The FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau has issued a Public Notice announcing the reinstatement of the freeze on the filing of new non-rebanding related 800 MHz applications along the U.S.-Canada border until the earlier of: 1.) April 14, 2011 or 2.) the date on which the Bureau determines that accepting non-rebanding applicatons in a specific NPSPAC region will have no negative impact on rebanding. The PN notes that the reinstatement of the freeze on non-rebanding applications is needed to preserve vacant channels for licensees operating along the U.S.-Canada border that are still retuning their systems. The reinstuted freeze is applicable to a limited number of NPSPAC regions including: New England, Michigan, Eastern and Western Upstate New York, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, and Washington.  It is also applicable to stations located within 70 miles of the borders of those NPSPAC regions.
