If you want to see what the FCC says about allowable bandwidth.. look at 
section 2.202. They have a table and a formula for figuring it out. IT's 
not related anywhere, specifically, in part 97 to go to 2.202 to find 
out.. but the rules are there.  

Just fyi. if you happen to have the gear to actually MEASURE your 
bandwidth.. well, enjoy! All it takes is a decent spec analyzer, a high 
quality stable reciever with a VERY accurate frequency readout, and a 
'scope.  It's not hard, but it takes a bit of time but it is highly 
accurate and helps allay your fears. Of course.. if you have different 
voice pitched operators you'll have to do a curve for each one cuz the 
voice pitch affects the overall bandwidth.
