spectrum at 216-220 MHz, 1390-1395 MHz, 1427-1429 MHz, 1429-1432 MHz, 1670-1675 MHz and 2385-2390 MHz. In its response, the FCC: (1) Declined to impose coordination procedures on the 1432-1435 MHz band licensees that operated within 100 miles of 1435-1525 MHz flight test sites. (2) Instructed the American Hospital Assn.’s American Society of Health Care Engineering (ASHE) and the Land Mobile Communications Council to present a joint coordination plan for the 1427-1432 MHz band, which is used by the wireless medical telemetry service and site-based nonmedical telemetry, within one year. (3) Declined to require that each 1392-1395 MHz band station register with the ASHE upon launching operation, saying that such a requirement would run counter to the regulatory flexibility that came with a geographic area license. (4) Changed the channel plans in the original order for the 217-220 MHz and 1427-1432 MHz bands to allow licensees to use 25 kHz or 50 kHz bandwidths with center frequencies that reached certain revised accuracy points. The Commission said the original reallocation decision had made allocation of 1390-1392 MHz and 1430-1432 MHz to nongeosynchronous satellite orbit mobile satellite service feeder links contingent on a decision at the World Radio Conference in 2003. The FCC said that the WRC approved a decision to make a secondary allocation for NGSO MSS feeder uplinks and downlinks in that spectrum. The international allocation is based on the completion of compatibility studies. The FCC reiterated that terrestrial and satellite sharing rules were to be addressed in a separate proceeding for that band.
