acma | 3 Appendix C: Frequency audit table

The following table consists of three columns and describes current allocations and licensing of radiofrequency spectrum in Australia as at January 2011. It provides an indication of the current and possible future uses of radiofrequency spectrum. It should only be used for information purposes and not to be relied on as a definitive statement as to the future use of the spectrum.

This table is not to be used as authorisation to use the spectrum for any purpose.

The table consists of three columns: Column 1—Australian allocations—is taken directly from the 2009 Australian Radiofrequency Spectrum Plan (the Spectrum Plan). It specifies the purposes for which defined frequency ranges (bands) have been allocated or reserved in Australia. The Spectrum Plan provides the basis for management of the radiofrequency spectrum in Australia by the ACMA and is updated after each WRC. The Spectrum Plan lists allocations but it is not indicative of actual spectrum use. The primary allocations are in upper case and the secondary allocations are in lower case, indicating the priority of allocations in that band. References to the Australian footnotes and international footnotes from Article 5 of the ITU Radio Regulations are also provided. Only those footnotes that have a wide-ranging and significant impact on the use of spectrum in Australia are referred to in columns 2 and 3 of the table. The full detail of Australian and international spectrum allocations can be found in the Spectrum Plan.

Column 2—Regulatory provisions and current use—indicates the regulatory provisions and current uses of radiofrequency spectrum in Australia. It provides a description of the purposes for which the frequency band, or part of that band, are currently used. It contains relevant regulatory instruments for the band or part of the band, including legislative instruments such as frequency band plans, class licences and licence condition determinations (LCDs), along with administrative instruments such as radiocommunications assignment and licensing instructions (RALIs).1 As a signatory member of the ITU Convention, Australia is obliged to adhere to the ITU Radio Regulations, therefore changes to the Radio Regulations as a result of the World Radiocommunication Conference 2007 (WRC-07) are also highlighted. Column 2 also indicates, in general terms, the number and purposes of frequency assignments associated with licences that have been granted to users in that band. These are shown as ‘RRL’ entries, which refer to the Register of Radiocommunications Licences.2

RRL entries include either apparatus licensed stations, or device registrations under spectrum licences. It should be noted that they do not reflect class licensed usage, or all spectrum licensed usage of a band.3

acma | i Australian frequency audit table This table provides descriptive information only and should not be used as advice on frequency assignment rules or legal obligations.

Australian footnotes AUS1 and AUS9 of the Spectrum Plan designate certain bands for use principally for the purposes of defence. The ACMA usually consults the Department of Defence (Defence) in considering non-defence use of these bands. In a similar way, AUS11 identifies specific services which are intended to be used for the purposes of defence within certain bands. It is important to note that within these bands, Defence often holds ‘defence’ apparatus licences, which enables the operation of a number of stations, principally for the purposes of defence, anywhere within the licensed band. Therefore, RRL entries in AUS1, AUS9 and AUS11 bands may not accurately reflect the current usage of these bands.

Column 3—Comments—provides additional comments, where applicable, from the ACMA for information purposes only. This includes fundamental issues affecting spectrum requirements of key radiocommunications services in specific frequency bands, as outlined in the Five-year spectrum outlook 2011-2015 (the Outlook), along with the ACMA’s preliminary thinking on how to deal with such issues. As the policies of the government and the laws of the Commonwealth may change, these comments are indicative only and are not to be considered binding on the ACMA.

The frequency audit table now includes a number of bands formerly associated with the Australian footnote AUS62, which identifies bands that may be used in the future for the purposes of defence. In the frequency audit table, these bands are now identified by the footnote ‘F2’. See page 255 of this document and/or section 1.3 of the Outlook for more information. More detail on the comments in Column 3 can be found in the Outlook.

Unless otherwise specified in the class licence, the licences are effective from the day after that on which they are registered under the Legislative Instruments Act 2003. The ACMA has made the following class licences:

Embargoes—Spectrum embargoes are an administrative tool used to facilitate orderly spectrum planning. Embargoes provide notice of the ACMA’s intention to restrict the allocation of new licences in a band, pending its replanning. They also serve to alert industry to the start of a planning process.

RALI MS03—The ACMA's Radiocommunications Assignment and Licensing Instruction (RALI) MS03: Spectrum Embargoes provides the administrative policy basis for spectrum embargoes. RALI MS03 contains a list of all current and withdrawn embargoes.
