# §22.973. Information exchange.

- (a) **Prior notification.** Public safety/CII licensees may notify a [part 90](/cfr/47/part90.md) ESMR or cellular radiotelephone licensee that they wish to receive prior notification of the activation or modification of [part 90](/cfr/47/part90.md) ESMR or cellular radiotelephone cell sites in their area. Thereafter, the [part 90](/cfr/47/part90.md) ESMR or cellular radiotelephone licensee must provide the following information to the public safety/CII licensee at least 10 business days before a new cell site is activated or an existing cell site is modified:
  - (1) Location;
  - (2) Effective radiated power;
  - (3) Antenna height;
  - (4) **Channels available for use.**
- (b) **Purpose of prior notification.** The prior coordination of cell sites is for informational purposes only. Public safety/CII licensees are not afforded the right to accept or reject the activation of a proposed cell or to unilaterally require changes in its operating parameters. The principal purposes of notification are to:
  - (1) Allow a public safety licensee to advise the [part 90](/cfr/47/part90.md) of this chapter ESMR or Cellular Radiotelephone licensee whether it believes a proposed cell will generate unacceptable interference;
  - (2) Permit Cellular Radiotelephone or [part 90](/cfr/47/part90.md) of this chapter ESMR licensees to make voluntary changes in cell parameters when a public safety licensee alerts them to possible interference; and
  - (3) **Rapidly identify the source if interference is encountered when the cell is activated.**
