307, 336, and 544A. 

2. Section 15.3 is amended by adding 

a new paragraph (hh) to read as follows: 

§ 15.3 Definitions. 

* * * * * 

(hh) Wireless Audio Device. An 

intentional radiator that is used to 

transmit voice, music or other audio 

material over a short distance. 

Transmissions may be either analog or 

digital. Data transmissions are not 

permitted except for short strings such 

as recognition codes necessary to ensure 

the functionality of a system. 

Transmission of audio material to the 

public switched telephone network and 

private and commercial wireless 

systems and networks is not permitted. 

3. A new § 15.238 added to read as 

follows: 

§ 15.238 Operation in the bands 54–72 

MHz, 76–88 MHz, 174–216 MHz, 470–608 

MHz and 614–698 MHz. 

(a) Operation under this section is 

limited to wireless audio devices as 

defined in § 15.3(hh). 

(b) Operation is limited to locations 

removed from existing co-channel TV 

broadcast stations by not less than the 

following distances. See § 73.609 for 

zone definitions. 

(1) 54.000–72.000 MHz and 76.000– 

88.000 MHz: 

(i) Zone I 105 km (65 miles)

frequencies may be combined to form a 

channel whose maximum bandwidth 

shall not exceed 200 kHz. The operating 

bandwidth shall not exceed 200 kHz. 

(3) The frequency tolerance of the 

carrier signal shall be maintained within 

+/¥0.005% of the operating frequency 

over a temperature variation of ¥20 

degrees to +50 degrees C at normal 

supply voltage, and for a variation in the 

primary supply voltage from 85% to 

115% of the rated supply voltage at a 

temperature of 20 degrees C. Battery 

operated equipment shall be tested 

using a new battery. 

(d) The unmodulated carrier power at 

the antenna input may not exceed 50 

mW. 

(e) The mean power of out-of-band 

emissions must comply with the

opportunities offered by evolving 

electronic media technologies while at 

the same time protecting children from 

the risks inherent in use of these 

technologies. 

DATES: Comments are due February 24, 

2010; reply comments are due 

March 26, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We have 

received two requests for an extension 

of time in which to file comments and 

reply comments in response to the 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
3694 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 14 / Friday, January 22, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

Commission’s NOI. The first request 

was filed December 29, 2009 by the 

Association of National Advertisers, the 

American Advertising Federation, the 

American Association of Advertising 

Agencies, the Direct Marketing 

Association, the Interactive Advertising 

Bureau, and the Promotion Marketing 

Association. The second request for an 

extension of time was filed January 7, 

2010 by the Children’s Food and 

Beverage Advertising Initiative and the 

Children’s Advertising Review Unit of 

the Council of Better Business Bureaus, 

Inc. Both filings request that the 

comment and reply comment dates be 

extended by thirty days each in order to 

permit preparation of full responses to 

the multiple issues raised in this 

proceeding, particularly in light of the 

intervening year-end holidays that fell 

in the middle of the current comment 

period. The NOI was released on 

October 23, 2009 and was published in 

the Federal Register on November 24, 

2009. The comment date was set at 60 

days after Federal Register publication 

(i.e., by January 25, 2010), and the reply 

comment date was set at 90 days after 

Federal Register publication (i.e., by 

February 24, 2010). 

We believe that granting the requests 

for extension of time will facilitate the 

compilation of a more complete record 

in this proceeding. We conclude, 

therefore, that doing so is in the public 

interest. Accordingly, parties will have 

until Wednesday, February 24, 2010 to 

file comments and until Friday, 

March 26, 2010 to file reply comments. 

Accordingly, it is ordered that, 

pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j) and 5(c) of 

the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 154(j), and 

155(c), and Sections 0.61, 0.283, and 

1.46 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 

0.61, 0.283, and 1.46, the date for filing 

comments and reply comments in 

response to the NOI in this proceeding 

are extended to February 24, 2010 and 

March 26, 2010, respectively.

Licenses, the tentative selectee in 

Auction 79 and applicant for a new FM 

station on Channel 268C3 at Peach 

Springs, Arizona, proposes a minor 

modification from Channel 268C3 at 

Peach Springs to Channel 267C2 at 

Oatman, Arizona. To retain a first local 

service at Peach Springs and to 

accommodate a first local service at 

Oatman, the Notice of Proposed Rule 

Making proposes the allotment of 

Channel 281C3 at Peach Springs. 

This document does not contain 

proposed information collection 

requirements subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–

contain any proposed information 

collection burden ’’for small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 

employees,’’ pursuant to the Small 

Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, 

Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(4). 

Provisions of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980 do not apply to 

this proceeding. 

Members of the public should note 

that from the time a Notice of Proposed 

Rule Making is issued until the matter 

is no longer subject to Commission 

consideration or court review, all ex 

parte contacts are prohibited in 

Commission proceedings, such as this 

one, which involve channel allotments. 

See 47 CFR Section 1.1204(b) for rules 

governing permissible ex parte contact.

procedures for comments, see 47 CFR
