Notice No. DGTP-010-00 — Revisions to the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations

This notice announces the release of revisions to the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations. Proposals to amend the Canadian Table were made in Notice No. DGTP-008-00 — Proposed Revisions to the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations, published in the Canada Gazette on July 22, 2000, and were based upon decisions adopted by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) at the World Radio Conference 1997 (WRC-97). In response to these proposals, comments were received from the public and considered in arriving at the final decisions.

The Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations allocates frequency bands to radio services within the scope of the International Table and as required to meet Canadian needs. Canadian footnotes provide the particular provisions and conditions for use of those radio services in Canada. The revisions incorporated into the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations by this notice reflect the results of the consultation initiated by the Notice No. DGTP-008-00 in the Canada Gazette and the results of other domestic decisions taken since the Canadian Table was last revised in 1998.

The revised Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations is available electronically on the Internet at the following address:
