Summary of the 4th NPRM

1. In the Second Notice of Proposed

Rule Making, 61 FR 14041, March 29,

1996, the Commission requested

comment regarding a spectrum etiquette

for operation in the 59–64 GHz band.

The Commission provided one year for

a spectrum etiquette to be submitted

and encouraged industry to form a

working group to develop a spectrum

etiquette to permit efficient use of the

59–64 GHz band. In response, the

Millimeter Wave Communications

Working Group (MWCWG) was formed

and proposed a Spectrum Etiquette for

equipment operating in the 59–64 GHz

band. The MWCWG proposed Spectrum

Etiquette can be accessed at [http://

www.fcc.gov/oet/dockets/et94–124/].

MWCWG seeks adoption of its proposal

to permit efficient use of the spectrum

by enabling greater frequency reuse and

lowering the probability of interference.
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 166 / Wednesday, August 27, 1997 / Proposed Rules 45381

2. The 4th NPRM seeks comment on

a proposed spectrum etiquette for

unlicensed services in the 59–64 GHz

frequency band. The proposed spectrum

etiquette seeks to: (1) Establish a

coordination channel located at 59.0–

59.05 GHz to be used exclusively to

establish techniques that various

transmitters could use to help mitigate

or eliminate interference; (2) establish a

format for transmitter identification by

requiring a 60 GHz transmitter with an

output power of 0.1 mW or more to

transmit information that contains the

FCC ID number, the serial number of the

transmitter, and a user definable field of

up to 24 bytes of information; (3) adopt

a limit for peak equivalent isotropically

radiated power of 20 W for 60 GHz

transmitters; (4) limit the peak

transmitter output power to 500 mW;

and (5) limit the peak transmitter output

power for transmitters employing a 6 dB

bandwidth of less than 100 MHz, as

measured with a 100 kHz resolution

bandwidth spectrum analyzer,

according to the following formula: P ≤

500 [bandwidth in MHz/100] mW.

3. The Commission seeks comments

on whether it should adopt the

standards contained in the MWCWG

proposal. The Commission is

particularly interested in comments

regarding the proposed transmitter

identification requirements and the

designation of a coordination channel.

The Commission wishes to clarify,

however, that the reference in the

MWCWG filing for ‘‘radiated power’’

actually refers to transmitter output

power.

4. Parties commenting on the

proposed peak limits and measurements

should be aware of the possible

application of a pulse desensitization

correction factor. Comments should be

directed towards the specific substance

contained in the proposed Spectrum

Etiquette and we remind parties that the

actual regulations adopted may differ

from those contained in the proposed

Spectrum Etiquette.

Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

5. Need for and Objective of the Rules.

This rule making proceeding is initiated

to obtain comments regarding the

proposed Spectrum Etiquette for general

unlicensed operation in the 59–64 GHz

band. The Commission seeks comment

on a spectrum etiquette proposed by the

Millimeter Wave Communications

Working Group for the purpose of

minimizing interference among general

unlicensed systems operating in the 59–

64 GHz band.

6. Legal Basis. The proposed action is

authorized under Sections 4(j), 301, 302,

303(e), 303(f), 303(g), 303(r), 304 and

307 of the Communications Act of 1934,

as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 301, 302,

303(e), 303(f), 303(g), 303(r), 304 and

307.

7. Reporting, Recordkeeping and

Other Compliance Requirements. We

propose to establish a spectrum

etiquette that would apply to and

minimize interference between general

unlicensed systems operating in the 59–

64 GHz band. The spectrum etiquette

will require measurements to be

reported to the Commission as part of

the normal equipment authorization

process under our certification

procedure.

8. Federal Rules Which Overlap,

Duplicate or Conflict With These Rules.

None.

9. Description, Potential Impact and

Number of Small Entities Involved. We

expect that multiple manufacturers will

manufacture transmitters to operate in

the 59–64 GHz band for fixed field

disturbance sensors and high speed

computer to computer transmission

systems.

10. Any Significant Alternatives

Minimizing the Impact on Small Entities

Consistent With Stated Objectives.

None.

RIN 1018–AE19

Supplemental Regulations for

Administration of Midway Atoll

National Wildlife Refuge

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service (Service) proposes supplemental

regulations to provide for the

administration of the Midway Islands

and Midway Atoll National Wildlife

Refuge. Under the provisions of

Executive Order 13022 of October 31,

1996, the Midway Islands were

transferred from the jurisdiction and

control of the Department of the Navy

to the Department of the Interior for

administration as a national wildlife

refuge by the Service. 61 FR 56875

(1996). The proposed regulations would

supplement existing regulations in 50

CFR Parts 25–32 which also apply to

Midway Atoll National Refuge.

DATES: Comments may be submitted on

or before October 27, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Regional Director, Region 1,

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, (ARW/

OPR), 911 NE 11th. Ave., Portland, OR

97232–4181.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mark Strong, U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service (ARW/OPR), Telephone (503)

231–2075.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Secretary of the Interior is authorized

under the National Wildlife Refuge

System Administration Act to permit

uses of units of the National Wildlife

Refuge System which he determines are

compatible with the purposes for which

the unit was established as a refuge. 16

U.S.C. 668dd(d)(1). Executive Order

13022 of October 31, 1996, vests in the

Secretary of the Interior legislative and

executive authority necessary for the

administration of the Midway Islands as

the Midway Atoll National Wildlife

Refuge.

The purposes of part 38 are to provide

supplemental regulations for the

administration of Midway Atoll

National Wildlife Refuge in addition to

those contained in 50 CFR Parts 25–32;

and to delegate certain powers, duties,

and responsibilities to appropriate

officers of the Service for the

administration of Midway Atoll

National Wildlife Refuge.

The National Wildlife Refuge System

Administration Act (NWRSAA) of 1966,

as amended (16 U.S.C. 668dd), and the

Refuge Recreation Act (RRA) of 1962 (16

U.S.C. 460k) govern the administration

and use of national wildlife refuges.

Specifically, Section 4(d)(1)(A) of the

NWRSAA authorizes the Secretary of

the Interior, under such regulations as

he may prescribe, to permit the use of

any area within the Refuge System for

any purpose, including but not limited

to, fishing and public recreation,

accommodations and access, whenever

he determines that such uses are

compatible with the major purpose(s)

for which the area was established.

Section 48 of the Hawaii Omnibus Act,

74 Stat. 424, provides for the civil

administration of Midway Island by the

agencies and officials authorized by the

President. The President has authorized

administration of the Midway Atoll

National Wildlife Refuge by the

Secretary of the Interior through the
