23613 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 22, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 
prepared for a notice-and-comment 
rulemaking proceeding, unless the agency certifies that ‘‘the rule will not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.’’ The RFA generally defines the term ‘‘small entity’’ as having the same meaning as the terms ‘‘small business,’’ ‘‘small organization,’’ and ‘‘small governmental jurisdiction.’’ In addition, the term ‘‘small business’’ has the same meaning as the term ‘‘small business concern’’ under the Small Business Act. A ‘‘small business concern’’ is one which: (1) Is independently owned and operated; (2) is not dominant in its field of operation; and (3) satisfies any additional criteria established by the SBA. 
7. As required by the RFA, the 
Commission prepared Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analyses (IRFAs) in connection with the USF/ICC Transformation FNPRM, 76 FR 78383, December 16, 2011, the 2014 CAF FNPRM, 79 FR 39195, July 9, 2014, and 
the MF–II FNPRM, 82 FR 13413, March 
13, 2017 (collectively, MF–II FNPRMs). A Supplemental Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (Supplemental IRFA) was also filed in the MF–II Challenge Process Comment Public Notice, 82 FR 51180, November 3, 2017, 
in this proceeding. The Commission sought written public comment on the proposals in the MF–II FNPRMs and in the MF–II Challenge Process Comment 
Public Notice, including comments on the IRFAs and Supplemental IRFA. The Commission received three comments in response to the MF–II FNPRM IRFA. Those comments were addressed in the MF–II Challenge Process Order Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis. No comments were filed addressing the other IRFAs or the Supplemental IRFA. The Commission included Final Regulatory Flexibility Analyses in connection with the 2014 CAF Order, 79 FR 39163, July 9, 2014, the MF–II Order, 82 FR 15422, March 28, 2017, and the MF–II Challenge Process Order, and a Supplemental Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis in connection with the MF–II Challenge Process Procedures 
Public Notice. 
8. The MF–II Challenge Process Order 
on Reconsideration modifies the Bureaus’ decision in the MF–II Challenge Process Procedures Public Notice that speed test measurements 
submitted to support and/or respond to a challenge to an area that is initially deemed ineligible for MF–II support must be no more than one-half of one kilometer (500 meters) apart from one another. The MF–II Challenge Process 
Order on Reconsideration increases the maximum distance parameter to 800 meters (approximately one-half of one mile) and, correspondingly, increases the associated buffer radius used to assess challenges to 400 meters (approximately one-quarter of one mile). By reducing the number of speed test measurements needed to submit a successful challenge, the Bureaus expect that these modified parameters will reduce the burden on potential challengers. Therefore, the Bureaus certify that the requirements of the MF– II Challenge Process Order on Reconsideration will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
9. The Commission will send a copy 
of the MF–II Challenge Process Order on Reconsideration, including a copy of 
this Final Regulatory Flexibility Certification, in a report to Congress pursuant to the Congressional Review Act. In addition, the MF–II Challenge Process Order on Reconsideration and this final certification will be sent to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the SBA, and will be published in the Federal Register. 
VI. Ordering Clauses 
10. Accordingly, it is ordered, 
pursuant to the authority contained in 
Sections 4(i), 254, 303(r), and 332 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 254, 303(r), 332, 1302, and Section 1.113(a) of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.113(a), that the MF–II Challenge Process Order on Reconsideration is adopted. 
•Pursuant to Section 1.103 of the

spectrum bands available for licensed wireless microphone operations under part 74. In addition, with respect to licensed wireless microphone operations in other frequency bands, revisions to the channelization plan for licensed wireless microphone operations in the 169–172 MHz band, generally affirm but provide clarifications regarding the 30- megahertz limit placed on licensed wireless microphone users’ access to spectrum in the 1435–1525 MHz band, and clarify coordination requirements and operational limitations for licensed wireless microphone operations in the 941.5–944 MHz band. With these various revisions and clarifications, the Commission finalized the technical rules for wireless microphone operations and, the Commission promotes our goal of accommodating wireless microphone users’ needs through access to spectrum resources following the incentive auction and reconfiguration of the TV bands.
