1. Footnote text

In the bands 51.4 - 54.25 GHz, 58.2 - 59 GHz and 64 - 65 GHz, radio astronomy observations may be carried out under national arrangements.


2. Comments from the Rules and Procedures

There is no allocation to radio astronomy in the bands listed in this provision. The Board concluded that the words "national arrangements" are referring to arrangements to be made in each country. These arrangements are not required to be communicated to the Bureau. Notifications of frequency assignments to radio astronomy stations in these bands will be considered by the Bureau not to be in conformity with the Table of Frequency Allocations.
