It’s complicated. See: FCC Part 97 4th ed 97.305. Shared frequencies like 60-m are an exceptions to the rule. Generally I see that the FCC also designates certain modes for portions of bands. These obviously have the force of law.
Band plans must comply with the regulations. I believe they are part of the expectation that we can be self regulating. I don’t believe they have the force of law. They may come from ARRL, and lately I have learned that they may come from a state committee as well. They seem to range from very strongly recommend as good practice to suggestions. Open to flogging if I am wrong.
