By the Deputy Chief, Mobility Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:
1. Introduction.  We have before us an informal objection, filed by the Central Station 
Alarm Association (CSAA), to the above-captioned application filed by Keith L. Larson (Larson) to 
operate on frequency 466.000 MHz.1 CSAA asserts Larson is not entitled to operate on the frequency 
because he does not render a central station protection service.2 For the reasons indicated below, we grant 
the objection and will dismiss the application with respect to frequency 466.000 MHz. 
2. Background.  On June 29, 2011, Larson filed an application seeking authorization to 
operate a base station in Jamestown, North Dakota on frequency 464.750 MHz and mobile units on that 
and six other frequencies, including 466.000 MHz.3 On July 19, 2011, CSAA filed an informal objection 
to the application because frequency 466.000 MHz that, pursuant to Section 90.35(c)(66) of the 
Commission’s Rules, is restricted to use by entities rendering a central station commercial protection 
service.4 On August 25, 2011, the Commission returned the application to Larson.5 Frequency 
coordinator Enterprise Wireless Alliance (EWA) responded, stating that, pursuant to Section 90.35(c)(63) 
of the Commission’s Rules, non-central stations can operate on alarm channels if they are located at least 
120 km (75 miles) from defined urbanized areas of 200,000 or more population – a requirements that is 
met by Larson.6 On August 31, 2011, CSAA filed a supplement to the objection, addressing the EWA’s 
arguments.7
3. Discussion.  The assignment of frequency 466.000 MHz is governed by Section 
90.35(c)(66), which states that the frequency may be assigned only to persons rendering a central station 
commercial protection service.8 EWA is incorrect in arguing that Section 90.35(c)(63), which permits 
non-central stations to operate on alarm channels under certain conditions, applies to frequency 466.000 
MHz.  As we previously explained,

Section 90.35(c)(66) does not incorporate every provision of Section 90.35(c)(63); rather, 
the only part of Section 90.35(c)(63) that is incorporated into Section 90.35(c)(66) is the 
definition of central station commercial protection service.  Therefore, a frequency that is 
subject to Section 90.35(c)(66) but not to Section 90.35(c)(63) . . . is designated 
exclusively for central station commercial protection service operations nationwide.9
Frequency 466.000 MHz is subject to Section 90.35(c)(66) but not to Section 90.35(c)(63).  Because it is 
undisputed that the farming operations for which Larson intends to use the frequency do not qualify as 
central station commercial service protection operations, we grant CSAA’s objection and will dismiss 
Larson’s application with respect to frequency 466.000 MHz.
4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the informal objection filed on July 19, 2011 by the 
Central Station Alarm Association IS GRANTED, and application FCC File No. 0004785899 SHALL BE 
PROCESSED in accordance with this Order and the Commission’s Rules.  
5. This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.131 and 0.331 of the 
Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.131, 0.331.
