1 8 0 0 -2 0 0 0 KC.

At a session of the Federal Communi cations Commission held at its offices in Washington, D. C., on the 17th day of February 1949.
The Commission having before it the matter of amending Part 2 of its rules in order to show a change in the United States service allocation or the fre quency band 1800-2000 kc;
It appearing that, during and since 1941 the frequency band 1800-2000 kc 1 F iled as p art o f th e origin al d ocu m ent.

has been allocated for the United States exclusively to the amateur service and is shown as so allocated in the Commis sions rules at this time; and It further appearing that since the outbreak of hostilities directly involving the United States in 1941 the amateur service has not been permitted to oper ate within the band 1800-2000 kc and, because that band has not yet been re activated, is not permitted to do so at this time; and It further appearing that since 1943
this band has been used by the United States exclusively for the operation of the United States government Loran stations; and It further appearing that, during and after 1945 the Commission by its public announcements in connection with its proceedings in Docket 6651 and in other connections indicated its purpose of supporting an international service allo cation of -this band to navigation aids, subsequently partly in response to the requests and recommendations of per sons and organizations representing the amateur service changed to include also the amateur, fixed, and mobile serv ices and further changed to show that Loran was the particular system of navi gation aid contemplated by the United States for operation under such a serv ice allocation; and It further appearing that, the con tinued present and future operation free from harmful interference of United States government Loran stations is es sential to the national security and, therefore, is in the public interest and necessity; and It further appearing that, after due consideration, it has been concluded that the amateur service is the only radio service which, in the light of the na tional security interest involved, it is feasible for the United States to permit to share this band on the basis of non interference to Loran i and It further appearing that, in view of the national security interest involved, the only feasible basis upon which the amateur service may be permitted to share the use of this band with Loran stations is in accordance with such a plan as may be formulated from time to time by the Interdepartment Radio Ad visory Committee and the Commission and that an initial plan to this effect has been formulated; and It further appearing that, in view of the foregoing considerations, it is in the public interest and necessity that the United States service allocation of the frequency band 1800-2000 kc be changed to provide for the operation of United States government Loran stations and stations in the amateur service as herein Indicated; and It further appearing that, in view of the national security interest involved, - it would be contrary to the public inter est to deal with the reallocation of this band in accordance with the public no tice and procedure for proposed rule making provided by the Administrative Procedure Act and, therefore, that such public notice and procedure are not re quired in this instance; and
It further appearing that, for the rea sons set forth above and also because the effect of this reallocation ultimately will be to permit a degree of actual use of this band by the amateur service which is not now possible, thereby relieving an existing restriction, this reallocation should be made effective immediately;
and It further appearing that, legal au thority for the reallocation described herein is vested in the Commission un-
der sections 301, 303 a, b, c, d, e, f, g, o, and r of the Com munications Act of 1934, as amended, and Article 7 of the General Radio Reg ulations Cairo Revision, 1938 :
It is ordered, That 2.104 a of Part 2 of the Commissions rules is amended to show that the United States service allocation of th frequency band 18002000-kc is as follows:
