Subpart B_Public Safety Radio Pool
Source: 62 FR 18845, Apr. 17, 1997, unless otherwise noted.
Sec. 90.15 Scope.
The Public Safety Radio Pool covers the licensing of the radio
communications of governmental entities and the following category of
activities: Medical services, rescue organizations, veterinarians,
persons with disabilities, disaster relief organizations, school buses,
beach patrols, establishments in isolated places, communications standby
facilities, and emergency repair of public communications facilities.
Entities not meeting these eligibility criteria may also be licensed in
the Public Safety Radio Pool solely to provide service to eligibles on
one-way paging-only frequencies below 800 MHz, i.e., those frequencies
with the assignment limitations appearing at Sec. 90.20(d)(13) or
(d)(60). Private carrier systems licensed on other channels prior to
June 1, 1990, may continue to provide radio communications service to
eligibles. Rules as to eligibility for licensing, frequencies available,
permissible communications and classes and number of stations, and any
special requirements are set forth in the following sections.
Sec. 90.16 Public Safety National Plan.
The Commission has established a National Plan which specifies
special policies and procedures governing the Public Safety Pool
(formally Public Safety Radio Services and the Special Emergency Radio
Service). The National Plan is contained in the Report and Order in
General Docket No. 87-112. The principal spectrum resource for the
National Plan is the 806-809 MHz and the 851-854 MHz bands at locations
farther then 110 km (68.4 miles) from the U.S./Mexico border and 140 km
(87 miles) from the U.S./Canadian border (``border regions''). In the
border regions, the principal spectrum for the National Plan may be
different. The National plan establishes planning regions covering all
parts of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. No
assignments will be made in the spectrum designated for the National
Plan until a regional plan for the area has been accepted by the
Commission.
[69 FR 67837, Nov. 22, 2004]
Sec. 90.18 Public Safety 700 MHz Nationwide Broadband Network.
The 763-768/793-798 MHz band is dedicated to a broadband public
safety communications system with a nationwide level of
interoperability. A nationwide license for this spectrum is held by a
single entity, the Public Safety Broadband Licensee, which must enter
into the 700 MHz Public/Private Partnership with the licensee of the
adjacent Upper 700 MHz D Block license, pursuant to a Network Sharing
Agreement and such other agreements as the Commission may require. The
specific provisions relating to the 700 MHz Public/Private Partnership
are set forth in subpart AA of this part and subpart N of part 27. The
Public Safety 700 MHz Nationwide Broadband Network is established in the
Second Report and Order in PS Docket No. 06-229.
Effective Date Note: At 72 FR 48859, Aug. 24, 2007, Sec. 90.18 was
added, effective October 23, 2007.

(xi) A communications common carrier operating communications
circuits that normally carry essential communication of such a nature
that their disruption would endanger life or public property is eligible
to hold authorizations for standby radio facilities for the transmission
of messages only during periods when the normal circuits are inoperative
due to circumstances beyond the control of the user. During such periods

authorization to operate a standby radio facility must include a
statement describing radio communication facilities desired, the
proposed method of operation, a description of the messages normally
being carried, and an explanation of how their disruption will endanger
life or public property.
(xii) Communications common carriers for radio facilities to be used
in effecting expeditious repairs to interruption of public
communications facilities where such interruptions have resulted in
disabling intercity circuits or service to a multiplicity of subscribers
in a general area. Stations authorized under this section may be used
only when no other means of communication is readily available, for the
transmission of messages relating to the safety of life and property and
messages which are necessary for the efficient restoration of the public
communication facilities which have been disrupted.
(xiii) Persons or entities engaged in the provision of basic or
advanced life support services on an ongoing basis are eligible to hold
authorization to operate stations for transmission of communications

shall be applied.
(a) Only police radio stations located close to the boundaries of
contiguous countries shall be allowed to exchange this information.
