33 CFR Part 117

[CGD11–01–001]

Drawbridge Operation Regulations;

Sacramento River, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation

from regulations.

SUMMARY: The Commander, Eleventh

Coast Guard District has approved a

temporary deviation to the regulations

governing the opening of the Meridian

drawbridge, mile 135.5, over the

Sacramento River at Meridian, CA. The

approval specifies that the drawbridge

need not open for vessel traffic from

January 15 through March 14, 2001. The

drawbridge can operate on 24 hours

advance notice in the event of an

emergency. The purpose of this

deviation is to allow the California

Department of Transportation to

perform essential maintenance on the

bridge.

DATES: Effective period of the deviation

is 12 a.m. January 15, 2001, through 12

p.m. March 14, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

David H. Sulouff, Chief, Bridge Section,

Eleventh Coast Guard District, Building

50–6, Coast Guard Island, Alameda, CA

94501–5100, phone (510) 437–3516.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Meridian drawbridge, mile 135.5, over

the Sacramento River at Meridian, CA

provides 10.3 feet vertical clearance

above High Water when closed. Vessels

that can pass under the bridge without

an opening may do so at all times. This

deviation has been coordinated with

navigation on the waterway. The

drawbridge has not been requested to

open for navigation for approximately

five years. No objections were received.

The normal drawbridge regulation

requires the bridge to open on signal if

at least 12 hours advance notice is

given.

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c),

this work will be performed with all due

speed in order to return the bridge to

normal operation as soon as possible.

This deviation from the normal

operating regulations in 33 CFR

117.189(b) is authorized in accordance

with the provisions of 33 CFR 117.35.

Dated: January 12, 2001.

47 CFR Parts 2 and 15

[ET Docket No. 99–261; FCC 00–442]

50.2–71 GHz Realignment

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: In this document we realign

allocations in the 50.2–50.4 GHz and

51.4–71 GHz frequency bands. This

action continues our efforts to facilitate

the commercialization of the

‘‘millimeter wave’’ spectrum. Until

recently, commercial use of this

spectrum was not economically viable.

However, recent technological advances

make this spectrum increasingly usable

for commercial services and products.

Therefore, we have reexamined

potential uses of this spectrum and how

best it can be allocated to further the

public interest. The realignment of

allocations that we adopt today will

meet current demands for spectrum in

this frequency range and is consistent

with the international allocation

changes the United States sought and

obtained at the 1997 World

Radiocommunication Conference.

DATES: Effective February 22, 2001.

However, the Table of Frequency

Allocation, page 81, United States

Table, the non-Federal Government

inter-satellite service (‘‘ISS’’) allocation

in the 65–71 GHz band is applicable

January 23, 2001.

Mooring, Office of Engineering and

Technology, (202) 418–2450.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a

summary of the Commission’s Report

and Order in ET Docket No. 99–261,

FCC 00–442, adopted December 19,

2000, and released December 22, 2000.

Summary of the Report and Order

A. Allocation Changes

1. We are providing a net increase of

2.27 gigahertz of spectrum allocated on

a primary basis to the fixed and mobile

services. This spectrum will be shared

by Federal agencies and non-Federal

Government licensees. Specifically, we

allocate the 51.4–52.6 GHz and 58.2–59

GHz bands to the Federal and nonFederal Government fixed and mobile

services, allocate the 64–66 GHz band to

the Federal and non-Federal

Government fixed and mobile except

aeronautical mobile services, and delete

the Federal and non-Federal

Government fixed and mobile services

from the 50.2–50.4 GHz and 54.25–

55.78 GHz bands. We anticipate that

much of this spectrum will be used by

mobile service licensees to connect their

base stations together and to connect

their systems to other systems.

2. We are also providing separate ISS

allocations for Federal agencies and for

non-Federal Government

(‘‘commercial’’) licensees. Specifically,

we allocate the 65–71 GHz band to the

non-Federal Government ISS and delete

the non-Federal Government ISS

allocation from the 56.9–57 GHz and

59–64 GHz bands. We also allocate the

64–65 GHz band to the Federal

Government ISS. The net result of the

ISS allocations and deletions is an

increase of 0.9 GHz for commercial ISS

and 1 GHz for Federal ISS. The

remaining ISS allocations in this

frequency range (54.25–56.9 GHz and

57–58.2 GHz) will be available for both

Federal and commercial use. These ISS

allocations will provide satellite

licensees with the spectrum they need

to interconnect satellites within their

respective networks. The use of intersatellite links are expected to make

satellite networks more efficient,

resulting in the provision of more

enhanced services like video telephony,

medical and technical tele-imaging,

high speed data networks and

‘‘bandwidth on demand’’ to consumers.

In addition, the use of inter-satellite

links will enable satellite licensees to

provide more efficient interconnections

between their service areas.

3. To provide spectrum for the above

services, we are reducing the net

amount of spectrum allocated to the

Earth exploration-satellite (passive) and

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 23, 2001 / Rules and Regulations 7403

1Passive sensor operations in the 54.25–59.3 GHz

band are protected by generally limiting the use of

the ISS allocations in this band to transmissions

between satellites in geostationary orbit and by

limiting the energy that can reach the passive

sensor satellites, which operate much closer to the

Earth’s surface.

space research (passive) services by 1.9

gigahertz and are reducing the amount

of spectrum allocated to the radio

astronomy service by 4.65 gigahertz.

According to the National

Telecommunications and Information

Administration (‘‘NTIA’’), the deleted

space research (passive) and radio

astronomy allocations are unused and

unneeded and the deleted Earth

exploration-satellite (passive)

allocations are unneeded. In sum, the

realignment provides a significant

increase in spectrum for fixed, mobile,

and inter-satellite services and

unlicensed devices, while improving

the operation of passive sensors in the

Earth exploration-satellite service

(‘‘EESS’’).1

B. Additional Spectrum for Unlicensed

Devices

4. We are also making the 57–59 GHz

band available for use by Part 15

unlicensed devices. This 2 gigahertz of

spectrum and the existing Part 15

unlicensed band at 59–64 GHz will

operate under the same technical rules.

We anticipate that this additional

unlicensed spectrum (used either

separately or in conjunction with the

59–64 GHz band) will be useful for very

high speed and/or high bandwidth

communications over short distances

and for networking backbone purposes

in congested areas.

5. Because we are expanding the

current spectrum etiquette to the 57–59

GHz band, we believe it is appropriate

to modify Section 15.255 of our rules.

Specifically, Section 15.255(d) reserves

the 59–59.05 GHz segment for specific

purposes—spurious emissions and a

publicly-accessible coordination

channel. To enable users unfettered

access to contiguous spectrum between

57 GHz and 64 GHz, we move the

coordination channel from 59–59.05

GHz to 57–57.05 GHz. This will

preserve the goals of setting aside 50

megahertz of spectrum to allow

techniques for mitigating or eliminating

interference that may occur between

different unlicensed transmitters

operating in the same frequency band

and will provide flexibility in channel

widths for unlicensed devices. This

change should not affect any existing

operations because no unlicensed

equipment has been authorized to

operate in the 59–64 GHz band.

Accordingly, we are revising Section

15.255(g) of our Rules to reflect this

decision.

6. In addition, we are modifying the

transmitter identification requirement to

protect the systems for which it was

designed, i.e., transmissions that

emanate from inside a building. This

minor alteration should protect indoor

systems from interference, while not

unnecessarily burdening outdoor

systems that pose little interference

threat to indoor systems or other

outdoor systems. Indoor equipment will

be required to have the ID because

indoor equipment is under the control

of the system operator. The system

operator knows its equipment and thus

can decode the ID information and find

out which transmitter is interfering with

the rest of its system. In contrast, the

victim of interference from outdoor

equipment would not be able to

determine the identity of the

manufacturer and thus, the victim could

not decode the ID. This spectrum is

likely to be used for point-to-point

operations and thus this is not likely to

be a problem. Expanding the spectrum

etiquette for the 59–64 GHz band to the

57–59 GHz and modifying it as

discussed above makes the 57–59 GHz

band available immediately without

burdening it with potentially

unnecessary regulatory requirements.

Final Regulatory Flexibility

Certification

8. This Report and Order finalizes the

spectrum realignment proposed in the

Notice of Proposed Rule Making

(‘‘Notice’’) issued by the Commission in

July of 1999.2 We received no comments

in response to the Initial Regulatory

Flexibility Analysis in the Notice. The

Regulatory Flexibility Act (‘‘RFA’’) 3

requires that a regulatory flexibility

analysis be prepared for rulemaking

proceedings, unless the agency certifies

that ‘‘the rule will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities.’’ 4 The RFA

generally defines ‘‘small entity’’ as

having the same meaning as the terms

‘‘small business,’’ ‘‘small organization,’’

and ‘‘small governmental jurisdiction.’’ 5

In addition, the term ‘‘small business’’

has the same meaning as the term

‘‘small business concern’’ under the

Small Business Act.6 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 Small Business

Administration (‘‘SBA’’).7

9. In this Report and Order, we realign

allocations in the frequency range 50.2–

71 GHz. One of the results of this

realignment is a net gain of 2.27

gigahertz of spectrum allocated on a

primary basis to the fixed and mobile

services. We also designate 2 gigahertz

of spectrum at 57–59 GHz for Part 15

unlicensed devices. We believe that this

net increase in fixed and mobile

spectrum and the designation of a new

unlicensed band will provide new

opportunities for small entities. In

addition, the realignment affects

allocations for the Earth explorationsatellite (passive), space research

(passive), radio astronomy, and intersatellite services. There are no small

entities affected by this action because

only Federal agencies currently make

use of these services. In addition, future

inter-satellite service licensees are not

expected to be small entities because of

the cost inherent in satellite networks.

Because the realignment adopted in this

Report and Order provides more

spectrum for future fixed and mobile

service licensees and for manufacturers

of future unlicensed devices and

because the realignment does not

impact any current non-Federal

Government users, we hereby certify

that the realignment will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

10. The Commission will send a copy

of this Report and Order, including a

copy of this final certification, in a

report to Congress pursuant to the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996.8 In addition, this

Report and Order and this certification

will be sent to the Chief Counsel for

Advocacy of the Small Business

Administration.9

11. Accordingly, It Is Ordered that

pursuant to Sections 4(i), 7(a), 303(c),

303(f), 303(g), and 303(r) of the

Communications Act of 1934, as

(1) The power density of any

emissions outside the 57–64 GHz band

shall consist solely of spurious

emissions.

* * * * *

(d) Only spurious emissions and

transmissions related to a publiclyaccessible coordination channel, whose

purpose is to coordinate operation

between diverse transmitters with a

view towards reducing the probability

of interference throughout the 57–64

GHz band, are permitted in the 57–57.05

GHz band.

Note to Paragraph (d): The 57–57.05 GHz

is reserved exclusively for a publiclyaccessible coordination channel. The

development of standards for this channel

shall be performed pursuant to

authorizations issued under part 5 of this

chapter.

(2) Peak transmitter output power

shall be measured with an RF detector

that has a detection bandwidth that

encompasses the 57–64 GHz band and

that has a video bandwidth of at least 10

MHz, or using an equivalent

measurement method.

(i) For all transmissions that emanate

from inside of a building, within any

one second interval of signal

transmission, each transmitter with a

peak output power equal to or greater

than 0.1 mW or a peak power density

equal to or greater than 3 nW/cm2, as

measured 3 meters from the radiating

structure, must transmit a transmitter

identification at least once. Each

application for equipment authorization

for equipment that will be used inside

of a building must declare that the

equipment contains the required

transmitter identification feature and

must specify a method whereby

interested parties can obtain sufficient

information, at no cost, to enable them

to fully detect and decode this

transmitter identification information.

Upon the completion of decoding, the

transmitter identification data block

must provide the following fields:
