                       TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION

PART 95--PERSONAL RADIO SERVICES--Table of Contents

             Subpart A--General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS)

Sec. 95.7  Channel sharing.

    (a) Channels or channel pairs (one 462 MHz frequency listed in
Sec. 95.29(a) of this part and one 467 MHz frequency listed in
Sec. 95.29(b) of this part) are available to GMRS systems only on a
shared basis and will not be assigned for the exclusive use of any
licensee. All station operators and GMRS system licensees must cooperate
in the selection and use of channels to reduce interference and to make
the most effective use of the facilities.
    (b) Licensees of GMRS systems suffering or causing harmful
interference are expected to cooperate and resolve this problem by
mutually satisfactory arrangements. If the licensees are unable to do
so, the FCC may impose restrictions including specifying the transmitter
power, antenna height, or area or hours of operation of the stations
concerned. Further, the use of any frequency at a given geographical
location may be denied when, in the judgment of the FCC, its use in that
location is not in the public interest; the use of any channel or
channel pair may be restricted as to specified geographical areas,
maximum power, or other operating conditions.
