Abstract: 47 CFR Section 74.703(f) states that a licensee of a digital low power TV (LPTV) or TV translator station operating on a channel from 52-69 is required to eliminate at its expense any condition of interference caused to the operation of or services provided by existing and future commercial or public safety wireless licensees in the 700 MHz bands. 47 CFR Section 74.703(g) requires a wireless licensee in the 700 MHz band to notify a digital LPTV or TV translator operating on the same channel of its intention to initiate or change wireless operations and the likelihood of interference. 47 CFR Section 74.703(h) requires that a licensee shall submit a full report to the FCC containing details of the nature of interference, the source of the interfering signals and the remedial steps taken to eliminate the interference.
