In the USA, spectrum allocations for non-Federal users are made by the [[wikipedia:Federal Communications Commission|Federal Communications Commission]] (federal agency spectrum use is regulated by the [[wikipedia:National Telecommunications and Information Administration|National Telecommunications and Information Administration]]).
The US Band plan consists of frequency allocations for amateurs on bands from 2200 meters to 23 centimeters.


Different classes of amateur radio licensees have different frequency and mode privileges on each band at 10 meters and below.  At 70 centimeters and above, all licensees have all frequency and mode privileges.  From the 6-meter band to the 1.25-cm band, there are mode restrictions for all licensees (CW-only portions on the 6- and 2-meter bands and a data only portion on the 1.25-m band).
Beyond that, there are generally accepted sub-bands intended for different modes.  These are [https://www.arrl.org/band-plan published by the ARRL].  These sub-bands do not have regulatory force, but following them is considered "good amateur practice" and operating in accordance with good amateur practice is required under [https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-97/subpart-B/section-97.101#p-97.101(a) 47 CFR 97.101(a)].

Holders of a Canadian Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with the Basic qualification have all band and mode privileges on and above the 6-m band. Certificate holders who scored higher than 80% on the Basic exam ("Basic with Honours") also gain all band and mode privileges on and below the 10-m band. Certificate holders can also gain access to those HF bands by obtaining a Morse Code qualification (5 wpm) or by taking and passing the Advanced amateur exam. The Advanced qualification allows higher transmitter power and other non-operating privileges (e.g., trustee of repeater stations and club stations. All exams are conducted by an Accredited Examiner.
