Michigan Public Safety
	FREQUENCY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MPSFAC - Serving Michigan RF Spectrum Users Since 1946

    A number of guidelines and regulations effect how frequencies may be coordinated.

    Improper RF emissions may put life and property at risk. Users are cautioned that a violation of these guidelines may lead to sanctions. Compliance with frequency use as designated below is required for interoperability standards.

    Many MPSFAC Policies are provided in a written format. The "origins" of the Michigan Emergency Public Safety System (MEPSS), regulations promulgated for MEPSS and a long standing method of addressing interoperability issues are also described in a brief presentation from 1979.

    A formal plan for administering frequencies in the 800 MHz spectrum has been created. We recommend you review this document before making an application for frequencies within 800 MHz.
