          - 47 CFR Part 15
          - [ET Docket No. 13-49; FCC 14-30]

# AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

# ACTION:

Correcting amendment.

# SUMMARY:

                        On April 1, 2014, the Commission released a Report and Order, “Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) Devices in the 5 GHz Band.” This document contains corrections to the final regulations for “Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) Devices in the 5 GHz Band” that appeared in the                         **Federal Register**                         on May 1, 2014 (79 FR 24569).                    

# DATES:

Effective December 23, 2014.

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

                        Aole Wilkins, Office of Engineering and Technology, (202) 418-2406 or email                         *Aole.Wilkins@fcc.gov.*

#                     SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:                          ( print page 76903)    

## Background

The final regulations that are the subject of this correction relates to “Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) Devices in the 5 GHz Band” under § 15.407(a)(1).

## Need for Correction

As published, the revised text in the final regulations contains errors that are misleading and need immediate correction.

# List of Subjects in 47 CFR Part 15

      - Communications equipment
      - Radio

Accordingly, 47 CFR part 15 is corrected by making the following correcting amendment:

# PART 15—RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES

1. The authority citation for part 15 continues to read as follows: 

Authority:47 U.S.C. 154, 302a, 303, 304, 307, 336, 544a, and 549.

2. Section 15.407 is amended by revising paragraph (a)(1)(iii) to read as follows: 

§ 15.407 

(a) * * *

(1) * * *

(iii) For fixed point-to-point access points operating in the band 5.15-5.25 GHz, the maximum conducted output power over the frequency band of operation shall not exceed 1 W. In addition, the maximum power spectral density shall not exceed 17 dBm in any 1 megahertz band. Fixed point-to-point U-NII devices may employ antennas with directional gain up to 23 dBi without any corresponding reduction in the maximum conducted output power or maximum power spectral density. For fixed point-to-point transmitters that employ a directional antenna gain greater than 23 dBi, a 1 dB reduction in maximum conducted output power and maximum power spectral density is required for each 1 dB of antenna gain in excess of 23 dBi. Fixed, point-to-point operations exclude the use of point-to-multipoint systems, omnidirectional applications, and multiple collocated transmitters transmitting the same information. The operator of the U-NII device, or if the equipment is professionally installed, the installer, is responsible for ensuring that systems employing high gain directional antennas are used exclusively for fixed, point-to-point operations.
