          ITU-R RECOMMENDATIONS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
                     IN THE RADIO REGULATIONS
                               
                                 

1    Introduction

     The Voluntary Group of Experts (VGE) on Simplification of the
Radio Regulations (RR) has recommended that certain very detailed
technical provisions be transferred to ITU-R Recommendations, which
would where necessary be incorporated in the RR by reference, so as
to retain the same legal status.

     It may happen that a Recommendation of which a version is
incorporated by reference in the RR is revised and approved by a
radiocommunication assembly or under the procedure for approval of
Recommendations between assemblies, without however being able to
be adopted by a world radiocommunication conference. In that case,
there would be two versions of the same Recommendation, one
incorporated in the RR and the other not.

     Such a situation may give rise to confusion regarding the
valid version referred to in the Regulations.


2    Proposal

     In order to identify in a clear and unambiguous manner the
ITU-R Recommendations incorporated by reference in the Radio
Regulations, it is proposed that the abbreviation RR be added to
the numbers of such Recommendations as follows:


ITU-R Recommendation 	_ _ _  	_ _ _ _	- _RR
			series 	number	version
