>
> On October 26, 2000, Safety Warning Systems, L.C., (SWS) requested a
> waiver of Section 15.205(b) of the Commission's rules to permit
> certification of a device for MPH Industries, Inc., (MPH). Section
> 15.205(b) limits the spurious emissions in a restricted band (i.e.,
> spectrum above 38.6 GHz) to the values in Section 15.209 i.e., 500
> uV/m at 3m. Because the second and third harmonics of the device
> exceed that value, SWS requests a waiver to permit certification of
> the devices under the limits in Section 15.249 for the second and
> third harmonics.
>
> SWS notes that the MPH device is a Part 15 intentional radiator that
> transmits data in the 24.1 GHz band, pursuant to Section 15.249. Its
> sole purpose is to send traffic safety alerts to a receiver in a
> moving car. Messages can include information on road hazards,
> accidents, construction, emergency vehicles, slow-moving equipment,
> oversize loads, etc.
>
> The Office of Engineering and Technology is reviewing the request to
> determine whether a waiver of the rules should be granted and seeks
> comments from interested parties concerning this matter.
>
> Interested parties may file comments or oppositions to this waiver
> request on or before July 31, 2001. Parties interested in submitting
> reply comments must do so on or before August 15, 2001. All comments
> should reference the subject Waiver Request by Safety Warning Systems,
> L.C., DA 01-1705, and should be filed with the Office of the
> Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 445 Twelfth Street, SW,
> Room TW-A325, Washington, D.C. 20554. A copy of each filing should be
> sent to International Transcription Services, Inc. (ITS), 445 Twelfth
> Street, SW, Room CY-B400, Washington, D.C. 20554. In addition,
