2014 Wildland Fire Radio Frequency Plan A Guide for Cooperators of the ASFD 3/30/2014 Version 1.3

Arizona State Forestry Division 2014 Wildland Fire Radio Frequency Plan The Arizona State Forestry Division (ASFD) has established a Statewide Wildland VHF Radio Frequency Plan for initial attack (IA) incidents within the jurisdiction of the ASFD. For larger scale events, Incident communications personnel, i.e. COML’s, will have access to many other radio resources for extended attack incidents beyond what is represented here. The planning of initial attack radio channel usage and establishing partner agency frequencies into radios, in advance of incidents, strengthens preparedness. However, technology alone, no matter how expansive or advanced, is limited in its effectiveness unless it is exercised and tested regularly. The use of the ASFD radio network by your agency for ASFD Incidents is supported through co-operative agreement and pre-authorized under the authority of the FCC Rules Regulation Part 90, Sections 90.421 and Section 2.103, AND, by your submittal of the attached ASFD Radio Frequency Sharing Agreement. This plan includes the 2014 ASFD Wildland Fire Communications Radio Frequency List of pre-approved narrow banded ASFD radio frequencies for your use on ASFD incidents. While the ASFD recognizes the existence of many local jurisdiction two-way radio systems throughout Arizona, other wildland fire specific radio systems that should be given equal importance are identified the 2014 Southwest Area Wildland Fire Radio Frequency Interoperability Guide, (attached). The Southwest Area radio guide contains mostly Federal wildland fire agency radio frequency information and is provided to you through your agreement with the ASFD. Important: Please note the sensitive and confidential nature of the federal radio frequency information as it contains Federal radio frequency data that are considered Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) release exempt and are to be protected as Sensitive But Unclassified data (SBU). Additionally, the Arizona Interagency Radio System (AIRS) for all-risk incidents continues to be a supplementary interoperability tool for all emergency response agencies for all risk incidents. http://www.azgita.gov/psic/library/airs/. The ASFD encourages all emergency responder agencies to secure the AZDPS-Wireless System Bureau Interagency Services Agreement for AIRS usage in the event that the ASFD engages in its temporary use for wildland fire emergencies. http://www.azpsic.gov/library/airs/AIRS_MOU.pdf ASFD Radio Frequency Plan Use Guidelines 1. Local policy will dictate radio channel/frequency assignments for an incident until an Incident Commander (IC) or Communications Unit Leader (COML) establishes the Incident Radio Communications Plan (ICS Form 205). 2. The Incident Commander or, if assigned, the Communications Unit Leader is responsible for managing assigned radio channels/frequencies and must clear the use of local, state and federal frequencies with the controlling agencies prior to inclusion in an Incident Radio Communications Plan (ICS Form 205) with the exception of ASFD licensed frequencies. 3. Clear text (plain English) should be used for all communications. Standardized channel/frequency names should be stated, e.g., “VFIRE21,” or “ASFD TAC 1.” It is strongly suggested that Channel/frequency plan for ASFD must be programed in its entirety, i.e. ASFD Chanel 1 thru 11 except if published in a separate incident based ICS-205 Comm Plan where in only specific channels are needed. 4. When calling another unit/ICS position, the standard is to identify who you are calling first, followed by your call sign (e.g., “Engine 236, Battalion 4” or “Division B, Strike Team 6”). Recognize that on large mutual aid

incidents, there may be several units with the same radio ID. In those cases, the agency name should also be used (e.g., “State Fire Engine 325, Daisy Mtn Engine 41”). 5. Data communications (i.e., automated or push button status keeping systems) SHALL NOT be used outside the local agency’s normal area of operation. 6. Radio programming that enables data signaling (e.g., push-to-talk identification) is prohibited on ASFD or interoperability channels (e.g., ASFD Channel 1 thru 11, VFIRE21). 7. Vehicular repeater systems (mobile extenders) SHALL NOT be used outside the local agency’s normal area of operation. 8. The use of gateways (including portable, mobile or fixed) shall be limited to the smallest geographical area of coverage to meet the temporary needs of the incident. Gateways shall only be used on channels/frequencies that are specifically licensed for that type of operation (e.g., temporary mobile relay) and must be specifically authorized based upon an approved Incident Radio Communications Plan (ICS Form 205), or be recognized as a fixed gateway as identified in the Arizona Interagency Radio System Priority Programing Guide. 9. Family Radio Service (FRS) radios are prohibited from use on Federal and State of Arizona incidents. Use of any non-public safety radio (e.g., FRS, etc.) or use of a frequency not identified on the Incident Radio Communications Plan (ICS Form 205) or identified within this ASFD Radio Frequency Channel Plan is prohibited on any incident unless approved by a COML. 10. The use of any frequency outside the agency’s normal, licensed area of operation is prohibited by FCC rules and will likely cause harmful interference to other users (e.g., Strike Teams using a local channel in a distant part of the state). Additional radio use information to consider: 

Enhanced use of CTCSS or Tones – Channel Guard, Tone, PL Tone or Code Guard are all manufacture’s terms describing the same thing for the common use of CTCSS, (Carrier Tone Coded Squelch System). CTCSS is a pre-defined set of nationally recognized and engineered set of sub-audible secondary subfrequencies that are becoming more widely implemented by member agencies. Some uses of CTCSS tone include: transmit tone only, tone on both transmit AND receive, and, in some cases, may or could be a different tone between transmit and receive. While some agency frequencies do not use CTCSS tones at all, other agency frequencies must have the appropriate CTCSS tones applied otherwise radio communications issues may occur. The implementation of CTCSS tones are not selected at random but rather are implemented using technical algorithms and applied as needed by agency communications professionals. Radio user training should include the importance and correct use of CTCSS on your radio and never be added to radio frequencies unless specified by COML’s, COMT’s or other radio communications frequency managers or radio professionals.



Air Guard use – Most agencies follow the prescribed standards for Air Guard being the last channel on a group of frequencies. This prescribed standard was developed so that in the event of an emergency a user could turn the radio channel knob to the last channel and place an emergency call without looking and searching for an emergency channel. AIR GUARD is restricted to the following use: Air-to-Air emergency contact and coordination, Ground-to-Air emergency contact, Initial call, recall, and re-direction of aircraft when no other contact frequency is available.



Air-to-Ground Frequencies – There are pre-defined air to ground frequencies established for the specific purpose of communicating between initial attack aircraft and ground resources operating within geographic areas. Please reference the 2014 Southwest Area Wildland Fire Radio Frequency Interoperability Guide to ensure that you are using the correct air to ground frequency for the given area.



Radio Use Training – Annual end-user radio communications refresher training should be completed prior to fire season and include some radio communications basics such as; repeater use, tactical, line of sight, air to ground use, air guard use, command channel, ICS205, 204’s & CTCSS. The ASFD radio use refresher training course outline is available at; http://azsf.gov/resources/fire-professionals/firefighter-training



Annual Radio Equipment Maintenance Inspection Checks - Mobile and Portable two-way radios require yearly maintenance checks to ensure that electronic devices are operating at peak efficiencies, remain reliable and conform to agency standards. If your mobile or portable radio has not been inspected by a radio communications professional in more than a year, even though it appears to be functionally correctly, then it probably should be scheduled for a maintenance check. Consult your agency Communications Section for further guidance.



Firefighter Safety Memo- Communications - In August 2013, the NMAC-National Multi-agency Coordinating Group established a firefighter safety memo which addresses radio frequency misuse; http://www.nifc.gov/nicc/administrative/nmac/NMAC2013-7RadioFrequency.docx.



Federal Agency frequency changes - Please note the Arizona based Federal fire agency frequency changes for 2014. o USDA Forest Service Region 3 has obtained three new Initial Attack (IA) radio frequencies for use throughout Region 3 to replace the previous use of NIFC TAC1, NIFC TAC2 & NIFC TAC3. The new R-3 FS Tactical Frequencies are; 167.550 (R3 TAC 1), 168.675 (R3 TAC 2), and 168.775 (R3 TAC 3). These frequencies are available to support IA within Region 3 in the same manner as the NIFC tactical frequencies were used to support IA in the past. However, the use of NIFC Tac 1,2 & 3 Frequencies;168.050 (NIFC TAC 1), 168.200 (NIFC TAC 2), and 168.600 (NIFC TAC 3) are assigned to NIFC for national incidents and coordinated by the NIFC CDO, (208) 384-5644. Use of NIFC TAC 1,2 & 3 is no longer available for use for Initial Attack incidents unless specifically coordinated and assigned by the NIFC CDO for specific incident use. o Prescott NF reported changes for 2014 - please consult the 2014 Southwest Area Wildland Fire Radio Frequency Interoperability Guide. o Apache-Sitgraves NF reported changes for 2014 - please consult the 2014 Southwest Area Wildland Fire Radio Frequency Interoperability Guide. o Coconino NF reported changes - please consult the 2014 Southwest Area Wildland Fire Radio Frequency Interoperability Guide. o Kaibab NF reported changes for 2014 - please consult the 2014 Southwest Area Wildland Fire Radio Frequency Interoperability Guide. o BLM in Arizona reported changes for 2014 - please consult the 2014 Southwest Area Wildland Fire Radio Frequency Interoperability Guide. o Arizona State Forestry Division reported changes for 2014 - please consult the 2014 Southwest Area Wildland Fire Radio Frequency Interoperability Guide or the ASFD ICS217A Radio Frequency Plan within this document o There were no changes reported for the NPS, BIA, USF&WS or other National Forests for 2014.

Radio Frequency Sharing Agreement Authorization to share Radio Frequencies through Inter Governmental Agreement (IGA) and Co-Operative Fire Agreement between the

Arizona State Forestry Division (ASFD) & Arizona Fire Departments, Jurisdictions and Agencies & Organizations under IGA, Cooperative Fire Agreement and other Agreements with the ASFD The purpose of this agreement is to provide for the sharing of specific radio frequencies that are licensed to each agency. This agreement is needed to provide safe, efficient and cost effective radio communications support for emergency relief operations conducted under the jurisdiction of the agencies making this agreement. This agreement to share certain radio frequencies is entered under the authority of the FCC Rules Regulation Part 90, Sections 90.421 and Section 2.103 and under the authority and agreements established under the umbrella of the ASFD including Cooperative Fire Rate (CFR) and Emergency Equipment Rental Agreements (EERA’s). The parties to this agreement hereby agree to the following conditions and agree to govern the mutual use of their respective radio frequencies identified in an attachment to this agreement. 1.

Each agency shall exercise control and be responsible for all radio transmissions on their authorized/licensed frequency. It shall be possible to immediately terminate the use of a specific frequency when it is deemed necessary by the controlling agency.

2.

Local dispatch and management procedures between the agencies of this agreement will be used to provide for orderly control of each other's frequencies.

3.

This agreement is for mobile, portable, and transportable radios only. Permanently installed base stations are not included in this agreement.

4.

Frequencies for use must include the operating frequency, bandwidth, emission, power output limitations and operational information regarding the use of the frequency.

5.

Use of the listed frequencies under conditions other than identified in this agreement will be reported as interference, and appropriate action taken.

6.

Some two-way radio frequencies are used only for line-of-sight (simplex) communications. The controlled use of these simplex frequencies by the licensed agency ensures effective communications. Uncontrolled use of simplex frequencies in local areas could result in operational loss of shared frequencies due to congested radio traffic. Therefore, requests for extended use of all simplex frequencies shall be forwarded to the controlling agency Dispatch Center for frequency assignment during extended use periods such as large incidents. This will only apply when the use of these simplex frequencies will potentially “tieup” the frequency on extended incidents.

This agreement may be modified by written amendments with the mutual consent of both agencies.

RADIO FREQUENCY SHARING AGREEMENT Signature Authorization Page Unless otherwise provided, this agreement continues indefinitely and is effective as of the date of signatures. Either party may terminate this agreement by providing 30 days written notice.

Introduction Southwest Area Wildland Fire Radio Frequency Interoperability Guide

Overview This document is a collection of Southwest Area Member Agency Communications Resource Availability Worksheets (ICS217A’s) (Frequency Lists) that are intended to be used as an official reference guide to assist radio communications personnel in programing current and accurate partner agency radio frequency data into radios. To use communications equipment and systems effectively in all types of public safety communications, first responders must have access to radio frequency information for enhanced radio communications interoperability. Planning radio channel usage and programming partner agency and interoperability channels into radios in advance of an emergency, or planned events, strengthens preparedness. Interoperability, in the form of mutual aid and interagency assistance to adjacent jurisdictions, requires advanced planning, including interoperable communications preprogramming. However, technology alone, no matter how expansive or advanced, is limited in its effectiveness unless it is exercised and tested regularly. Furthermore, it is suggested that for agency personnel to effectively use partner agency radio frequencies and interoperability channels, adequate training and exercises are also needed. The draft Southwest Area Interagency Radio Frequency Sharing Agreement found in this manual is a pre-authorized document that is the basis for this guide. Background The Southwest Area Coordinating Group (SWCG) Communications Committee is a sub-committee of the Operations Group within the SWCG. In early 2011, the SWCG Communication Group determined that a single source for radio frequency information was needed. The development of this Southwest Area Radio Frequency and Interoperability Guide is designed to provide for the most up to date and accurate radio frequency information throughout the SW Area for wildland fire response agencies. This document is merely an attempt to consolidate SW Area member agency radio frequency data within an ICS standardized format and is only as accurate as the information that was collected from each agency radio communications manager/frequency/spectrum/systems manager or electronics technician. Consistent with NIMS principles, we have used the APCO/NPSTC Standard Channel Nomenclature as the source for channel names, and we have used the “Communications Resource Availability Worksheet” (ICS 217A, revised 3/2007) as the means to present the channel programming data. Because different radio models have different capabilities and limitations, we recognize that the information contained in these templates cannot be programmed identically in all radios. We have therefore not attempted to create a “universal” programming guide, nor have we constrained the examples to the lowest common denominator. Coordination within each area is recommended. Annually, the attached Southwest Area Communications Frequency Availability Worksheets (ICS217) are suggested to be updated by each participating agency no later than December 1st to ensure accurate frequency information is referenced. Agency Frequency ICS217’s should be submitted by the participating agency communications manager/coordinator to the SWCG-Communications Committee for consolidation. The SWCG Communications Committee shall consolidate all completed participating agency ICS217 forms and submit these to SWCC for distribution to the participating agencies no later than December 15th of each year. The frequencies listed within the submitted Southwest Area Communications Frequency Availability List are approved for use by each of the participating agencies

1

within the Southwest Coordinating Group to the extent of the provisions of use stipulated in the preauthorized SWCG Radio Frequency Sharing Agreement.

Purpose This guide is intended for radio system managers and technicians responsible for designing and programming partner agency and interoperability radio frequency information for public safety radios in their area. The content presented in this guide is based on FCC and NTIA regulations, the National Interoperability Field Operations Guide (NIFOG), and the APCO/NPSTC Standard Channel Nomenclature; and uses the Communications Resource Availability Worksheet (ICS Form 217A, revised 3/2007) as the standard form for presenting data. This is also supplemented by the attached draft Radio Frequency Sharing Agreement which is the basis to use the frequencies identified in the ICS217A’s for emergency communications between agencies. How to Use this Tool This guide is intended to help technicians to program radios. The template in this guide is consistent with FCC and NTIA rules and regulations and the NPSTC Standard Channel Nomenclature. This document does not address every issue that jurisdictions, regions, or states may face when seeking to program radios. Programming should be customized to the capability or resource for which they are established and should consider unique characteristics of specific agencies and or participating jurisdictions. We recommend programming as many of the listed frequencies with consideration of any specific radio frequency sharing agreements and limitation noted on each ICS217A. 1. Understand the licensing or authorization requirements for channel usage (maritime, aviation, LMR, etc.; channels assigned to you for a specific geographical area vs. shared mutual aid and nationwide interoperability channels) 2. Review any existing local and regional communications policies, tactical communications interoperability plans and programming guides.

Questions about this document can be directed to any member of the Southwest Area Coordinating Group Communications Committee or to the respective agency communications professional.

Subject: 6RXWK:HVW$UHD Coordination Center Initial Attack Air to Ground FM Frequency Assignments for2014 Fire Season. The frequency information provided with this letter validates air to ground frequencies and the new naming conventionfor the coming 2014 fire season. Air to Ground radio frequency assignments used for initial attack are coordinated by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) National Interagency Incident Communications Division (NIICD), Communications Duty Office Coordinator (CDO). Air to Air frequency assignments are provided by the Federal Aviation Administration and will be forthcoming in a separate document. The Air to Ground assignments are provided by the Department of Interior and the Department of Agriculture. It has become increasing difficult to meet the growing demand for radio frequency spectrum and it is expected that future requirements cannot be met without aggressive frequency management and extensive sharing among all agencies. Initial Attack FM Air to Ground Assignments Air to Ground frequencies provides communication between initial attack aircraft and ground crews operating within the initial attack zone. Agency mobiles and portables responding to initial attack within a zone require air to ground assignments to be authorized, or licensed, so that agencies may configure equipment prior to fire season, without requiring “on the fly” changes during the fire season. In the event that the assigned frequencies may not be sufficient to support extensive fire activity temporary assignments may be requested from the Communication Duty Officer (CDO) to supplement the initial attack zone. Each agency is represented by a frequency manager and NIICD has worked with these managers to coordinate frequency resources for use in accordance with the radio frequency authorization (RFA) or temporary use authority that permits operation on that frequency. Initial Attack Zone Boundaries When changes to initial attack zone boundaries are planned, NIICD will make a representative available to assist GACC managers with coordination of frequency requirements in order to facilitate a timely transition. Any zone boundary changes must be planned out in advance and will not reflect changes until the next fire season. Sensitive But Unclassified Under the authority of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Department of Interior and Department of Agriculture have designated specific frequencies nationwide for assignment and use by NIFC to support their all-risk-management missions. These radio frequency assignments are Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) release exempt and are to be protected as Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) data.

Subject: Initial Attack/Extended Attack/All Risk Management Zones (IA/EA/ARMZ) Air-to-Air AM Frequency Assignments in the Southwest GACC for 2014 Fire Season.

O

General Information: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Spectrum Engineering group supports NIFC by engineering and providing coordination for the use of specific Very High Frequency (VHF), Air Traffic Control (ATC) AM frequencies. The coordination provided to NIFC is to support the aeronautical spectrum requirements for federal agencies that use aircraft in support of wildfire and all-risk emergencies across the country. NIFC through coordination with the GACC's divides the country into geographical communications zones that are similar to Tailored Service Volumes (TSV). Depending on the predicted incidence of fires, the FAA coordinates a number of VHF ATC frequencies per zone. Every year NIFC publishes a map "IA/EA/ARMZ Air-to-Air AM frequency" with these geographical zones and corresponding frequencies for their field units (dispatch center). All IA/EA/ARMZ AM frequencies are validated on a yearly basis and reserved for that entire year. The FAA provides the required pre-coordination for frequencies in the aeronautical frequency bands and maintains those frequencies and associated technical parameters in the FAA’s database for engineering purposes. The FAA has the right to terminate or modify the transmit authorization on frequencies coordinated for firefighting at any time if needed to support an ATC requirement that cannot be met by any other means. Only the CDO from the NIFC/NIICD will request frequencies from the FAA. It is critical that these frequencies are used only at the location, service volume and function authorized.

42

(The tailored service volume for an IA/EA/ARMZ A/A AM frequency is 5000 ft AGL within the IA/EA/ARMZ zone). It is the responsibility of NIFC/NIICD/CDO to ensure compliance with this requirement. Frequencies engineered for firefighting responses, can also be used in other emergency situations such as All-Risk Incidents, Search and Rescue, etc. as long as they are properly coordinated with the NIFC CDO.

D IIC 14 /N 0 C l2 IF ia N fic f

Initial Attack Air-to-Air AM Assignments: Initial Attack (IA) frequencies are assigned for firefighting aircraft’s immediate response within a zone. The number of frequencies that the FAA coordinates per zone depends on the predicted incidence of fires and the availability of frequencies. When more than one frequency is coordinated per zone, the secondary (and in some cases the tertiary) frequency will be used for additional fire emergencies in the zone. When no frequencies are assigned for a zone and a fire occurs, a frequency will be requested by the NIFC/CDO and provided by the FAA in real time (“on demand”).

O

By agreement with the FAA the primary, secondary and tertiary assignment are shown on the annual initial attack map and made available for official use only for the fire season. Initial Attack Zone Boundaries: When changes to initial attack zone boundaries are planned, please notify your NIICD GACC representative as soon as possible. Your NIICD representative will be available to assist GACC managers with coordination of frequency requirements in order to facilitate a timely transition. This Coordination may take up to one year to complete due to the coordination needed with agency frequency managers and FAA frequency managers to insure aviation safety. Sensitive But Unclassified: Under the authority of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Department of Interior and Department of Agriculture have designated specific frequencies nationwide for assignment and use by NIFC to support their all-risk management missions. These radio frequency assignments are Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) release exempt and are to be protected as Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) data.

Initial Attack Frequency Zone Management Plan Overview: As fire severity levels increase and multiple initial attack responses occur, air operations also become increasingly more complex. The need to coordinate communications for Air-to-Air (A/A) and Air-to-Ground (A/G) becomes paramount for conducting safe and effective fire suppression responses. This Supplemental Interagency Communications Plan is intended to help provide guidance for more effective A/A and A/G communications between aircraft and local, state, and federal fire agencies during air operations for initial attack and extended initial attack situations.

O

D IIC 14 /N 0 C l2 IF ia N fic f

Air-to-Air: Initial attack zones have AM frequencies pre-engineered by the FAA which must be recertified annually by NIICD. The re-certification will be documented by the CDO through an annual letter accompanied by updated zone maps distributed to agency Frequency Managers and the Geographic Area Center Manager. These maps will be shared by the GACC aviation dispatchers with all state and local cooperators. This Communications Plan will be activated April 1st of each year, or earlier if conditions warrant. Upon activation the Geographic Area Center Manager, or designate, will receive approval for the use of IA/EA/ARMZ AM frequencies, in accordance with this plan, from the NIFC/NIICD/CDO. The authorization for use of AM frequencies will terminate on November 1st. However if conditions should warrant, extended use of these frequencies may be requested and must be coordinated through the NIFC/CDO. This plan establishes specific guidelines and a baseline reference for maintaining communications during IA/EA aviation operations. The plan has identified levels of communications support that correspond to the increased activity levels that can occur within a Zone(s) at any given time. VHF AM (Victor) Initial Attack/Extended Attack/All Risk Management Zones Aircraft Frequencies: The operating conditions outlined below are intended to promote aircraft safety and provide for efficient use of the radio frequency spectrum. Frequency Management Plan: The primary AM assignment is published at the beginning of the fire season. The secondary and tertiary assignment for the zone, if pre-engineered, will reside under the control of the GACC. The secondary and tertiary assignment can be quickly authorized for use by the zone as determined by the GACC. The CDO must be informed if the GACC determines to utilize the tertiary assignment. VHF AM assignments are used for Air-to-Air communications and are authorized only within the assigned zone. IA zone frequency assignments are not to be dedicated to project fires.

Primary Air-to-Air: • Published on zone map. • Frequency issued by the GACC through ROSS to each zone with recertification by the CDO no later than April 1st. • Availability for use upon issue as needed by the zone. Secondary Air-to-Air: • Published on zone map. • Frequency held at GACC, ordered through ROSS, and issued based upon the activity occurring within the zone (Zone request to GACC). • Availability: To IA zone under following conditions from GACC; Multiple tactical aircraft operating within the same zone requiring multiple frequencies for aviation safety.

Tertiary Air-to-Air: • Published on zone map. • Held by GACC (The CDO must be notified of usage) • Availability: Conditional with coordination of the CDO by request of GACC. ROSS Ordering Process: • GACC will assign home dispatch to each zone (dispatch center) for primary initial attack air frequency. • GACC will assign, via request in ROSS, all secondary and tertiary frequencies. ROSS Frequency Catalog Items: The following catalog items are the only items used to order aircraft frequencies: • Air-to-Air AM • Air-to-Air FM (for use in CA only) • Air-to-Ground FM Logistics • *Tactical *Catalog item “Tactical” will remain in ROSS since Cal-Fire uses ROSS to assign ground tactical frequencies to Cal-Fire incidents.

Southwest Area Interagency Radio Frequency Sharing Agreement Authorization to share Radio Frequencies as identified through established co-operative agreements between participating agencies of the (SWCG) Southwest Coordinating Group The purpose of this agreement is to provide for the sharing of specific radio frequencies that are licensed to each agency. This agreement is needed to provide safe, efficient and cost effective radio communications support for emergency relief operations conducted under the jurisdiction of the agencies making this agreement and in the interest of cooperative interoperability for emergency response. This agreement to share certain radio frequencies is entered under the authority of the NTIA Manual of Regulations, Chapter 8.3.3, NTIA Chapter 7.3.4 and NTIA Chapter 7.3.6 and FCC Rules Regulation Part 90, Sections 90.421 and Section 2.103 and is also pre-approved as part of the Master Corporative Wildland Fire Management & Stafford Act Response Agreement, Section VII, part 42 -Communications Systems, to mutually agree to allow the use of agency communications systems such as frequencies where is it a mutual benefit to participating agencies and, the New Mexico State Forestry Division Joint Powers Agreement. This agreement does not supersede any existing signed Non-Federal Government Radio Frequency Use Agreements. (RFUA) The parties to this agreement by virtue of pre-existing approved documents as identified above hereby agree to the following conditions and agree to govern the mutual use of their respective radio frequencies identified in the SWCG Communications Frequency Resource Availability list as attached. 1. Each agency shall exercise control and be responsible for all radio transmissions on their authorized/licensed frequency. It shall be possible to immediately terminate the use of a specific frequency when it is deemed necessary by the controlling agency. 2. Local dispatch and management procedures between the agencies of this agreement will be used to provide for orderly control of each other's frequencies. 3. This agreement is for mobile, portable, and transportable radios only. Permanently installed base stations are not included in this agreement. This Agreement generally allows for no more than what is reasonable and prudent in the amount of portable and mobile radios that are authorized on the listed frequencies unless otherwise specified. 4. Frequencies for shared use must include the operating frequency, CTCSS (if needed), bandwidth, power output limitations, Channel name and operational information regarding the use of the frequency. 5. Use of the listed frequencies under conditions other than identified in this agreement will be reported as interference, and appropriate action taken. 6. Some two-way radio frequencies are used only for line-of-sight (simplex) communications. The controlled use of these simplex frequencies by the licensed agency ensures effective communications. Uncontrolled use of simplex frequencies in local areas could result in operational loss of shared frequencies due to congested radio traffic. Therefore, requests for extended use of all simplex frequencies shall be forwarded to the controlling agency Dispatch Center for frequency assignment during extended use periods such as large incidents. Frequency coordination is provided by the respective Agency Communications Manager. However, Communication Unit Leaders, Communication Managers, Comm Tech’s, Frequency Coordinators and or Communications Advanced Teams (SW Area CAT Team) should be consulted if extended use is needed beyond reasonable initial use.
