Synopsis 

In the Public Notice, the Office of 

Engineering and Technology invites 

comments in connection with the 

remand by the United States Court of 

Appeals for the District of Columbia 

Circuit of the Commission’s 6 GHz 

Report and Order. On February 22, 

2022, the court issued its mandate. 

The Commission’s 6 GHz Report and 

Order ‘‘open[ed up] the entire 6 GHz 

band [(5.925–7.125 GHz)] for unlicensed 

indoor lower power access points.’’ The 

Commission found that ‘‘[t]hese access 

points will be ideal for connecting 

devices in homes and businesses such 

[as] smartphones, tablet devices, 

laptops, and Internet-of-Things devices 

to the Internet.’’ The Commission 

adopted several requirements to 

‘‘protect the various incumbent-licensed 

services in the band, including fixed 

microwave services, various other fixed 

and mobile services, and fixed-satellite 

services.’’ 

Among other things, the 6 GHz Report 

and Order required that the operation of 

devices relying on indoor low power 

access points be: ‘‘(1) limited to indoor 

operation’’ whereby ‘‘the signals 

transmitted by these unlicensed devices 

will be significantly attenuated when 

passing through the walls of 

buildings[;]’’ ‘‘(2) required to use a 

contention-based protocol,’’ such as a 

‘‘listen before talk . . . scheme[;]’’ and 

‘‘(3) subject to low-power operation,’’ 

which, as relevant here, means ‘‘a 

maximum radiated power spectral 

density of 5 dBm per 1 megahertz.’’ The 

Commission concluded that ‘‘the[se] 

restrictions and requirements . . . for 

indoor use of low power access points 

eliminat[e] any significant risk of 

causing harmful interference.’’ 

Petitioners representing licensed 

commercial wireless service providers, 

electric utilities, public safety entities, 

and broadcasters operating in the 6 GHz 

band sought judicial review, asserting 

that the 6 GHz Report and Order 

contravened the Communications Act of 

1934, as amended, and the 

Administrative Procedure Act. 

The D.C. Circuit largely rejected these 

challenges. Holding that ‘‘petitioners 

have failed to provide a basis for 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2022 / Notices 24303 

questioning the Commission’s 

conclusion that the [6 GHz Report and 

Order] will protect against a significant 

risk of harmful interference,’’ the court 

‘‘den[ied] the petitions for review in all 

respects save one.’’ 

The one issue as to which the court 

granted review involved a claim by the 

National Association of Broadcasters 

(NAB) ‘‘that because mobile operators 

frequently work indoors, the provisions 

of the [6 GHz Report and Order] 

designed to restrict low-power routers to 

indoor operation offer mobile licensees 

little protection’’, and that therefore, the 

Commission should have ‘‘reserve[d] a 

sliver of [the 6 GHz] band exclusively 

for mobile licensees.’’ In support of its 

claim, NAB argued that ‘‘after the 

Commission allowed unlicensed access 

in the 2.4 GHz band, ‘a contention-based 

protocol . . . failed to protect . . . 

licensed users[,] rendering that band 

partially unusable.’ ’’ 

The court ruled that ‘‘[t]he 

Commission never responded to 

[NAB’s] complaints about interference 

in the 2.4 GHz band,’’ and that 

‘‘[a]lthough the Commission cited a 

study to support its conclusion that the 

[6 GHz Report and Order] sufficiently 

protects mobile operators, that study 

does not rebut the Association’s claims 

about interference in the 2.4 GHz band.’’ 

The court nevertheless declined to 

vacate the 6 GHz Report and Order, 

observing that ‘‘ ‘[i]t is conceivable that 

the Commission may be able to explain’ 

why its experience in the 2.4 GHz band 

supports its ability to protect licensed 

mobile operators from harmful 

interference’’ and agreeing with the 

Commission that ‘‘ ‘vacating this order 

would be incredibly disruptive given 

the fact that devices have already started 

to be deployed . . . .’ ’’ 

In the Public Notice, the Office of 

Engineering and Technology seeks 

comment on NAB’s arguments in the 

Commission’s proceeding regarding 

broadcasters’ experience in the 2.4 GHz 

band, how that experience relates to the 

kinds of contention-based protocol 

operations prescribed for indoor use in 

the 6 GHz rules, and whether the 2.4 

GHz experience warrants reservation of 

a portion of the 6 GHz band for mobile 

indoor operations or any other 

modification to the Commission’s 6 GHz 

rules. The Office of Engineering and 

Technology emphasizes that, in light of 

the limited scope of the court’s remand, 

it does not seek comment on any other 

aspects of the 6 GHz Report and Order. 

Interested parties may file comments 

and reply comments on or before the 

dates indicated on the first page of this

Ex Parte Rules. The proceeding this 

Notice initiates shall be treated as a 

‘‘permit-but-disclose’’ proceeding in 

accordance with the Commission’s ex 

parte rules. Persons making ex parte 

presentations must file a copy of any 

written presentation or a memorandum 

summarizing any oral presentation 

within two business days after the 

presentation (unless a different deadline 

applicable to the Sunshine period 

applies). Persons making oral ex parte 

presentations are reminded that 

memoranda summarizing the 

presentation must (1) list all persons 

attending or otherwise participating in 

the meeting at which the ex parte 

presentation was made, and (2) 

summarize all data presented and 

arguments made during the 

presentation. If the presentation 

consisted in whole or in part of the 

presentation of data or arguments 

already reflected in the presenter’s 

written comments, memoranda or other 

filings in the proceeding, the presenter 

may provide citations to such data or 

arguments in his or her prior comments, 

memoranda, or other filings (specifying 

the relevant page and/or paragraph 

numbers where such data or arguments 

can be found) in lieu of summarizing 

them in the memorandum. Documents 

shown or given to Commission staff 

during ex parte meetings are deemed to 

be written ex parte presentations and 

must be filed consistent with § 1.1206(b) 

of the Commission’s rule. In 

proceedings governed by § 1.49(f) of the 

Commission’s rule or for which the 

Commission has made available a 

method of electronic filing, written ex 

parte presentations and memoranda 

summarizing oral ex parte 

presentations, and all attachments 

thereto, must be filed through the 

electronic comment filing system 

available for that proceeding, and must 

be filed in their native format (e.g., .doc, 

.xml, .ppt, searchable .pdf). Participants 

in this proceeding should familiarize 

themselves with the Commission’s ex 

parte rules.
