Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 27, 2005 / Proposed Rules
List of Subjects in 47 CFR Part 73 Radio, Radio broadcasting. For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Federal Communications Commission proposes to amend 47 CFR part 73 as follows: PART 73—RADIO BROADCAST SERVICES 1. The authority citation for Part 73 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 47 U.S.C. 154, 303, 334, and 336. § 73.202 [Amended]
Comments must be filed on or before May 31, 2005, and reply comments on or before June 14, 2005.
Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., Room TW–A325, Washington, DC 20554. In addition to filing comments with the FCC, interested parties should serve Petitioner’s counsel, as follows: Stephen Diaz Gavin, Esq, Patton Boggs LLP; 2550 M Street, NW.; Washington, DC 20037. R. Barthen Gorman, Media Bureau, (202) 418–2180.
This is a synopsis of the Commission’s Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 05–162, adopted April 6, 2005 and released April 8, 2005. The full text of this Commission decision is available for inspection and copying during regular business hours in the FCC’s Reference Information Center at Portals II, 445 12th Street, SW., CY–A257, Washington, DC 20554. This document may also be purchased from the Commission’s duplicating contractors, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., Portals II, 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY–B402, Washington, DC 20554, telephone 1– 800–378–3160 or http:// www.BCPIWEB.com. This document does not contain proposed information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. In addition, therefore, it does not 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). FM Station WWOD was granted a license to specify operation on Channel 282C3 in lieu of Channel 282A at Hartford, Vermont. (See BLH– 19960919KA.) The FM Table of Allotments does not reflect this change. The 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 1.1204(b) for rules governing permissible ex parte contacts. For information regarding proper filing procedures for comments, see 47 CFR 1.415 and 1.420.
2. Section 73.202(b), the Table of FM Allotments under New Hampshire, is amended by adding Enfield, Channel 282A. 3. Section 73.202(b), the Table of FM allotments under New York, is amended by removing Channel 231A and adding Channel 282C3 at Keeseville; and adding Morrisonville, Channel 231A. 4. Section 73.202(b), the Table of FM Allotments under Vermont, is amended by removing Channel 282A and adding Channel 237A at Hartford; removing White River Junction, Channel 237A.

12.5 kHz bandwidth operations in order to permit use of more spectrally efficient technologies; (e) Proposals made by the Public Safety National Coordination Committee (NCC) asking that the Commission: • Adopt a 700 MHz wideband data standard; • Require wideband mobile and portable radios be capable of operating on all the wideband interoperability channels using the wideband data standard; • Update the interoperability standards set forth at Section 90.548 of the Commission’s rules to reflect updated industry standards; • Update the encryption standards set forth at Section 90.553(e) of the Commission’s rules to reflect updated industry standards; and • Adopt minimum signal strength design criteria for public safety systems operating in the 700 MHz Public Safety Band. (f) A tentative conclusion not to adopt the following NCC proposals: • Requiring the use of standard channel nomenclature for interoperability channels; • Requiring mobile and portable units certificated for use under part 90 of the rules be capable of displaying standardized interoperability channel labels alphanumerically if the radios are equipped with alphanumeric displays; • Revising the term ‘‘State Interoperability Executive Committee’’ to ‘‘Statewide Interoperability Executive Committee’’; • Mandating the use of State Interoperability Executive Committees; and extend their jurisdiction to interoperability channels in all public safety bands; and • Making certain procedural changes to the Commission’s review of 700 MHz regional plans; (g) Clarifications to the trunking requirement of Section 90.537 of the Commission’s rules. I. Procedural Matters A. Ex Parte Rules—Permit-But-Disclose Proceeding 2. This is a permit-but-disclose notice and comment rulemaking proceeding. Ex parte presentations are permitted, except during the Sunshine Agenda period, provided they are disclosed as provided in the Commission’s rules. B. Filing Procedures 3.

Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 8. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), the Commission has prepared an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) of the possible significant economic impact on small entities of the policies and rules proposed in this Seventh Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Written public comments are requested regarding this IRFA. Comments must be identified as responses to the IRFA and must be filed by the deadlines for comments on the Seventh Notice of Proposed Rulemaking provided in paragraph 3. The Commission will send a copy of the Seventh Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, including this IRFA, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration. In addition, the Seventh Notice and Proposed Rulemaking and IRFA (or summaries thereof) will be published in the Federal Register. Need for, and Objectives of, the Proposed Rules 9. In the Seventh Notice and Proposed Rulemaking, we seek comment on: • The TIA–PRS proposal recommending: —Adopting tables describing ACP limits for 50 kHz and 100 kHz wideband operations;
describe and estimate the number of small entity licensees and regulatees that may be affected by the proposed rules, if adopted. 12. Governmental Entities. The term ‘‘small governmental jurisdiction’’ is defined as ‘‘governments of cities, towns, townships, villages, school districts, or special districts, with a population of less than fifty thousand.’’ As of 1997, there were approximately 87,453 governmental jurisdictions in the United States. This number includes 39,044 county governments, municipalities, and townships, of which 37,546 (approximately 96.2%) have populations of fewer than 50,000, and of which 1,498 have populations of 50,000 or more. Thus, we estimate the number of small governmental jurisdictions overall to be 84,098 or fewer. 13. Public Safety Radio Licensees. As a general matter, Public Safety Radio Pool licensees include police, fire, local government, forestry conservation, highway maintenance, and emergency medical services. The SBA rules contain a definition for cellular and other wireless telecommunications companies which encompasses business entities engaged in radiotelephone communications employing no more that 1,500 persons. There are a total of approximately 127,540 licensees within these services. With respect to local governments, in particular, since many governmental entities as well as private businesses comprise the licensees for these services, we include under public safety services the number of government entities affected. 14. Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturers. The SBA has established a small business size standard for radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing. Under the standard, firms are considered small if they have 750 or fewer employees. Census Bureau data for 1997 indicates that, for that year, there were a total of 1,215 establishments in this category. Of those, there were 1,150 that had employment under 500, and an additional 37 that had employment of 500 to 999. The Commission estimates that the majority of wireless communications equipment manufacturers are small businesses. Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping and Other Compliance Requirements 15. This Seventh Notice of Proposed Rulemaking does not propose a rule that will entail reporting, recordkeeping, and/or third-party consultation. The rule changes proposed in the Seventh Notice of Proposed Rulemaking provide technical adjustments to the Commission’s existing requirements for Adjacent Channel Power or update the Commission’s existing requirements to reference the latest industry standards. Steps Taken To Minimize Significant Economic Impact on Small Entities and Significant Alternatives Considered 16. The RFA requires an agency to describe any significant alternatives that it has considered in reaching its proposed approach, which may include the following four alternatives (among others): (1) The establishment of differing compliance or reporting requirements or timetables that take into account the resources available to small entities; (2) the clarification, consolidation, or simplification of compliance or reporting requirements under the rule for small entities; (3) the use of performance, rather than design, standards; and (4) an exemption from coverage of the rule, or any part thereof, for small entities. We believe the rule changes contained in this Seventh Notice of Proposed Rulemaking are technologically neutral and do not impact small entities differently than large entities. Federal Rules That May Duplicate, Overlap, or Conflict With the Proposed Rules 17. None. II. Ordering Clauses 18. Pursuant to applicable procedures set forth in Sections 1.415 and 1.419 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 CFR 1.415, 1.419; interested parties may file comments on the Seventh Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on or before May 27, 2005, and reply comments on or before June 13, 2005. 19. It is further ordered, that the Commission’s Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, Reference Information Center, shall send a copy of this Seventh Notice of Proposed Rulemaking including the Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration.

—Relaxing the ACP requirement in the paired receive band for wideband and narrowband base station transmitters; and —Extending the above mentioned rules to the 700 MHz Guard Band channels. • The proposal by Access Spectrum that the Commission clarify that the 700 MHz Guard Band emission requirements masks only at the boundaries of the 700 MHz Guard Band’s licensee’s authorized allocation. • The joint proposal from Nortel/EDS that the Commission adopts ACP requirements that correspond to any authorized bandwidth. • The proposals by National Coordination Committee (NCC) that the Commission: —Adopt a 700 MHz wideband standard; —Update the interoperability standards set forth at Section 90.548 of the Commission’s rules; —Update the encryption standards set forth at Section 90.535(e) of the Commission’s rules; and —Adopt minimum signal strength requirements for public safety systems operating in the 700 MHz Public Safety band. Legal Basis 10. Authority for issuance of this item is contained in Sections 1, 4(i), 7, 301, 302, 303, and 337 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 157, 301, 302, 303, 337. Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities To Which the Rules Will Apply 11. The RFA directs agencies to provide a description of and, where feasible, an estimate of the number of small entities that may be affected by the rules adopted. The RFA generally defines the term ‘‘small entity’’ as having the same meaning as the terms ‘‘small business,’’ ‘‘small organization,’’ and ‘‘small governmental jurisdiction.’’ In addition, the term ‘‘small business’’ has the same meaning as the term ‘‘small business concern’’ under the Small Business Act. 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). A small organization is generally ‘‘any not-forprofit enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.’’ Nationwide, as of 1992, there were approximately 275,801 small organizations.
