This collection includes rules to
govern the future operation and licensing of the 220-222 MHz Band
(220 MHz Service). In establishing this licensing plan, the FCC's
goal is to establish a flexible regulatory framework that allows
for efficient licensing of the 220 MHz service, eliminates
unnecessary regulatory burdens, and enhances the competitive
potential of the 220 MHz service in the mobile service marketplace.
However, as with any licensing and operational plan for a radio
service, a certain number of regulatory and informational burdens
are necessary to verify licensee compliance with FCC
rules.
