## Abstract

In this document, the Commission amends its rules to establish operational, technical, and spectrum requirements for the use of the interoperability portion of the 700 MHz public safety band. On February 25, 2000, the Public Safety National Coordination Committee (NCC) released a report with recommendations on these matters. Following the NCC's report, the Commission issued a Fourth Notice of Proposed Rule Making in August 2000. These final rules are based on the NCC recommendations, and the comments the Commission received in response to those recommendations.
