# ERRATUM TO NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING

**Released: December 23, 1999**

By the Deputy Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

This Erratum makes minor corrections to the text of the *Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)* in the captioned proceeding, FCC 99-333,
which was released on November 10, 1999. In addition, this Erratum makes
minor corrections to the proposed rules in the *NPRM*. A corrected
version of the *NPRM* has been published in the Federal Register.[^1]
Further, a corrected version of the *NPRM* will be published in the FCC
Record.

1.  In paragraph 19, the words "Section 101.61" are replaced by the
    words "Section 1.947."

2.  In paragraph 54, the date "December 10, 1999" should be changed to
    "January 19, 2000"[^2] and in paragraph 56, the dates "December 10,
    1999" and "December 27, 1999" should be changed to "January 19,
    2000" and "February 7, 2000," respectively.

3.  The proposed amendment to § 101.3 is revised by inserting the words
    "in the 24.25-24.45 GHz band and in the 25.05-25.25 GHz band" after
    the words "digital fixed service" in the definition of 24 GHz
    Service.

> 4\. Section 101.3 is also proposed to be revised by adding the words
> "in the frequency bands 10,550-10,680 MHz, 18,820-18,920 MHz, and
> 19,160-19,260 MHz" at the end of the first sentence of the definition
> for Digital Electronic Message Service.

5.  The proposed amendment to § 101.61(b)(1) is deleted. Section 101.61
    is proposed to be amended by inserting, at the end of the section,
    the sentence: "This section also applies to 24 GHz licensees that
    are licensed according to other defined geographic areas."

6.  The proposed amendment to § 101.111(a)(4) is deleted. Section
    101.111 is proposed to be amended by deleting "and 24,250-25,250 MHz
    bands." Further, § 101.111(a)(4) is proposed to be to be amended by
    adding the words "MHz band" after the words "operating in the
    17,700-19,700."

7.  Section 101.111 is proposed to be revised by adding a new subsection
    101.111(a)(5) which reads:

For 24 GHz Service in the 24,250-25,250 MHz band:

\(i\) On any frequency removed from the center frequency of the 24 GHz
Service channel by more than 50 percent of that channel\'s bandwidth:

A = 35 + 0.75(F - 0.5B) dB (in any 4 kHz channel), or

A = 11 + 0.75(F - 0.5B) dB (in any 1 MHz channel),

but in no event greater than 80 decibels;

A = attenuation (in decibels) below mean output power level contained
within the 24 GHz Service channel for a given polarization

B = bandwidth of 24 GHz Service channel (in MHz)

F = absolute value of the difference between the center frequency of the
measured band and the center frequency of the 24 GHz Service channel

\(ii\) In any 4 kHz band, the center frequency which is outside the 24
GHz Service band: At least 43 + 10 log~10~(mean output power in watts)
decibels.

8\. Existing § 101.111(a)(5) is proposed to be renumbered as §
"101.111(a)(6)."

9\. Existing § 101.111(a)(6) is proposed to be renumbered as §
"101.111(a)(7)."

10. The proposed amendment to § 101.147 is deleted. Subsection
    101.147(r)(9) is proposed to be amended by renumbering the
    introduction as "§ 101.147(r)(9)(i)" and by renumbering existing "§§
    101.147(r)(9) (i) and (ii)" as "§§ 101.147(r)(9)(i)(A)and (B),"
    respectively. Subsection 101.147(r)(9) is also proposed to be
    amended by adding a new "§ 101.147(r)(9)(ii)," (immediately
    preceding § 101.147(r)(10)). Proposed § 101.147(r)(9)(ii) reads:
    "Channels 35-39 are licensed in the 24 GHz Service by geographic
    areas for any digital fixed service."

> 11\. The proposed amendment to § 101.305 is deleted. Section
> 101.305(a) is proposed to be revised by deleting the word "and" and
> adding a comma after the words "Common Carrier Services" and adding
> the words: "or 24 GHz Service" after the words "Local Multipoint
> Distribution Service."
>
> 12\. Section 101.305(b) is proposed to be revised by adding the words:
> "and 24 GHz Service" after the words "Local Multipoint Distribution
> Service."

13\. Section 101.305(c) is proposed to be revised by adding the words:
"and 24 GHz Service" after the words "Local Multipoint Distribution
Service."

> 14\. Proposed § 101.531(a) is revised by deleting the words "FCC Form
> 600" and inserting the words "FCC Form 601."

15\. Proposed § 101.531 (b) is revised by deleting the words "FCC Form
600" and inserting the words "FCC Form 601."

16\. Proposed §§ 101.533(b)(2) and 101.533(c)(2) are deleted.

17\. Proposed §101.535 (b)(1) is amended to read as follows:

> Partitioning. In the case of partitioning, applicants and licensees
> must File FCC Form 603 pursuant to § 1.948 and list the partitioned
> service area on a schedule to the application. The geographic
> coordinates must be specified in degrees, minutes, and seconds to the
> nearest second of latitude and longitude and must be based upon the
> 1983 North American Datum (NAD83).
>
> 18\. The proposed amendments to §§ 101.5(b); 101.13; 101.15;
