Abstract: With this submission, the Commission eliminated Sections 90.168 and 90.425. The only remaining rule section in this ICR is 90.483. Section 90.483 requires when a frequency is shared by more than one system, automatic monitoring equipment must be installed at the base station to prevent activation of the transmitter when signals of co-channel stations are present and activation would interfere with communications in progress. Licensees may operate without this equipment if they have obtained the consent of all co-channel licensees located within a 120 kilometer (75 mile) radius of the interconnected base station transmitter. A statement must be submitted to the FCC indicating that all co-channel licensees have consented to operate without the monitoring equipment. The information is used by the FCC to ensure that licensees comply with the Commission's technical and operational duties.
