WhyBefore transmitting on the 630 meter or 2200 meter band, an operator must notify the Utilities Technology Council of their call sign and station coordinates. §97.303(g) requires an operator to notify the Utilities Technology Council of their call sign and station coordinates before transmitting on the 630-meter or 2200-meter band, since those bands are shared with power line carrier systems that the UTC coordinates on behalf of utility companies, answer D. No special FCC endorsement, Interior Department environmental filing, or FAA notification is part of this particular requirement.
