Sec. 22.415  Developmental authorization of 928-960 MHz fixed 
          transmitters.

    Channels in the 928-929 MHz and 952-960 MHz ranges may be assigned 
under developmental authorizations to fixed transmitters in point-to-
multipoint systems at locations that are short-spaced (i.e. do not meet 
the 113 kilometer (70 mile) separation requirement of Sec. 22.625), 
subject to the requirements of this section.
    (a) Carrier responsibility. Applications for developmental 
authorizations pursuant to this section must contain an engineering 
analysis that shows that no interference will be caused or received. 
Carriers so authorized shall operate the short-spaced transmitter for a 
period of one year.
    (b) Exceptions. The FCC may grant a regular authorization in the 
Paging and Radiotelephone Service for a short-spaced fixed station under 
the following circumstances:
    (1) After one year of operation under developmental authorization, 
and provided that no interference has been caused, the FCC may grant a 
regular authorization. Licensees that hold a developmental authorization 
and wish to request a regular authorization must file an application 
(FCC Form 600) prior to the expiration of the developmental 
authorization.
    (2) In the case of the assignment of or a transfer of control of a 
regular authorization of a short-spaced fixed station in the Paging and 
Radiotelephone Service, the FCC may grant such assignment or consent to 
such transfer of control provided that the station has been in 
continuous operation providing service and no interference has been 
caused.
