§ 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.
