Rules of Procedure of No. 5.149
There is no allocation to radio astronomy in the bands 73-74.6 MHz (Regions 1 and 3), 1 330-1 400 MHz, 3 260-3 267 MHz, 3 332-3 339 MHz, 3 345.8-3 352.5 MHz, 6 650-6 675.2 MHz, 22.01-22.21 GHz, 22.81-22.86 GHz, 23.07-23.12 GHz, 31.2-31.3 GHz, 36.43-36.5 GHz, 168.59-168.93 GHz, 171.11-171.45 GHz (except for KOR), 172.31-172.65 GHz (except for KOR), 173.52-173.85 GHz (except for KOR) and 195.75-196.15 GHz. Notification of frequency assignments to radio astronomy stations in the bands 73-74.6 MHz (Regions 1 and 3), 1 330-1 400 MHz, 3 260-3 267 MHz, 3 332-3 339 MHz, 3 345.8-3 352.5 MHz, 6 650-6 675.2 MHz, 22.01-22.21 GHz, 22.81-22.86 GHz, 23.07-23.12 GHz, 31.2-31.3 GHz, 36.43-36.5 GHz, 168.59-168.93 GHz, 171.11-171.45 GHz (except for KOR), 172.31-172.65 GHz (except for KOR), 173.52-173.85 GHz (except for KOR) and 195.75-196.15 GHz will be considered by the Bureau not to be in conformity with the Table of Frequency Allocations.
Rules of Procedure of No. 5.556
There is no allocation to radio astronomy in the bands listed in this provision. The Board concluded that the words “national arrangements" are referring to arrangements to be made in each country. These arrangements are not required to be communicated to the Bureau. Notifications of frequency assignments to radio astronomy stations in these bands will be considered by the Bureau not to be in conformity with the Table of Frequency Allocations.

5. Formulation
of Findings
Rules of Procedure (ROP) §1 of No. 4.5
1.1 A frequency assignment, of which the assigned frequency band overlaps a band not allocated to the service concerned, shall receive an unfavourable regulatory finding under No. 11.31.
1.2 A frequency assignment, of which the assigned frequency band overlaps a band allocated with a lower category of service will be considered as having the lower category of service and, when recorded, will bear a symbol to this effect. (See Symbols R and S in Table 13B, Column 13B2, of the Preface to the IFL.)

8. Protection
Considerations at Notification of Radio Astronomy Stations
• Possible to represent a large observation frequency band to several smaller observation frequency bands
• This will allow the appropriate allocation status for radio astronomy service to be reflected in the findings when recorded in the MIFR
• The radio astronomy service can then benefit from the protection accorded to it according to the allocation status in the frequency band of the observation bandwidth
• Responsibility of administrations to prepare and submit filings and to comply with the applicable provisions of the Radio Regulations
• The examination of the radio astronomy service notification will be based on
• the information submitted by the administrations in the RR Appendix 4 notice form
• relevant rules of procedure to formulate findings
