. We find it unnecessary to have both a primary land mobile service allocation and reference to footnote NG154 in the 157.1875-157.45 MHz and 161.775-162.0125 MHz bands. Accordingly, we remove footnote reference NG154 from the Non-Federal Government Table and remove footnote NG154 from the list of non-Federal government footnotes. 21. We find it unnecessary to have a reference to footnote 627 in the Non-Federal Government Table because the bands comprising 216-225 MHz were never allocated to the non- Federal government radiolocation service. Accordingly, we remove footnote reference 627 from the Non-Federal Government Table. In preparation for the transfer of the 216-220 MHz band, a note is added to column 6 to explain that the 216-220 MHz will become a mixed-use band in January 2002, thus alerting the public to the impending re-allocation of the band. Changes to the United States Table in the Frequency Range from 300 MHz to 3000 MHz (UHF): 22. In the 400.15-401 MHz band, the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables are corrected by deleting footnote reference 647 because this footnote does not pertain to the United States. Also in the 400.15-401 MHz band, the Non-Federal Government Table is corrected by deleting the meteorological-satellite service (space-to-Earth) allocation. 23. We note that the Commission has proposed to allocate the 455-456 MHz and 459-460 MHz bands for uplinks for non-voice, non-geostationary mobile satellite services ("Little LEOs"). At this time, we make only non-substantive revisions to these bands, e.g., the International Table is updated. 24. Various typographical errors in footnote US7, which deals with the 420-450 MHz band, are corrected. In the 467.7375-470 MHz band, the Federal Government Table is corrected by deleting the mobile service allocation. 25. In preparation for the re-allocation of the 698-746 MHz segment (UHF TV Channels 52- 59), the 614-746 MHz band is subdivided into two segments, 614-698 MHz and 698-746 MHz; and a note is added to column 6 of the new 698-746 MHz band to explain that the Commission is required to reallocate and auction this band by September 20, 2002, thus alerting the public to the impending re-allocation of the band. 26. Reference to footnote NG158, which deals with the 764-776 MHz and 794-806 MHz bands, is added to the 764-776 MHz band and is deleted from the 776-794 MHz band. 27. The rule part cross reference in footnote NG120 is updated and the footnote now reads as follows: "Frequencies in the band 928-960 MHz may be assigned for multiple address systems and mobile operations on a primary basis as specified in 47 C.F.R. part 101." Reference to footnote NG120 is added to the 928-929 MHz, 932-935 MHz, and 941-944 MHz bands. 28. In the bands comprising 1215-1300 MHz, we decline to delete footnote reference S5.333 (previously numbered as 713) in the Non-Federal Government Table. Footnote US311, which pertains to the Federal Government Table in 1350-1400 MHz band, is updated to conform to a NTIA action. 29. We note that the Commission has proposed to identify spectrum in the 1390-1400 MHz and 1427-1432 MHz bands for medical telemetry equipment. At this time, we make only non- substantive revisions to the 1390-1400 MHz and 1427-1435 MHz Government transfer bands, i.e., the International Table is updated and the 1350-1400 MHz band is subdivided into two segments, 1350-1390 MHz and 1390-1400 MHz. Additionally, in preparation for the re-allocation of the 1390- 1400 MHz and 1427-1429 MHz bands, notes are added to column 6 to explain that these bands became non-Federal government exclusive spectrum in January 1999, thus alerting the public to the impending re-allocation of these bands. In preparation for the re-allocation of the 1429-1435 MHz band, a note is added to column 6 that states that as January 1999, the 1429-1432 MHz segment is non-Federal government exclusive spectrum and the 1432-1435 MHz segment is mixed-use spectrum, thus alerting the public to the impending re-allocation of this band. 30. A typographical error in footnote US78, which pertains to the bands comprising 1435- 1535 MHz, is corrected. Expired footnote US272, which dealt with the 1530-1535 MHz band, is removed from the list of United States footnotes. Footnote US319, which currently lists only the Little LEO bands, is corrected to include the Big LEO service link bands at 1610-1626.5 MHz and 2483.5-2500 MHz bands. In the 1660-1660.5 MHz band, footnote reference US308 is added. 31. In the 1670-1690 MHz and 1690-1700 MHz bands, in preparation for the re-allocation of the 1670-1675 MHz band, the bands are revised as 1670-1675 MHz and 1675-1700 MHz. At this time, we make only non-substantive revisions to the 1670-1675 MHz and 1675-1700 MHz bands, i.e., the International Table is updated and a note is added to column 6 stating that the 1670-1675 MHz band became mixed-use spectrum in January 1999, thus alerting the public to the impending re- allocation of the band. 32. In the 1710-1850 MHz band, in preparation for the transfer of the 1710-1755 MHz Federal government transfer band, the band is subdivided into two segments, 1710-1755 MHz and 1755-1850 MHz. At this time, we make only non-substantive revisions to the 1710-1755 MHz and 1755-1850 MHz bands, i.e., the International Table is updated and a note is added to column 6 stating that the proceeds from the auction of the 1710-1755 MHz mixed-use band are to be deposited not later than September 30, 2002. Footnote US256, which deals with 1718.8-1722.2 MHz, is revised by correcting Green Bank's coordination rectangle. 33. We note that the Commission has made proposals for the 1990-2110 MHz and 2165- 2200 MHz bands and that there are petitions for reconsideration concerning these proposals. At this time, we make only non-substantive revisions to the 1990-2110 MHz and 2165-2200 MHz bands, i.e., the International Table is updated. 34. In the 2110-2150 MHz band, a note is added to column 6 stating that the Commission is required to complete all actions necessary to permit the assignment of this band by September 30, 2002, thus alerting the public to the statutory requirement. 35. At the request of NTIA, we make the following non-substantive changes to the Federal government exclusive band at 2200-2290 MHz. Specifically, the Federal Government Table is revised by moving the space operation and earth exploration-satellite service allocations, limited to space-to-Earth and space-to-space transmissions, from footnote G101 up into the Table; footnote reference S5.392 is added; and footnote G101 is deleted. The Federal Government Table is further revised by limiting the existing fixed service allocation to line-of-sight use only and by limiting the existing mobile service allocation to line-of-sight use only, including aeronautical telemetering, but excluding flight testing of manned aircraft. Finally, the text of footnote US303 is revised by updating its cross reference to ITU rules. 36. In preparation for the re-allocation of the 2300-2305 MHz band, a note is added to column 6 that states that 2300-2305 MHz became non-Federal government exclusive spectrum in August 1995. 37. In order to more clearly show existing fixed-satellite service allocations, the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth) allocation in the 2500-2655 MHz band and the existing fixed-satellite service (Earth-to-space) allocation in the 2655-2690 MHz band are moved out from footnote NG102 up into the Non-Federal Government Table. Footnote NG102 is revised to remove these now duplicative FSS allocations and to update the regulatory status of several Pacific islands." Also in the 2655- 2690 MHz band, typographical errors in footnote NG47 are corrected. Changes to the United States Table in the Frequency Range from 3 GHz to 30 GHz (SHF): 38. We note that the Commission has proposed to re-allocate the 3650-3700 MHz Government transfer band to the non-Federal government fixed service. At this time, we make only non-substantive revisions to the 3650-3700 MHz band, e.g., the International Table is updated. Additionally, in preparation for the re-allocation of the 3650-3700 MHz mixed-use band, we are making the following non-substantive revisions: (1) the non-Federal government band at 3600-3700 MHz is subdivided into two segments, 3600-3650 MHz and 3650-3700 MHz; (2) the Federal government bands at 3500-3600 MHz and 3600-3700 MHz are revised as the 3500-3650 MHz and 3650-3700 MHz bands; and (3) a note is added to column 6 to explain that the 3650-3700 MHz band became mixed-use spectrum in January 1999, thus alerting the public to the impending re-allocation of the band. 39. The President has re-claimed the 4635-4685 MHz non-Federal government exclusive band and has substituted the 4940-4990 MHz non-Federal government exclusive band in its place. The Commission has previously re-allocated the 4660-4685 MHz segment to the General Wireless Communications Service ("GWCS"). Accordingly, we are hereby returning the 4660-4685 MHz segment to its former status. Furthermore, in preparation for the re-allocation of the 4940-4990 MHz non-Federal government exclusive band, the 4800-4990 MHz band is subdivided into two segments, 4800-4940 MHz and 4940-4990 MHz. A note is added to column 6 to explain that the 4940-4990 MHz became non-Federal government exclusive spectrum in March 1999, thus alerting the public to the impending re-allocation of the band. Footnote US257, which deals with 4950-4990 MHz, is revised by correcting typographical errors concerning the description of the Owens Valley Radio Observatory. 40. At WRC-95, the 5725-5850 MHz band was subdivided into two segments, 5725-5830 MHz and 5830-5850 MHz, and the footnote allocation for the amateur-satellite service (space-to- Earth) in the 5830-5850 MHz band -- international footnote 808 -- was transferred to the body of the International Table, and footnote 808 was suppressed. Since the United States Table currently contains this footnote allocation, we are making a conforming change to the Non-Federal Government Table, i.e., in the Non-Federal Government Table, the 5650-5850 MHz band is subdivided into two segments, 5650-5830 MHz and 5830-5850 MHz, the amateur-satellite service (space-to-Earth) is added, and footnote 808 is deleted. 41. In the 9200-9500 MHz band, the Federal Government Table is corrected to indicate that the radiolocation service is allocated on a secondary -- not primary -- basis. 42. In the 12.2-12.7 GHz band, the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables are corrected by removing footnote reference 843. We observe that the Direct Broadcast Satellite ("DBS") service has been available to the public for several years and thus we find that footnotes NG139 and NG140 are no longer needed. Accordingly, footnotes NG139 and NG140 are removed from the list of non-Federal government footnotes and reference to footnotes NG139 and NG140 is removed from the 12.2-12.7 GHz band and from the 17.3-17.7 GHz and 17.7-17.8 GHz bands, respectively. 43. In the 14-14.2 GHz band, the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables are corrected by adding footnote reference US292. Expired footnote G119 is removed from the list of Government footnotes and reference to footnote G119 is removed from the 14.7145-15.1365 GHz band in the Federal Government Table. 44. The 20.2-21.2 GHz band has been missing from the Table since the publication of the 1994 edition of the C.F.R. We are replacing the entries for this band with the allocations shown in 47 C.F.R.  2.106 (1994). 45. Expired footnote US341 is removed from the list of United States footnotes and reference to footnote US341 is removed from the 24.25-24.45 GHz band. 46. In the bands comprising 25.25-27.5 GHz, we note that NTIA has revised the Federal Government Table in its Manual by (1) subdividing the 25.25-27 GHz band into two bands, 25.25- 25.5 GHz and 25.5-27 GHz (2) allocating the 25.25-25.5 GHz, 25.5-27 GHz, and 27-27.5 GHz bands to the inter-satellite service ("ISS") on a primary basis, (3) limiting the use of these ISS allocations through the adoption of footnote 881A (re-numbered as S5.536), (4) deleting the secondary earth exploration-satellite service (space-to-Earth) allocation from the 25.25-25.5 GHz and 27-27.5 GHz bands, and (4) changing the directional indicator for the earth exploration-satellite service allocation in the remaining 25.5-27 GHz segment from space-to-space to space-to-Earth. NTIA recommends that the Commission consider amending the Non-Federal Government Table by making the same changes to the earth exploration-satellite service in the bands comprising 25.25-27.5 GHz. At this time, we are making the following non-substantive revisions to the Federal Government Table: (1) subdividing the 25.25-27 GHz band into two bands, 25.25-25.5 GHz and 25.5-27 GHz, (2) deleting the secondary earth exploration-satellite service (space-to-Earth) allocation from the 25.25-25.5 GHz and 27-27.5 GHz bands, and (3) adding a note in column 6, thus highlighting this issue. We intend to fold consideration of the substantive portion of this proposal into the upcoming WRC Implementation proceeding. Changes to the United States Table in the Frequency Range from 30 GHz to 300 GHz (EHF): 47. We note that the Commission has recently made proposals for the bands comprising 31.3- 33.4 GHz, primarily concerning the deletion of the non-Federal government radionavigation service from the 31.8-32.3 GHz band. At this time, we are making only non-substantive revisions to the frequency bands comprising 31.3-33.4 GHz. Specifically, the International Table is updated and the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables are revised by adding missing footnote references 893 (re-numbered as S5.548), US69, US262 and US278 to the 32-33 GHz band. 48. We note that the Commission has proposed to realign the allocations in the 50.2-50.4 GHz and 51.4-71.0 GHz bands. At this time, we make only non-substantive revisions to the 50.2- 50.4 GHz and 51.4-71.0 GHz bands, i.e., the International Table is updated for these bands. 49. In the 71-74 GHz band, most of the entries for the Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables were mistakenly placed in columns 3 and 4, not in columns 4 and 5. Accordingly, we revise the allocations for the 71-74 GHz band to display them as the allocations were shown in 47 C.F.R.  2.106 (1994 edition). 50. In the 116-126 GHz band, the Non-Federal Government Table is corrected by inserting a reference to footnote S5.341. In the 102-105 GHz band, the Non-Federal Government Table is corrected by adding reference to footnote US211. 51. In the 116-126 GHz band, WRC-97 moved the secondary amateur service allocation found in footnote reference 915 up into the Table and deleted footnote 915. As a consequence of that action, the 116-126 GHz band is divided into three bands: 116-119.98 GHz, 119.98-120.02 GHz, and 120.02-126 GHz; and a secondary amateur service allocation is added to the 119.98-120.02 GHz band. We are conforming the United States Table to this WRC-97 action. Also in the 116-126 GHz band (as shown in the 1998 C.F.R.), footnote 916 is re-numbered as S5.138. 52. At WRC-95, the footnote allocation for the amateur service in the 119.98-120.02 GHz band -- international footnote 915 -- was transferred to the body of the Table, and footnote 915 was suppressed. Since the United States Table currently contains this footnote allocation, we are making a conforming change to the non-Federal government service allocations in this band. III. CONCLUSION AND ORDERING CLAUSE 53. The International Table, the Federal Government Table, references to Commission rule parts, and special-use frequencies are included in the Commission's Rules for informational purposes only. The Non-Federal Government Table, which is administered by the Commission, is 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 such publication. We find that the normal procedures for notice and comment and for publication 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 (D.C. Cir. 1963). 54. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Part 2 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. Part 2, IS AMENDED as set forth in Appendix B, effective upon 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 Sections 0.31, 0.231(b) and 0.241 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.31, 0.231(b) and 0.241. FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Dale N. Hatfield Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology Andrew S. Fishel Managing Director Appendix A: International Footnotes in the United States Table The Federal and Non-Federal Government Tables are updated by re-numbering the following footnote references (except as noted): New Footnote Old Footnote Band(s) Comment S5.53 444 Below 9 kHz In the text of the footnote, a cross reference to another ITU rule has been dropped.

The authority citation for Part 2 continues to read as follows: AUTHORITY: 47 U.S.C. 154, 302, 303, 307, 336 and 337, unless otherwise noted. 2. Paragraph 2.100 is revised to read as follows:  2.100 International regulations in force. The provisions of the Radio Regulations (Geneva, 1998) apply provisionally as from January 1, 1999, unless an earlier date is specified in Article S59. 3. Section 2.104 is revised to read as follows:  2.104 International Table of Frequency Allocations. (a) The International Table of Frequency Allocations is subdivided into the Region 1 Table (column 1 of  2.106), the Region 2 Table (column 2 of  2.106), and the Region 3 Table (column 3 of  2.106). The International Table is included for informational purposes only. (b) Regions. For the allocation of frequencies the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has divided the world into three Regions as shown in Figure 1 and described below: (1) Region 1. Region 1 includes the area limited on the east by line A (lines A, B and C are defined below) and on the west by line B, excluding any of the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran which lies between these limits. It also includes the whole of the territory of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russian Federation, Georgia, Kazakstan, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey and Ukraine and the area to the north of Russian Federation which lies between lines A and C. (2) Region 2. Region 2 includes the area limited on the east by line B and on the west by line C. (3) Region 3. Region 3 includes the area limited on the east by line C and on the west by line A, except any of the territory of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russian Federation, Georgia, Kazakstan, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey and Ukraine and the area to the north of Russian Federation. It also includes that part of the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran lying outside of those limits. (4) The lines A, B and C are defined as follows: (i) Line A. Line A extends from the North Pole along meridian 40ø East of Greenwich to parallel 40ø North; thence by great circle arc to the intersection of meridian 60ø East and the Tropic of Cancer; thence along the meridian 60ø East to the South Pole. (ii) Line B. Line B extends from the North Pole along meridian 10ø West of Greenwich to its intersection with parallel 72ø North; thence by great circle arc to the intersection of meridian 50ø West and parallel 40ø North; thence by great circle arc to the intersection of meridian 20ø West and parallel 10ø South; thence along meridian 20ø West to the South Pole. (iii) Line C. Line C extends from the North Pole by great circle arc to the intersection of parallel 65ø 30 North with the international boundary in Bering Strait; thence by great circle arc to the intersection of meridian 165ø East of Greenwich and parallel 50ø North; thence by great circle arc to the intersection of meridian 170ø West and parallel 10ø North; thence along parallel 10ø North to its intersection with meridian 120ø West; thence along meridian 120ø West to the South Pole. (c) Areas. To further assist in the international allocation of the radio spectrum, the ITU has established five special geographical areas and they are defined as follows: (1) The term "African Broadcasting Area" means: (i) African countries, parts of countries, territories and groups of territories situated between the parallels 40ø South and 30ø North; (ii) Islands in the Indian Ocean west of meridian 60ø East of Greenwich, situated between the parallel 40ø South and the great circle arc joining the points 45ø East, 11ø 30 North and 60ø East, 15ø North; and (iii) Islands in the Atlantic Ocean east of line B, situated between the parallels 40ø South and 30ø North. (2) The "European Broadcasting Area" is bounded on the west by the western boundary of Region 1, on the east by the meridian 40ø East of Greenwich and on the south by the parallel 30ø North so as to include the northern part of Saudi Arabia and that part of those countries bordering the Mediterranean within these limits. In addition, Iraq, Jordan and that part of the territory of Syria, Turkey and Ukraine lying outside the above limits are included in the European Broadcasting Area. (3) The "European Maritime Area" is bounded to the north by a line extending along parallel 72ø North from its intersection with meridian 55ø East of Greenwich to its intersection with meridian 5ø West, then along meridian 5ø West to its intersection with parallel 67ø North, thence along parallel 67ø North to its intersection with meridian 32ø West; to the west by a line extending along meridian 32ø West to its intersection with parallel 30ø North; to the south by a line extending along parallel 30ø North to its intersection with meridian 43ø East; to the east by a line extending along meridian 43ø East to its intersection with parallel 60ø North, thence along parallel 60ø North to its intersection with meridian 55ø East and thence along meridian 55ø East to its intersection with parallel 72ø North. (4) The "Tropical Zone" (see Figure 1 of this section) is defined as: (i) The whole of that area in Region 2 between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. (ii) The whole of that area in Regions 1 and 3 contained between the parallels 30ø North and 35ø South with the addition of: (A) The area contained between the meridians 40ø East and 80ø East of Greenwich and the parallels 30ø North and 40ø North; and (B) That part of Libya north of parallel 30ø North. (iii) In Region 2, the Tropical Zone may be extended to parallel 33ø North, subject to special agreements between the countries concerned in that Region. (5) A sub-Region is an area consisting of two or more countries in the same Region. (d) Categories of services and allocations (1) Primary and secondary services. Where, in a box of the International Table in  2.106, a band is indicated as allocated to more than one service, either on a worldwide or Regional basis, such services are listed in the following order: (i) Services the names of which are printed in "capitals" (example: FIXED); these are called "primary" services; and (ii) Services the names of which are printed in "normal characters" (example: Mobile); these are called "secondary" services (see paragraph (d)(3) of this section). (2) Additional remarks shall be printed in normal characters (example: MOBILE except aeronautical mobile). (3) Stations of a secondary service: (i) Shall not cause harmful interference to stations of primary services to which frequencies are already assigned or to which frequencies may be assigned at a later date; (ii) Cannot claim protection from harmful interference from stations of a primary service to which frequencies are already assigned or may be assigned at a later date; and (iii) Can claim protection, however, from harmful interference from stations of the same or other secondary service(s) to which frequencies may be assigned at a later date. (4) Where a band is indicated in a footnote of the International Table as allocated to a service "on a secondary basis" in an area smaller than a Region, or in a particular country, this is a secondary service (see paragraph (d)(3) of this section). (5) Where a band is indicated in a footnote of the International Table as allocated to a service "on a primary basis", in an area smaller than a Region, or in a particular country, this is a primary service only in that area or country. (e) Additional allocations. (1) Where a band is indicated in a footnote of the International Table as "also allocated" to a service in an area smaller than a Region, or in a particular country, this is an "additional" allocation, i.e. an allocation which is added in this area or in this country to the service or services which are indicated in the International Table. (2) If the footnote does not include any restriction on the service or services concerned apart from the restriction to operate only in a particular area or country, stations of this service or these services shall have equality of right to operate with stations of the other primary service or services indicated in the International Table. (3) If restrictions are imposed on an additional allocation in addition to the restriction to operate only in a particular area or country, this is indicated in the footnote of the International Table. (f) Alternative allocations. (1) Where a band is indicated in a footnote of the International Table as "allocated" to one or more services in an area smaller than a Region, or in a particular country, this is an "alternative" allocation, i.e. an allocation which replaces, in this area or in this country, the allocation indicated in the Table. (2) If the footnote does not include any restriction on stations of the service or services concerned, apart from the restriction to operate only in a particular area or country, these stations of such a service or services shall have an equality of right to operate with stations of the primary service or services, indicated in the International Table, to which the band is allocated in other areas or countries. (3) If restrictions are imposed on stations of a service to which an alternative allocation is made, in addition to the restriction to operate only in a particular country or area, this is indicated in the footnote. (g) Miscellaneous provisions. (1) Where it is indicated that a service may operate in a specific frequency band subject to not causing harmful interference, this means also that this service cannot claim protection from harmful interference caused by other services to which the band is allocated under Chapter SII of the international Radio Regulations. (2) Except if otherwise specified in a footnote, the term "fixed service", where appearing in the International Table, does not include systems using ionospheric scatter propagation. (h) Description of the International Table of Frequency Allocations. (1) The heading of the International Table includes three columns, each of which corresponds to one of the Regions (see paragraph (b) of this section). Where an allocation occupies the whole of the width of the Table or only one or two of the three columns, this is a worldwide allocation or a Regional allocation, respectively. (2) The frequency band referred to in each allocation is indicated in the left-hand top corner of the part of the Table concerned. (3) Within each of the categories specified in paragraph (d)(1) of this section, services are listed in alphabetical order according to the French language. The order of listing does not indicate relative priority within each category. (4) In the case where there is a parenthetical addition to an allocation in the International Table, that service allocation is restricted to the type of operation so indicated. (5) The footnote references which appear in the International Table below the allocated service or services apply to the whole of the allocation concerned. (6) The footnote references which appear to the right of the name of a service are applicable only to that particular service. (7) In certain cases, the names of countries appearing in the footnotes have been simplified in order to shorten the text. Figure 1 to  2.104 -- Map INSERT FIGURE 1 4. Section 2.105 is revised to read as follows.  2.105 United States Table of Frequency Allocations. (a) The United States Table of Frequency Allocations (United States Table) is subdivided into the Federal Government Table of Frequency Allocations (Federal Government Table, column 4 of  2.106) and the Non-Federal Government Table of Frequency Allocations (Non-Federal Government Table, column 5 of  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 (i.e., the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Caribbean insular areas and some of the Pacific insular areas). The Federal Government Table is administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), whereas the Non-Federal Government Table is administered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). (b) In the United States, radio spectrum may be allocated to either Federal government or non-Federal government 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 government FIXED, non-Federal government MOBILE]. The terms used to designate categories of services and allocations in columns 4 and 5 of  2.106 correspond to the terms employed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in the international Radio Regulations. (c) Category of services. (1) Any segment of the radio spectrum may be allocated to the Federal government and/or non-Federal government sectors either on an exclusive or shared basis for use by one or more radio services. In the case where an allocation has been made to more than one service, such services are listed in the following order: (i) Services, the names of which are printed in ``capitals'' [example: FIXED]; these are called "primary'' services; (ii) Services, the names of which are printed in ``normal characters'' [example: Mobile]; these are called "secondary'' services. (2) Stations of a secondary service: (i) Shall not cause harmful interference to stations of primary services to which frequencies are already assigned or to which frequencies may be assigned at a later date; (ii) Cannot claim protection from harmful interference from stations of a primary service to which frequencies are already assigned or may be assigned at a later date; and (iii) Can claim protection, however, from harmful interference from stations of the same or other secondary service(s) to which frequencies may be assigned at a later date. (d) Format of the United States Table and the Rule Part Cross Reference Column. (1) The frequency band referred to in each allocation, column 4 for Federal government and column 5 for non-Federal government, is indicated in the left-hand top corner of the column. If there is no service or footnote indicated for a band of frequencies in either column 4 or 5, then the Federal government or the non-Federal government sector, respectively, has no access to that band except as provided for by  2.102. (2) When the Federal Government and Non-Federal Government Tables are exactly the same for a shared band, the line between columns 4 and 5 is deleted and the allocations are shown once. (3) The Federal Government Table, given in column 4, is included for informational purposes only. (4) In the case where there is a parenthetical addition to an allocation in the United States Table [example: FIXED-SATELLITE (space-to-earth)], that service allocation is restricted to the type of operation so indicated. (5) The following symbols are used to designate footnotes in the United States Table: (i) Any footnote consisting of "S5." followed by one or more digits, e.g., S5.53, or any footnote not prefixed by a letter, e.g., 459, denotes an international footnote. Where an international footnote is applicable, without modification, to the United States Table, the footnote appears in the United States Table (columns 4 and 5) and denotes a stipulation affecting both the Federal Government Table and the Non-Federal Government Table. If, however, an international footnote pertains to a service allocated only for Federal government or non-Federal government use, the international footnote will be placed only in the affected Table. For example, "AMATEUR S5.142" shall be shown only in the Non-Federal Government Table. (ii) Any footnote consisting of the letters US followed by one or more digits, e.g., US7, denotes a stipulation affecting both the Federal Government Table and the Non-Federal Government Table. (iii) Any footnote consisting of the letters NG followed by one or more digits, e.g., NG2, denotes a stipulation applicable only to the Non-Federal Government Table (column 5). (iv) Any footnote consisting of the letter G following by one or more digits, e.g., G2, denotes a stipulation applicable only to the Federal Government Table (column 4). (6) If a frequency or frequency band has been allocated to a radiocommunication service in the Non-Federal Government Table, then a cross reference may be added for the pertinent FCC Rule part (column 6 of  2.106). For example, the 849-851 MHz band is allocated to the non-Federal government aeronautical mobile service, rules for the use of the 849-851 MHz band have been added to Part 22 -- Public Mobile Services, and a cross reference, Public Mobile (22), has been added in Column 6 of the Table. The exact use that can be made of any given frequency or frequency band (e.g., channelling plans, allowable emissions, etc.) is given in the FCC Rule part(s) so indicated. The FCC Rule parts in this column are not allocations and are provided for informational purposes only. This column also may contain explanatory notes for informational purposes only. 5. Section 2.106 is amended as follows: a. The Table proceeding the international footnotes is revised and shall begin on a left-hand page. b. The international footnote section is revised. c. United States footnotes US78, US221, US257, US296, US303, US311, US319, and US322 are revised. d. United States footnotes US272, US284, US326, and US341 are removed. e. The heading to the list of "Non-Government (NG) Footnotes" is revised. f. Non-Federal government footnotes NG47, NG102, NG120, NG124, NG128, and NG147 are revised. g.
