?  Second Level - where a Regional Radiocommunication Conference (RRC) requires a change in
                      national allocation that necessitates existing users to be migrated;

?  Third Level – where the SADC FAP requires a change in national allocation that necessitates
                      existing users to be migrated; and

?  Fourth Level – a decision is made to change the use of a frequency band at national level and this
                      requires the migration of existing users.

Process

The process of frequency migration is carried out in a manner consistent with the Radio Frequency
                   Spectrum  Regulations, 2015 and the generic process is described in the Frequency Migration
                   Regulation (FMR) 2013.

The key processes are described in the Radio Frequency Spectrum Regulations (RFSR) 2015, and
                   are as follows:

?  Preparation of a RFSAP for the particular band or bands; and

?  Amendment of a Radio Frequency Spectrum Licence where necessary.

When it has been established that migration is required, then the critical issue is to determine the
                   time frame in a manner consistent with sound radio frequency spectrum management.

In some cases, it is necessary to carry out a feasibility study on the band in question.  This is illustrated
                   in the process flow indicated below.

Figure 5: Process for developing an RFSAP

The requirement for a feasibility study is usually, but not necessarily, indicated in the FMP.  Where
                   the results of feasibility study indicate a change in the usage of the band in question, a RFSAP will
                   be carried out. The RFSAP will be subject to a consultation process.
