20 Final remarks Notification has two aspects: administration s obligation to apply the provisions of the Radio Regulations as it is an international treaty signed by ITU Members; to claim for international recognition and rights. The Master Register should reflect the use of the radio spectrum in your territory; It also reflects the use of the various frequency bands, this information is taken into consideration when looking for new allocations; It is important to notify and also to consult the BR IFIC to see what is happening to your assignments and to be aware of how the spectrum is used around you. Notification of your frequency assignments to the BR is very important! 20
