FCC Proceeding (6)

Amendment to Improve Access to Private Land Mobile Radio Spectrum According to the FCC: In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), we propose to amend Part 90 of the Commission’s Rules to expand access to private land mobile radio (PLMR) spectrum. Specifically, we grant in part petitions for rulemaking filed by the Land Mobile Communications Council (LMCC) proposing to amend our Rules to allow 806-824/851-869 MHz (800 MHz) band incumbent licensees in a market a six-month period in which to apply for Expansion Band and Guard Band frequencies before the frequencies are made available to applicants for new systems; and to amend Section 90.159 of our Rules to extend conditional licensing authority to applicants for site-based licenses in the 800 MHz and 896-901/935-940 MHz (900 MHz) bands. In addition, on our own motion but suggested by recent waiver requests, we propose to amend Section 90.35 of our Rules to make available for PLMR use frequencies that are on the band edge between the Industrial/Business (I/B) Pool and either General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) or Broadcast Auxiliary Service (BAS) spectrum, to make certain frequencies that are designated for central station alarm operations available for other PLMR uses, and to make certain updates and corrections; and to amend Sections 90.219(d)(3) and 90.261(f) of our Rules to accommodate certain railroad operations. Traditionally, the PLMR services have provided for the private, internal communications needs of public safety entities, state and local government entities, large and small businesses, transportation providers, the medical community, and other diverse users of two-way radio systems. PLMR licensees generally do not provide for-profit communications services. The Commission is committed to bringing about more efficient use of PLMR frequencies in order to alleviate congestion in this crowded spectrum, the demand for which continues to grow.

FCC Order waiving the Jan 1, 2013, deadline for narrowbanding 470-512 MHz (DA 12-642) In this Order, we waive, on our own motion, the January 1, 2013 deadline for private land mobile radio (PLMR) licensees in the 470-512 MHz band to migrate to narrowband (12.5 kHz or narrower) technology. We also waive a related rule pertaining to manufacture and importation of PLMR equipment. We take this action in light of recent legislation directing the Commission to reallocate spectrum in the 470-512 MHz band.

FCC Report and Order on TV Channel Sharing Arrangements (FCC 12-45) We amend our rules to establish the basic ground rules for sharing of broadcast channels by stations that choose to share a 6 MHz channel with one or more other stations in connection with the incentive auction. Such sharing will allow stations to relinquish spectrum for new uses while continuing to provide television service to viewers. By adopting these rules now, we seek to provide greater certainty to stations that may wish to consider channel sharing.

FCC Rules for Low Power, Translator, and Class A Television Stations Digital Transition (FCC 11-110) To ensure a timely and successful completion to the low power television digital transition, we take the following steps: (1) adopt a hard deadline of September 1, 2015 for the termination of all analog low power television facilities; (2) establish rules permitting those stations needing additional time to complete their digital transition to obtain a “last minute” extension; (3) require existing analog and digital low power television stations in the 700 MHz band (channels 52-69) to submit displacement applications by September 1, 2011, and to cease operations in the 700 MHz band by December 31, 2011; (4) increase the power limits for VHF low power television channels to 3 kilowatts (the current analog power limit); (5) delegate to the Media Bureau the authority to establish timeframes and procedures for stations that have not already converted to notify the Commission of their conversion plans; (6) widen the class of low power television broadcasters subject to the Commission’s ancillary and supplementary fee rules; (7) modify the Commission’s minor change rule so that it covers a proposed change in a low power television station’s transmitter site of up to 30 miles (48 kilometers) from the reference coordinates of the station’s transmitting antenna; (8) revise the vertical antenna patterns used in the prediction methodology for the low power television services; and (9) allow low power television stations to use the emission mask used by full power television stations.

FCC Public Notice Soliciting Comments on 470-512 MHz (T-band) Spectrum As a result of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, the FCC is required to seek comment from the public on relocating present mobile operations in this band (typically, public safety), and auction the band within nine years.

FCC Third NPRM on Digital LPTV and Translator Stations In this Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“Third Notice”), we seek comment on a number of issues involving low power television (“LPTV”) and TV translator stations (referred to collectively as “LPTV and TV translator stations”). These stations are a source of diverse and local programming for viewers, especially in rural and remote locations. Through this proceeding, we seek comment on measures to facilitate the final conversion of LPTV and TV translator stations to digital service and consider additional means to mitigate the potential impact of the incentive auction and the repacking process on LPTV and TV translator stations to help preserve the important services they provide.
