On March 8, 2016 FCC granted a waiver of Section 90.537(a) of the rules to the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of State Police. Virginia had requested a waiver of the rules which address narrowband trunking requirements so that it may use non-trunked State channels and former reserve channels (now General Use channels) in its existing 700 MHz digital vehicular repeater units (DVRS) of its STARS statewide system.
