Circular-letter CR/8 - 30 August 1993

--------------------------------------------------------------

         TO ADMINISTRATIONS OF MEMBERS OF THE ITU

Subject:  Closure date for submission by administrations of the 
          seasonal High Frequency Broadcasting Schedule for the 
	  period March - April 1994 (M-94)

To the Director-General

Dear Sir, 

1.	I wish to inform you that in accordance with the provisions 
of No. 1749 of the Radio Regulations, the Radiocommunication 
Bureau has set  31 October 1993 as the closure date for the 
receipt of the above-projected seasonal Broadcasting Schedules.

2.	In view of the need to issue the Tentative Schedule to 
administrations two months ahead of the implementation date (No. 
1760 of  the Radio Regulations) and considering the time required 
for reproduction and despatch, administrations are urged to send 
in their Schedules before the closure date and, so far as possible, 
before 15 October 1993.

3.	Late submissions not only may fail to be incorporated in 
the Tentative Schedule but could seriously affect its value to 
administrations and that of any recommendation made by the Bureau. 
Utilisation of an incomplete Tentative Schedule, moreover, would 
lead to confusion and difficulty as soon as it is published.

4.	The administrations are reminded that the prescribed form 
in Section A of Appendix 2 to the Radio Regulations, Geneva, 1979 
is still to be used for submitting the seasonal Schedules.  In 
view of the extended use made of the computer for the treatment of 
the frequency assignment notices, the Bureau would not be able to 
treat information submitted on any other form. Only those 
frequencies which will be used for this particular seasonal period 
should be notified. Your attention is invited to IFRB Circular-
letter No. 785 of 12 June 1989 in which administrations were 
informed that seasonal Schedules submitted on diskette using the 
programme described in the circular-letter could also be accepted.

5. 	If the seasonal Broadcasting Schedules are not received by 
the prescribed date, the Bureau will be obliged to use the 
requirements which it included in the Tentative Schedule for the 
preceding season.

6.	With regard to the seasonal Schedule for the period March - 
April 1994 (M-94) the predicted value for the 12-month running 
mean sunspot number R12 is assessed to be 43.

	           Yours faithfully, 




	           Richard C. Kirby
	           Director
