§ 22.973   Information exchange.

   (a) Prior notification. Public safety/CII licensees may notify a part 90
   ESMR or cellular radiotelephone licensee that they wish to receive prior
   notification of the activation or modification of part 90 ESMR or cellular
   radiotelephone cell sites in their area. Thereafter, the part 90 ESMR or
   cellular radiotelephone licensee must provide the following information to
   the public safety/CII licensee at least 10 business days before a new cell
   site is activated or an existing cell site is modified:

   (1) Location;

   (2) Effective radiated power;

   (3) Antenna height;

   (4) Channels available for use.

   (b) Purpose of prior notification. The prior coordination of cell sites is
   for  informational  purposes only. Public safety/CII licensees are not
   afforded the right to accept or reject the activation of a proposed cell or
   to unilaterally require changes in its operating parameters. The principal
   purposes of notification are to:

   (1) Allow a public safety licensee to advise the part 90 of this chapter
   ESMR or Cellular Radiotelephone licensee whether it believes a proposed cell
   will generate unacceptable interference;

   (2) Permit Cellular Radiotelephone or part 90 of this chapter ESMR licensees
   to make voluntary changes in cell parameters when a public safety licensee
   alerts them to possible interference; and

   (3) Rapidly identify the source if interference is encountered when the cell
   is activated.
