the allotted parameters, even though they might be affected by 
potential new interference. The Commission will consider granting 
applications on the basis of interference agreements if it finds that 
such grants will serve the public interest. These agreements must be 
signed by all parties to the agreement. In addition, the Commission 
needs the following information to enable such public interest 
determinations: A list of parties predicted to receive additional 
interference from the proposed facility; a showing as to why a grant 
based on the agreements would serve the public interest; and technical 
studies depicting the additional interference. The technical showings 
and interference agreements will be used by FCC staff to determine if 
the public interest would be served by the grant of the application and 
to ensure that the proposed facilities will not result in additional 
interference.
