## Abstract

In this document, the Commission finalizes various technical and operational rules and policies regarding use of public safety frequencies in the 764-776 MHz and 794-806 MHz bands designated for narrowband Interoperability uses. ("Interoperability" is used here to mean an essential communications link within public safety and public service wireless communications systems which permits units from two or more different entities to interact with one another and to exchange information according to a prescribed method in order to achieve predictable results.) This action follows the recommendation of the Public Safety National Coordination Committee (NCC). Also, in this document the Commission addresses petitions for reconsideration or clarification of the Fourth Report and Order. Finally the Commission considers on its own motion several matters prompted by these petitions and other filings. These Commission actions will facilitate public safety Interoperability capabilities in the 700 MHz Band.
