§  90.525   Administration of interoperability channels.

   (a) States are responsible for administration of the Interoperability
   channels in the 769-775 MHz and 799-805 MHz frequency bands. Base and
   control stations must be licensed individually. A public safety entity
   meeting the requirements of §  90.523 may operate mobile or portable
   units on the Interoperability channels in the 769-775 MHz and 799-805
   MHz frequency bands without a specific authorization from the
   Commission provided it holds a part 90 license. All persons operating
   mobile or portable units under this authority are responsible for
   compliance with part 90 of these rules and other applicable federal
   laws.

   (b) License applications for Interoperability channels in the 769-775
   MHz and 799-805 MHz frequency bands must be approved by a state-level
   agency or organization responsible for administering state emergency
   communications. States may hold the licenses for Interoperability
   channels or approve other qualified entities to hold such licenses.
   States may delegate the approval process for interoperability channels
   to another entity, such as regional planning committees.
