§343 Conditions on commercial terrestrial operations

Summary

The Commission may not allow commercial terrestrial operations in the 1525–1559 MHz band or the 1626.5–1660.5 MHz band until 90 days after it has addressed and fixed concerns that those operations would cause widespread harmful interference to covered GPS devices. When the Commission finishes its decision, it must send official copies of the final decision to these congressional committees: House Committee on Energy and Commerce; House Committee on Armed Services; Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation; and Senate Committee on Armed Services. If the decision permits the operations, the documents must explain how the interference concerns were resolved. Covered GPS device: a Global Positioning System device of the Department of Defense.
