FCC Bandplan

This resource presents the FCC Online Table of Frequency Allocations, codified under 47 C.F.R. § 2.106. The document details frequency assignments across the electromagnetic spectrum, from 0 kHz to beyond 2170 MHz, specifying allocations for various radio services including amateur, maritime mobile, aeronautical radionavigation, and broadcasting. The table is structured with columns for International Table (ITU Radio Regulations Article 5, Section IV, 2019 Edition), United States Table (Federal and Non-Federal), and corresponding FCC Rule Part(s). Specific frequency ranges, such as 135.7-137.8 kHz and 472-479 kHz, are identified with their primary and secondary allocations, including Amateur Radio (Part 97) and Maritime Mobile (Part 80).

The methodology involves direct publication of regulatory data, reflecting amendments adopted by the FCC that may not yet be codified in the Code of Federal Regulations. Each entry provides the allocated service (e.g., METEOROLOGICAL AIDS, RADIONAVIGATION), relevant footnotes (e.g., 5.53, US18), and the applicable FCC Rule Part. For example, the 1800-2000 kHz range is allocated to AMATEUR radio under Part 97, alongside MOBILE services. Contact information for the Office of Engineering and Technology Policy and Rules Division is provided for inquiries regarding the data.
