Sec. 73.622 Digital television table of allotments.
(a) General. The following table of allotments contains the digital
television (DTV) channel allotments designated for the listed
communities in the United States, its Territories, and possessions. The
initial DTV Table of Allotments was established on April 3, 1997, to
provide a second channel for DTV service for all eligible analog
television broadcasters. Requests for addition of new DTV allotments, or
requests to change the channels allotted to a community must be made in
a petition for rule making to amend the DTV Table of Allotments. A
request to amend the DTV table to change the channel of an allotment in
the DTV table will be evaluated for technical acceptability using
engineering criteria set forth in Sec. 73.623(c). A request to amend the
DTV table to add a new allotment will be evaluated for technical
acceptability using the geographic spacing criteria set forth in
Sec. 73.623(d). DTV allotments designated with an asterisk are assigned
for use by non-commercial educational broadcast stations only. Stations
operating on DTV allotments designated with a ``c'' are required to
comply with paragraph (g) of this section.
(1) Petitions requesting the addition of a new allotment must
specify a channel in the range of channels 2-51.
(2) Petitions requesting a change in the channel of an initial
allotment must specify a channel in the range of channels 2-59.
(b) DTV Table of Allotments.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) Availability of channels. Applications may be filed to construct
DTV broadcast stations only on the channels designated in the DTV Table
of Allotments set forth in paragraph (b) of this section, and only in
the communities listed therein. Applications that fail to comply with
this requirement, whether or not accompanied by a petition to amend the
DTV Table, will not be accepted for filing. However, applications
specifying channels that accord with publicly announced FCC Orders
changing the DTV Table of Allotments will be accepted for filing even if
such applications are tendered before the effective dates of such
channel change. An application for authority to construct a DTV station
on an allotment in the initial DTV table may only be filed by the
licensee or permittee of the analog TV station with which that initial
allotment is paired, as set forth in Appendix B of the Sixth Report and
Order in MM Docket 87-268, FCC 97-115, adopted April 3, 1997. Copies of
the Sixth Report and Order may be inspected during normal business hours
at the: Federal Communications Commission, 1919 M St., NW., Dockets
Branch (Room 239), Washington, DC 20554. This document is also available
through the Internet on the FCC Home Page at http://www.fcc.gov.
Applications may also be filed to implement an exchange of channel
allotments between two or more licensees or permittees of analog TV
stations in the same community, provided, however, that the other
requirements of this section and of Sec. 73.623 are met with respect to
each such application.
(d) Reference points and distance computations. (1) The reference
coordinates of a DTV allotment included in the initial DTV Table of
Allotments are the coordinates of the authorized transmitting antenna
site of the analog TV station with which that initial allotment is
paired, as set forth in Appendix B of the Sixth Report and Order in MM
Docket 87-268 (referenced in paragraph (c) of this section). An
application for authority to construct or modify DTV facilities may
specify an alternate location for the DTV transmitting antenna that is
within 5 kilometers of the DTV allotment reference coordinates without
consideration of electromagnetic interference to other DTV or analog TV
broadcast stations, allotments or
[[Page 186]]
applications, provided the application complies with paragraph (f)(2) of
this section. Location of a DTV broadcast station's transmitting antenna
at a site more than 5 kilometers from the DTV allotment reference
coordinates must comply with the provisions of Sec. 73.623(c). In the
case where a DTV station has been granted authority to construct more
than 5 kilometers from its reference coordinates pursuant to
Sec. 73.623(c), and its authorized coverage area extends in any
azimuthal direction beyond the DTV coverage area determined for the DTV
allotment reference facilities, then the coordinates of such authorized
site are to be used in addition to the coordinates of the DTV allotment
to determine protection from new DTV allotments pursuant to
Sec. 73.623(d) and from subsequent DTV applications filed pursuant to
Sec. 73.623(c).
(2) The reference coordinates of a DTV allotment not included in the
initial DTV Table of Allotments will be designated in the FCC Order
changing the DTV Table of Allotments and must meet the geographic
spacing requirements of Sec. 73.623(d). An application for authority to
construct or modify such DTV facilities must comply with the provisions
of Sec. 73.623(c). In the case where such a DTV station has been granted
authority to construct pursuant to Sec. 73.623(c) and its authorized
coverage area extends in any azimuthal direction beyond the DTV coverage
area determined for the DTV allotment reference facilities, then the
coordinates of such authorized site are to be used in addition to the
coordinates of the DTV allotment to determine protection from new DTV
allotments pursuant to Sec. 73.623(d) and from subsequent DTV
applications filed pursuant to Sec. 73.623(c).
(3) The reference coordinates defined in paragraphs (d)(1) and
(d)(2) of this section shall be used in considering petitions to amend
the DTV Table of Allotments and in determining whether interference
occurs between DTV stations and between DTV and analog TV stations.
(4) In cases where there are pending applications for DTV stations
in other communities which, if granted, would have to be considered in
determining whether proposed or modified stations would meet the
required technical criteria or separations, as defined in Sec. 73.623,
the coordinates of the transmitter sites proposed in such applications
must be used to determine whether those requirements have been met.
(5) To calculate the distance between two reference points, see
Sec. 73.208(c). However, distances shall be rounded to the nearest tenth
of a kilometer.
(e) DTV Service Areas. The service area of a DTV station is the
geographic area within which the predicted F(50,90) field strength of
the station's signal, in dB above 1 microvolt per meter (dBu), exceeds
the following levels:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
dBu
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Channels 2-6................................................... 28
Channels 7-13.................................................. 36
Channels 14-69................................................. 41
------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the levels at which reception of DTV service is limited by
noise. Evaluation of field strength in determining service areas shall
be made using the terrain dependent Longley-Rice point-to-point
propagation model. Guidance for evaluating coverage areas using the
Longley-Rice methodology is provided in OET Bulletin No. 69. Copies of
OET Bulletin No. 69 may be inspected during normal business hours at
the: Federal Communications Commission, 1919 M St., NW., Dockets Branch
(Room 239), Washington, DC 20554. This document is also available
through the Internet on the FCC Home Page at http://www.fcc.gov.
(f) DTV maximum power and antenna heights. (1) The maximum effective
radiated power (ERP) and antenna height above average terrain (HAAT) for
an allotment included in the initial DTV Table of Allotments are set
forth in Appendix B of the Sixth Report and Order in MM Docket 87-268
(referenced in paragraph (c) of this section). These limits also appear
on the construction permit and license issued for each DTV station. In
each azimuthal direction, the reference ERP value is based on the HAAT
of the corresponding analog TV station and achieving predicted coverage
equal to that analog TV station's predicted Grade B contour, as defined
in Sec. 73.683.
[[Page 187]]
(2) An application for authority to construct or modify DTV
facilities will not be subject to further consideration of
electromagnetic interference to other DTV or analog TV broadcast
stations, allotments or applications, provided that:
(i) The proposed ERP in each azimuthal direction is equal to or less
than the reference ERP in that direction; and
(ii) The proposed HAAT is equal to or less than the reference HAAT;
and
(iii) The application complies with the location provisions in
paragraph (d)(1) of this section.
(3) DTV licensees and permittees may request an increase in either
ERP in some azimuthal direction or HAAT, or both, that exceed the
initial technical facilities specified for the allotment in Appendix B
the Sixth Report and Order, up to the maximum permissible limits on DTV
power and antenna height set forth in this section or up to that needed
to provide the same geographic coverage area as the largest station
within their market. Such requests must be accompanied by a technical
showing that the increase complies with the technical criteria in
Sec. 73.623(c), and thereby will not result in new interference, or
statements agreeing to the change from any co-channel or adjacent
channel stations that might be affected by potential new interference.
In the case where a DTV station has been granted authority to construct
pursuant to Sec. 73.623(c), and its authorized coverage area extends in
any azimuthal direction beyond the DTV coverage area determined for the
DTV allotment reference facilities, then the authorized DTV facilities
are to be used in addition to the assumed facilities of the initial DTV
allotment to determine protection from new DTV allotments pursuant to
Sec. 73.623(d) and from subsequent DTV applications filed pursuant to
Sec. 73.623(c).
(4) A DTV station that operates on a channel 2-6 allotment created
subsequent to the initial DTV Table will be allowed a maximum ERP of 10
kW if its antenna HAAT is at or below 305 meters and it is located in
Zone I or a maximum ERP of 45 kW if its antenna HAAT is at or below 305
meters and it is located in Zone II or Zone III.
(i) At higher HAAT levels, such DTV stations will be allowed to
operate with lower maximum ERP levels in accordance with the following
table and formulas:
Maximum Allowable ERP and Antenna Height for DTV Stations in Zones
II or III on Channels 2-6
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERP
Antenna HAAT (meters) (kW)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
610............................................................ 10
580............................................................ 11
550............................................................ 12

395............................................................ 26
365............................................................ 31
335............................................................ 37
305............................................................ 45
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(ii) The allowable maximum ERP for intermediate values of HAAT is
determined using linear interpolation based on the units employed in the
table. For DTV stations located in Zone I that operate on channels 2-6
with an HAAT that exceeds 305 meters, the allowable maximum ERP
expressed in decibels above 1 kW (dBk) is determined using the following
formula, with HAAT expressed in meters:
ERPmax=92.57-33.24*log10(HAAT)
(iii) For DTV stations located in Zone II or III that operate on
channels 2-6 with an HAAT that exceeds 610 meters, the allowable maximum
ERP expressed in decibels above 1 kW (dBk) is determined using the
following formula, with HAAT expressed in meters:
ERPmax=57.57-17.08*log10(HAAT)
(5) A DTV station that operates on a channel 7-13 allotment created
subsequent to the initial DTV Table will be allowed a maximum ERP of 30
kW if its antenna HAAT is at or below 305 meters and it is located in
Zone I or a maximum ERP of 160 kW if its antenna HAAT is at or below 305
meters and it is located in Zone II or Zone III.
(i) At higher HAAT levels, such DTV stations will be allowed to
operate with lower maximum ERP levels in accordance with the following
table and formulas:
[[Page 188]]
Maximum Allowable ERP and Antenna Height for DTV Stations in Zones
II or III on Channels 7-13
------------------------------------------------------------------------

365............................................................ 110
335............................................................ 132
305............................................................ 160
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(ii) The allowable maximum ERP for intermediate values of HAAT is
determined using linear interpolation based on the units employed in the
table. For DTV stations located in Zone I that operate on channels 7-13
with an HAAT that exceeds 305 meters, the allowable maximum ERP
expressed in decibels above 1 kW (dBk) is determined using the following
formula, with HAAT expressed in meters:
ERPmax=97.35-33.24*log10(HAAT)
(iii) For DTV stations located in Zone II or III that operate on
channels 7-13 with an HAAT that exceeds 610 meters, the allowable
maximum ERP expressed in decibels above 1 kW (dBk) is determined using
the following formula, with HAAT expressed in meters:
ERPmax=62.34-17.08*log10(HAAT)
(6) A DTV station that operates on a channel 14-59 allotment created
subsequent to the initial DTV Table will be allowed a maximum ERP of
1000 kW if their antenna HAAT is at or below 365 meters.
(i) At higher HAAT levels, such DTV stations will be allowed to
operate with lower maximum ERP levels in accordance with the following
table and formulas:
Maximum Allowable ERP and Antenna Height for DTV Stations on Channels 14-
59, All Zones
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERP
Antenna HAAT (meters) (kW)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
610............................................................ 316
580............................................................ 350
550............................................................ 400
520............................................................ 460
490............................................................ 540
460............................................................ 630
425............................................................ 750
395............................................................ 900
365............................................................ 1000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(ii) The allowable maximum ERP for intermediate values of HAAT is
determined using linear interpolation based on the units employed in the
table. For DTV stations located in Zone I, II or III that operate on
channels 14-59 with an HAAT that exceeds 610 meters, the allowable
maximum ERP expressed in decibels above 1 kW (dBk) is determined using
the following formula, with HAAT expressed in meters:
ERPmax=72.57-17.08*log10(HAAT)
(g) For DTV stations using a channel allotment designated with a
``c'' in paragraph (b) of this section, the pilot carrier frequency of
the DTV signal must be maintained 5.082138 MHz above the visual carrier
frequency of the analog TV broadcast station operating on the lower
adjacent channel, located within 88 kilometers of the DTV broadcast
station. This frequency difference must be maintained within a tolerance
of 3 Hz.
(h)(1) The field strength or voltage of emissions on frequencies
outside the authorized channel of operation must be attenuated no less
than the following amounts below the average transmitted power within
the authorized channel. At the channel edge, emissions must be
attenuated no less than 46 dB. More than 6 MHz from the channel edge,
emissions must be attenuated no less than 71 dB. At any frequency
between 0 and 6 MHz from the channel edge, emissions must be attenuated
no less than the value determined by the following formula:
Attenuation in dB=46+[(f)2/1.44];
Where:
f=frequency difference in MHz from the edge of the channel.
(2) This attenuation is based on a measurement bandwidth of 500 kHz.
Other measurement bandwidths may be used as long as appropriate
correction
[[Page 189]]
factors are applied. Emissions include sidebands, spurious emissions and
radio frequency harmonics. Attenuation is to be measured at the output
terminals of the transmitter (including any filters that may be
employed). In the event of interference caused to any service, greater
attenuation may be required.
Note to paragraph (h): Greater attenuation may be required for
situations where the DTV station and an adjacent channel analog TV
station serve the same area and there are expected to be locations
within that shared area where the analog TV station's field strength is
less than 12 dB above the DTV station's field strength.
