1998 Biennial Regulatory ReviewPrivate Land Mobile Radio Services

This document proposes several amendments to the Commission's Rules as part of its 1998 biennial review of regulations. Additionally, this document addresses certain rules regarding extended implementation periods for public safety licensees, and an ex parte filing in the Commission's Refarming Proceeding, PR Docket No. 92-235, regarding trunking on frequencies in the bands between 150 and 512 MHz. This document proposes various rule changes applicable to the Private Land Mobile Radio Services that will either simplify and upgrade part 90 and/or be deregulatory in nature. The proposed rules will reduce the regulatory burden on licensees, and will promote more efficient and flexible use of the private land mobile radio frequency spectrum.
