 =A797.303(s) is very clear on the topic.  You're correct that it doesn't 
 specifically call it a "60 metter" band, but it DOES spell out in detail = 
the 
 mode restrictions and other technical requirements and restrictions of the 
 frequencies I think you call "60 metters". 
 
 "97.303(s) An amateur station having an operator holding a General, Advan= 
ced or 
 Amateur Extra Class license may only transmit single sideband, suppressed 
 carrier, (emission type 2K8J3E) upper sideband on the channels 5332 kHz, = 
5348 
 kHz, 5368 kHz, 5373 kHz, and 5405 kHz. Amateur stations shall ensure that= 
their 
 transmission occupies only the 2.8 kHz centered around each of these 
 frequencies. Transmissions shall not exceed an effective radiated power (= 
e=2Er.p.) 
 of 50 W PEP. For the purpose of computing e.r.p. the transmitter PEP will= 
be 
 multiplied with the antenna gain relative to a dipole or equivalent calcu=

 in decibels. A half wave dipole antenna will be presumed to have a gain o= 
f 0 
 dBd. Licenses using other antennas must maintain in their records either = 
the 
 manufacturer data on the antenna gain or calculations of the antenna gain= 
.. No 
 amateur station may cause harmful interference to stations authorized in = 
the 
 mobile and fixed services; nor is any amateur station protected from 
 interference due to the operation of any such station."
