Region 52 – 800MHz NPSPAC Plan Amendment

Approved by the FCC in June 2009; this amendment establishes the 800MHz channel assignments/allocations made to the jurisdictions within the 52-county area of Region 52. This amendment was created in response to an FCC rebanding effort designed to eliminate potential interference to public safety communications within the band. Planning regions were required to shift by fifteen megahertz from the original NPSPAC band of 821-824/866-869 MHz down to the new band of 806-809/851- 854 MHz to eliminate the potential for conflict.

Region 52 is comprised of the following 52 counties in the Panhandle and South Plains of Texas;
Dallam, Sherman, Hansford, Ochiltree, Lipscomb, Hartley, Moore, Hutchinson, Roberts, Hemphill, Oldham, Potter, Carson, Gray, Wheeler, Deaf Smith, Randall, Armstrong, Donley, Collingsworth, Parmer, Castro, Swisher, Briscoe, Hall, Childress, Bailey, Lamb, Hale, Floyd, Motley, Cottle, Hardeman, Foard, Wilbarger, Wichita, Clay, Montague, Jack, Young, Archer, Baylor, King, Dickens, Crosby, Lubbock, Hockley, Cochran, Yoakum, Terry, Lynn, and Garza.
