The Federal Communications Commission and the National

respectively - have agreed to support a secondary MF allocation to the 
Amateur Radio Service at 461-469 kHz and 471-478 kHz at the 2012 World 
Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-12), to be held in Geneva, 
Switzerland from January 23-February 17, 2010.
