§  73.513   Noncommercial educational FM stations operating on unreserved
channels.

   (a) Noncommercial educational FM stations other than Class D
   (secondary) which operate on Channels 221 through 300 but which comply
   with §  73.503 as to licensing requirements and the nature of the
   service rendered, must comply with the provisions of the following
   sections of subpart B: § §  73.201 through 73.213 (Classification of FM
   Broadcast Stations and Allocations of Frequencies) and such other
   sections of subpart B as are made specially applicable by the
   provisions of this subpart C. Stations in Alaska authorized before
   August 11, 1982, using Channels 261-300 need not meet the minimum
   effective radiated power requirement specified in §  73.211(a). In all
   other respects, stations operating on Channels 221 through 300 are to
   be governed by the provisions of this subpart and not subpart B.

   (b) When a noncommercial educational applicant is among mutually
   exclusive applications for an unreserved FM channel, the mutually
   exclusive applications will be considered pursuant to Subpart
   I--Competitive Bidding Procedures and not Subpart K--Application and
   Selection Procedures On Reserved Noncommercial Educational Channels.
