Federal Communications Commission 47 CFR Parts 2, 73, 74, 80, 90 and 97 [ET Docket No. 02-16; FCC 02-27] AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission. ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: This document proposes to amend our rules in order to implement domestically various allocation decisions from International Telecommunication Union (“ITU”) World Radiocommunication Conferences concerning the frequency bands below 28000 kilohertz (“kHz”). The most significant of these proposals is to reallocate high frequency (“HF”) spectrum from the fixed and mobile services to the broadcasting service. We also propose to make various minor amendments to our U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations (“U.S. Table”) and to several of our service rules. In sum, the proposed actions would update our Rules for frequency bands below 28000 kHz so that they better comport with international regulations, would update various rule parts to effectuate the allocation changes, and would otherwise clean-up rules that have not recently been reviewed.
