The ARRL has an excellent book "The FCC Rule Book" which is a complete guide to the FCC Regulations Governing Amateur Radio.
Not only is Part 97 printed in its' entirety, but also included is an explanation of the rules and how they affect amateurs in the US and other ITU regions, etc. So, if you have this book or a copy of Part 97, I suggest you read 97.301 Authorized Frequency Bands and 97.305 Authorized Emissions Types. This will provide you with who does what as far as bands, allocations and "plans" for the different modes. The front part of the book, at least in my copy, gives the rules perspective as applied to American Amateur in relation to self and international rules and agreements. Have fun!
