Note 2 Other levels of interference protection are, or may be, provided for under the Act.

Note 1 A service to which this Spectrum Plan applies may not claim protection from harmful interference caused by a situation, or an activity, that is exempt, under Division 4 of Part 1.4 of the Act, from the operation of the Act.

(4) The secondary service cannot claim protection from harmful interference caused by a primary service using the frequency band, including a primary service that starts to use the frequency band after the secondary service starts.

(3) The secondary service must not cause harmful interference to a situation, or an activity, that is exempt, under Division 4 of Part 1.4 of the Act, from the operation of the Act.

(2) The secondary service must not cause harmful interference to a primary service using the frequency band, including a primary service that starts to use the frequency band after the secondary service starts.

(4) If a frequency band is used by a service otherwise than in accordance with the Radio Regulations, the use of the frequency band by the service must not cause harmful interference to a transmitter or radiocommunications receiver, mentioned in subsection 23 (2) or (3) of the Act, operating in accordance with the Radio Regulations.

Note As well as subsection 11 (3), the Radio Regulations set out requirements for the coordination or notification of services mentioned in those regulations.

(3) If a frequency band is used by a service otherwise than in accordance with the Radio Regulations, the use of the frequency band by the service must not cause harmful interference to a station outside Australia operating in accordance with the Radio Regulations.

(2) If this Spectrum Plan provides that a service that uses a frequency band may not claim protection from harmful interference caused by another service, the first‑mentioned service must not cause harmful interference to the second‑mentioned service.

Note This requirement appears in section 10 and some footnotes to the Table in Parts 3 and 4.

(1) If this Spectrum Plan provides that the use of a frequency band by a service must not cause harmful interference to another service, the first‑mentioned service may not claim protection from harmful interference caused by the second‑mentioned service.

(9) A frequency band may be used by an earth receive station in a frequency band allocated for the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth) where that station is in motion, or in a stationary position at an unspecified point on land, on water or in the air.

(8) A frequency band may be used for a radio astronomy service if provision is made for that use in a frequency band plan.

(7) A frequency band may be used for an unspecified service if the use of the service is in the public interest for defence or national security.

Note It is the intention of the ACMA that a frequency band used, in accordance with subsection 10 (3), for a broadcasting service will be subject to the conditions that would apply to a specified service.

(3) If a frequency band may be used, in accordance with section 8, by a fixed service or a mobile service, the frequency band may also be used for a broadcasting service that is an unspecified service.

Under paragraph 10 (2) (b), the radiodetermination function of the space station could also be used to track an animal or vehicle carrying a transmitter. The use of this transmitter would also be permitted under paragraph 10 (2) (b).

Under paragraph 10 (2) (a) the space station may also be used for radiodetermination of the positions of the buoys, although this would not be a specified service for the space station.

In column 2 of the Table, a frequency band is allocated to the meteorological‑satellite service. A space station in the meteorological‑satellite service uses that frequency band and receives meteorological information from buoys. This is the major usage of the station.

(1) A frequency band may be used for an unspecified service if the unspecified service uses the frequency band to support a specified service.

(b) is not consistent with a service specified in column 2 of the Table for the frequency band.

Note A frequency band plan must not be inconsistent with the Spectrum Plan (see subsection 32 (3) of the Act).

If a frequency band is part of a frequency band plan, the frequency band must be used only:

A service operating under a spectrum licence is taken to be a primary service unless the spectrum licence specifies that it is a secondary service.

If a frequency band is specified, in column 2 of the Table, for a primary service, the frequency band may also be specified for a secondary service in a frequency band plan.

(5) If a reference to a primary or secondary service in column 2 of the Table is immediately followed by words in parentheses describing an operational restriction, the service is restricted accordingly.

Note Services are listed in the Table in an order consistent with the Radio Regulations. They are not listed to suggest any order of priority.

This means that an aeronautical mobile (R) service is not part of the secondary mobile service.

(4) If the expression is followed by words in lower case letters that describe a limitation, the secondary service is limited in the manner described in the limitation.

(3) A secondary service in a frequency band mentioned in column 2 of the Table is described by:
