Specifically, the FCC stays the effectiveness of 47 CFR 90.209(b)(6), which provides that no new applications for the 150- 174 MHz and/or 421-512 MHz bands will be acceptable for filing if the applicant utilizes channels with a bandwidth exceeding 11.25 kHz beginning January 13, 2004, and no modification applications for stations in the 150-174 MHz and/or 421-512 MHz bands that increase the station's authorized interference contour will be acceptable for filing if the applicant utilizes channels with a bandwidth exceeding 11.25 kHz, beginning January 13, 2004. Consequently, the FCC will continue to accept and process such applications.
