ALLOCATION USAGE DESIGNATION

This chart is a graphic single-point-in-time portrayal of the Table of Frequency Allocations used by the
FCC and NTIA. As such, it does not completely reflect all aspects, i.e., footnotes and recent changes
made to the Table of Frequency Allocations. Therefore, for complete information, users should consult the
Table to determine the current status of U.S. allocations.
