§  95.7   Channel sharing.

   (a) Channels or channel pairs (one 462 MHz frequency listed in
   §  95.29(a) of this part and one 467 MHz frequency listed in
   §  95.29(b) of this part) are available to GMRS systems only on a
   shared basis and will not be assigned for the exclusive use of any
   licensee. All station operators and GMRS system licensees must
   cooperate in the selection and use of channels to reduce interference
   and to make the most effective use of the facilities.

   (b) Licensees of GMRS systems suffering or causing harmful interference
   are expected to cooperate and resolve this problem by mutually
   satisfactory arrangements. If the licensees are unable to do so, the
   FCC may impose restrictions including specifying the transmitter power,
   antenna height, or area or hours of operation of the stations
   concerned. Further, the use of any frequency at a given geographical
   location may be denied when, in the judgment of the FCC, its use in
   that location is not in the public interest; the use of any channel or
   channel pair may be restricted as to specified geographical areas,
   maximum power, or other operating conditions.
