Could someone please tell me when 87.9 became a legal frequency?

BZL,

ONCE AGAIN FROM MY ORIGINAL POST:

NOTE: Use of Channel 200 [87.9 MHz] is restricted to existing
displaced full service Class D noncommercial educational
stations. See 47 CFR 73.501. Channel 200 is not available for
use by other station classes and services.

READ: 47 CFR 73.501 = http://tinyurl.com/6pyl7
http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/get-cfr.cgi?TITLE=47&PART=73&SECTION=501&YEAR=2002&TYP E=TEXT

Frequency 87.9 MHz for Channel # 200 *

* NOTE: The frequency 87.9 MHz, Channel 200, is available only
for use of existing Class D stations required to change frequency.
It is available only on a noninterference basis with respect to
TV Channel 6 stations and adjacent channel noncommercial educational
FM stations. It is not available at all within 402 kilometers
(250 miles) of Canada and 320 kilometers (199 miles) of Mexico.
The specific standards governing its use are contained in Sec. 73.512.

All of my references (which I admit are many years old) says the
band starts at 88.1

The encyclopedia reference given previously doesn't seem to say when
the change was made.

Thanks.
