  §  95.309   Coordination procedures and other restrictions for operation in
certain locations.

   The operator of a Personal Radio Service station may be required to
   coordinate operation in advance and/or may be subject to operating
   restrictions if the station is to be operated in certain locations,
   described in the following paragraphs in this section.

   (a) In a Quiet Zone or near a protected FCC field office. Rules for
   these locations are set forth in § 1.924 of this chapter.

   (b) Near a U.S. border or in an area that is or may be subject to an
   international treaty or agreement. Treaties and agreements may be
   viewed or downloaded from the FCC Web site:
   http://www.fcc.gov/ib/sand/agree/.

   (c) At an environmentally sensitive site, or in a manner that may raise
   environmental concerns. Rules for these locations are set forth in part
   1, subpart I of this chapter (Procedures Implementing the National
   Environmental Policy Act of 1969).

   (d) In an area administered by the United States Government. For
   example, the Department of Defense may impose restrictions on a station
   transmitting on land under its jurisdiction. Before operating a station
   at such a point, the operator should consult with the commanding
   officer in charge of the land.

   (e) Near the Arecibo Observatory. Anyone planning to operate a Personal
   Radio Services station on the islands of Puerto Rico, Desecheo, Mona,
   Vieques, or Culebra in a manner that could pose an interference threat
   to the Arecibo Observatory must notify the observatory at least 45 days
   in advance of the planned operation, by mail or email, to the following
   address: Interference Office, Arecibo Observatory, HC3 Box 53995,
   Arecibo, Puerto Rico 00612; email: prcz@naic.edu.

   (1) To determine whether a planned operation could pose an interference
   threat to the Arecibo Observatory, operators may consult interference
   guidelines provided by Cornell University.

   (2) The notification must include the geographical coordinates of the
   station, if it is a fixed or base station.

   (3) After receipt of such notifications, the FCC will allow the Arecibo
   Observatory 20 days to comment on or object to the proposed operation.
   The operator must make reasonable efforts to resolve or mitigate any
   potential interference concern with the Arecibo Observatory. If the FCC
   determines that an operator has made reasonable efforts to protect the
   Observatory from interference, the operator may be allowed to operate
   the station.
