FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION;
RADAR UNIT LICENSING AMENDED (PART 90)
The Commission has eliminated a requirement for local
governmental entities licensed in the Public Safety Radio
Services to obtain a separate authorization for radar speed
detection devices.
This change will reduce paperwork for the Commission's
licensing staff and for police and other local government
units, which will no longer have to apply for new radar
authorizations or modify or renew existing licenses and
may operate speed detection devices as part of their
base/mobile communications systems.
To provide the Commission with a record of such units in
use, licensees will be required to list the number of speed
detection units and the frequencies on which they operate
at the time of renewal of their land mobile authorizations.
Ordinarily, this would be once every five years and
would not be a significant addition to the renewal
process, the Commission noted.
This action became effective February 1, 1983.
