Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 27, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
E. Final Regulatory Flexibility
Certification
6. The Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA) requires that an agency prepare a
regulatory flexibility analysis for noticeand-comment rulemaking proceedings,
unless the agency certifies that ‘‘the rule
will not, if promulgated, have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.’’
The RFA generally defines ‘‘small
entity’’ as having the same meaning as
the terms ‘‘small business,’’ ‘‘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).
7. In this Sixth Report and Order, we:
• Revise values in the emission limit
tables set forth at 47 CFR 90.543 to
ensure technological feasibility;
• Delete the column entitled
‘‘Maximum ACCP (dbm)’’ from the table
governing ACCP requirements for
mobile transmitter set forth at 47 CFR
90.543 because these values are
inconsistent with the Commission’s
decision not to require mobile
transmitters to utilize Automatic Power
Control;
• Change the terminology ‘‘Adjacent
Channel Coupled Power’’ to ‘‘adjacent
Channel Power’’ in our Rules to align
our rules with industry standards.
8. These changes, which are intended
to ensure that the Commission’s rules
reflect the latest technical and industry
standards, and to correct typographical
or ministerial errors in the
Commission’s Rules, are exclusively of
an administrative nature. The changes
will not have a significant economic
impact on small entities because they
are technologically neutral and will
affect all entities equally.
9. The Commission therefore certifies,
pursuant to the RFA, that the rule
changes contained proposals in this
Sixth Report and Order will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
10. The Commission will send a copy
of the Final Analysis including a copy
of this Final Regulatory Flexibility
Certification, to the Chief Counsel for
Advocacy of the SBA. This certification
will also be published in the Federal
Register.

(2) ACP measurement procedure. The
following procedures are to be followed
for making ACP transmitter
measurements. For time division
multiple access (TDMA) systems, the
measurements are to be made under
TDMA operation only during time slots
when the transmitter is on. All
measurements must be made at the
input to the transmitter’s antenna.
Measurement bandwidth used below
implies an instrument that measures the
power in many narrow bandwidths (e.g.,
300 Hz) and integrates these powers
across a larger band to determine power
in the measurement bandwidth.
(i) Setting reference level. Using a
spectrum analyzer capable of ACP
measurements, set the measurement
bandwidth to the channel size. For
example, for a 6.25 kHz transmitter, set
the measurement bandwidth to 6.25
kHz; for a 150 kHz transmitter, set the
measurement bandwidth to 150 kHz. Set
the frequency offset of the measurement
bandwidth to zero and adjust the center
frequency of the spectrum analyzer to
give the power level in the measurement
bandwidth. Record this power level in
dBm as the ‘‘reference power level’’.
(ii) Non-swept power measurement.
Using a spectrum analyzer capable of
ACP measurements, set the
measurement bandwidth as shown in
the tables above. Measure the ACP in
dBm. These measurements should be
made at maximum power. Calculate the
coupled power by subtracting the
measurements made in this step from
the reference power measured in the
previous step. The absolute ACP values
must be less than the values given in the
table for each condition above.
(iii) Swept power measurement. Set a
spectrum analyzer to 30 kHz resolution
bandwidth, 1 MHz video bandwidth
and sample mode detection. Sweep ±
MHz from the carrier frequency. Set the
reference level to the RMS value of the
transmitter power and note the absolute
power. The response at frequencies
greater than 600 kHz must be less than
the values in the tables above.
(3) Out-of-band emission limit. On
any frequency outside of the frequency
ranges covered by the ACP tables in this
section, the power of any emission must
be reduced below the unmodulated
E:\FR\FM\27APR1.SGM

21666
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 27, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
carrier power (P) by at least 43 + 10 log
(P) dB.
(4) Authorized bandwidth. Provided
that the ACP requirements of this
section are met, applicants may request
any authorized bandwidth that does not
exceed the channel size.

(b) ACP measurement procedure. The
following are the procedures for making
the transmitter ACP measurements. For
all measurements modulate the
transmitter as it would be modulated in
normal operating conditions. For time
division multiple access (TDMA)
systems, the measurements are to be
made under TDMA operation only
during time slots when the transmitter
is active. All measurements are made at
the transmitter’s output port. If a
transmitter has an integral antenna, a
suitable power coupling device shall be
used to couple the RF signal to the
measurement instrument. The coupling
device shall substantially maintain the
proper transmitter load impedance. The
ACP measurements may be made with
a spectrum analyzer capable of making
direct ACP measurements.
‘‘Measurement bandwidth’’, as used for
non-swept measurements, implies an
instrument that measures the power in
VerDate jul<14>2003
17:56 Apr 26, 2005
Jkt 205001
many narrow bandwidths equal to the
nominal resolution bandwidth and
integrates these powers to determine the
total power in the specified
measurement bandwidth.
(1) Setting reference level. Set
transmitter to maximum output power.
Using a spectrum analyzer capable of
ACP measurements, set the
measurement bandwidth to the channel
size. For example, for a 6.25 kHz
transmitter, set the measurement
bandwidth to 6.25 kHz; for a 150 kHz
transmitter, set the measurement
bandwidth to 150 kHz. Set the
frequency offset of the measurement
bandwidth to zero and adjust the center
frequency of the instrument to the
assigned center frequency to measure
the average power level of the
transmitter. Record this power level in
dBm as the ‘‘reference power level’’.
(2) Non-swept power measurement.
Using a spectrum analyzer capable of
ACP measurements, set the mesurement
bandwidth and frequency offset from
the assigned center frequency as shown
in the tables in § 90.543 (a) above. Any
value of resolution bandwidth may be
used as long as it does not exceed 2
percent of the specified measurement
bandwidth. Measure the power level in
dBm. These measurements should be
made at maximum power. Calculate
ACP by substracting the reference power
level measured in (b)(1) from the
measurements made in this step. The
absolute value of the calculated ACP
must be greater than or equal to the
absolute value of the ACP given in the
table for each condition above.
(3) Swept power measurement. Set a
spectrum analyzer to 30 kHz resolution
bandwidth, 1 MHz video bandwidth
and average, sample, or RMS detection.
Set the reference level of the spectrum
analyzer to the RMS value of the
transmitter power. Sweep above and
below the carrier frequency to the limits
defined in the tables. Calculate ACP by
substracting the reference power level
measured in (b)(1) from the
measurements made in this step. The
absolute value of the calculated ACP
must be greater than or equal to the
absolute value of the ACP given in the
table for each condition above.
(c) Out-of-band emission limit. On
any frequency outside of the frequency
ranges covered by the ACP tables in this
section, the power of any emission must
be reduced below the mean output
power (P) by at least 43 + 10log (P) dB
measured in a 100 kHz bandwidth for
frequencies less than 1 GHz, and in a 1
MHz bandwidth for frequencies greater
than 1 GHz.
(d) Authorized bandwidth. Provided
that the ACP requirements of this
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
21667
section are met, applicants may request
any authorized bandwidth that does not
exceed the channel size.
(e) For operations in the 764 to 776
MHz and 794 to 806 MHz bands, all
emissions including harmonics in the
band 1559–1610 MHz shall be limited to
¥70 dBW/MHz equivalent isotropically
radiated power (EIRP) for wideband
signals, and ¥80 dBW EIRP for discrete
emissions of less than 700 Hz
bandwidth. For the purpose of
equipment authorization, a transmitter
shall be tested with an antenna that is
representative of the type that will be
used with the equipment in normal
operation.
(f) When an emission outside of the
authorized bandwidth causes harmful
interference, the Commission may, at its
discretion, require greater attenuation
than specified in this section.

Communications Commission's Sixth Report and Order, FCC 05-9, adopted
January 5, 2005 and released on January 7, 2005. The full text of this
document is available for inspection and copying during normal business
hours in the FCC Reference Center, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC

1. In the Sixth Report and Order, the Commission takes the
following actions:
Changes the terminology used in Sections 90.543 and 27.53
of the Commission's rules from Adjacent Channel Coupled Power (ACCP) to
Adjacent Channel Power (ACP); and
Adopts recommended changes to the ACP limits in Sec.
90.543 and 27.53 of the Commission's rules.
I. Procedural Matters
A. Paperwork Reduction Act Analysis
2. The order does not contain any new or modified information
collection.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
3. A Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis has been prepared with
respect to the Sixth Report and Order and is set forth below.
C. Report to Congress
4. The Commission will send a copy of this Sixth Report and Order
in a report to be sent to Congress and the General Accounting Office
pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
D. Supplemental Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
5. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), a Final
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA) was incorporated in the Fifth
Report and Order in WT Docket 96-86. The Commission sought written
public comment on the proposals in the Fifth Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking.
[[Page 21664]]
E. Final Regulatory Flexibility Certification
6. The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) requires that an agency
prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis for notice-and-comment
rulemaking proceedings, unless the agency certifies that ``the rule
will not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.'' The RFA generally defines
``small entity'' as having the same meaning as the terms ``small
business,'' ``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).
7. In this Sixth Report and Order, we:
Revise values in the emission limit tables set forth at 47
CFR 90.543 to ensure technological feasibility;
Delete the column entitled ``Maximum ACCP (dbm)'' from the
table governing ACCP requirements for mobile transmitter set forth at
47 CFR 90.543 because these values are inconsistent with the
Commission's decision not to require mobile transmitters to utilize
Automatic Power Control;
Change the terminology ``Adjacent Channel Coupled Power''
to ``adjacent Channel Power'' in our Rules to align our rules with
industry standards.
8. These changes, which are intended to ensure that the
Commission's rules reflect the latest technical and industry standards,
and to correct typographical or ministerial errors in the Commission's
Rules, are exclusively of an administrative nature. The changes will
not have a significant economic impact on small entities because they
are technologically neutral and will affect all entities equally.
9. The Commission therefore certifies, pursuant to the RFA, that
the rule changes contained proposals in this Sixth Report and Order
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
10. The Commission will send a copy of the Final Analysis including
a copy of this Final Regulatory Flexibility Certification, to the Chief
Counsel for Advocacy of the SBA. This certification will also be
published in the Federal Register.
II. Ordering Clauses
11. Pursuant to Sections 4(i), 303(f), 332, 337 and 405 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 303(f), 332,
337 and 405 this Sixth Report and Order is hereby adopted.
12. It is further ordered that the amendments of the Commission's
Rules as set forth in Rule Changes are adopted May 27, 2005.
13. It is further ordered, that the Commission's Consumer and
Governmental Affairs Bureau, Reference Information Center, shall send a
copy of this Sixth Report and Order including the Final Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small
Business Administration.

(2) ACP measurement procedure. The following procedures are to be
followed for making ACP transmitter measurements. For time division
multiple access (TDMA) systems, the measurements are to be made under
TDMA operation only during time slots when the transmitter is on. All
measurements must be made at the input to the transmitter's antenna.
Measurement bandwidth used below implies an instrument that measures
the power in many narrow bandwidths (e.g., 300 Hz) and integrates these
powers across a larger band to determine power in the measurement
bandwidth.
(i) Setting reference level. Using a spectrum analyzer capable of
ACP measurements, set the measurement bandwidth to the channel size.
For example, for a 6.25 kHz transmitter, set the measurement bandwidth
to 6.25 kHz; for a 150 kHz transmitter, set the measurement bandwidth
to 150 kHz. Set the frequency offset of the measurement bandwidth to
zero and adjust the center frequency of the spectrum analyzer to give
the power level in the measurement bandwidth. Record this power level
in dBm as the ``reference power level''.
(ii) Non-swept power measurement. Using a spectrum analyzer capable
of ACP measurements, set the measurement bandwidth as shown in the
tables above. Measure the ACP in dBm. These measurements should be made
at maximum power. Calculate the coupled power by subtracting the
measurements made in this step from the reference power measured in the
previous step. The absolute ACP values must be less than the values
given in the table for each condition above.
(iii) Swept power measurement. Set a spectrum analyzer to 30 kHz
resolution bandwidth, 1 MHz video bandwidth and sample mode detection.
Sweep MHz from the carrier frequency. Set the reference
level to the RMS value of the transmitter power and note the absolute
power. The response at frequencies greater than 600 kHz must be less
than the values in the tables above.
(3) Out-of-band emission limit. On any frequency outside of the
frequency ranges covered by the ACP tables in this section, the power
of any emission must be reduced below the unmodulated
[[Page 21666]]
carrier power (P) by at least 43 + 10 log (P) dB.
(4) Authorized bandwidth. Provided that the ACP requirements of
this section are met, applicants may request any authorized bandwidth
that does not exceed the channel size.

(b) ACP measurement procedure. The following are the procedures for
making the transmitter ACP measurements. For all measurements modulate
the transmitter as it would be modulated in normal operating
conditions. For time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, the
measurements are to be made under TDMA operation only during time slots
when the transmitter is active. All measurements are made at the
transmitter's output port. If a transmitter has an integral antenna, a
suitable power coupling device shall be used to couple the RF signal to
the measurement instrument. The coupling device shall substantially
maintain the proper transmitter load impedance. The ACP measurements
may be made with a spectrum analyzer capable of making direct ACP
measurements. ``Measurement bandwidth'', as used for non-swept
measurements, implies an instrument that measures the power in many
narrow bandwidths equal to the nominal resolution bandwidth and
integrates these powers to determine the total power in the specified
measurement bandwidth.
(1) Setting reference level. Set transmitter to maximum output
power. Using a spectrum analyzer capable of ACP measurements, set the
measurement bandwidth to the channel size. For example, for a 6.25 kHz
transmitter, set the measurement bandwidth to 6.25 kHz; for a 150 kHz
transmitter, set the measurement bandwidth to 150 kHz. Set the
frequency offset of the measurement bandwidth to zero and adjust the
center frequency of the instrument to the assigned center frequency to
measure the average power level of the transmitter. Record this power
level in dBm as the ``reference power level''.
(2) Non-swept power measurement. Using a spectrum analyzer capable
of ACP measurements, set the mesurement bandwidth and frequency offset
from the assigned center frequency as shown in the tables in Sec.
90.543 (a) above. Any value of resolution bandwidth may be used as long
as it does not exceed 2 percent of the specified measurement bandwidth.
Measure the power level in dBm. These measurements should be made at
maximum power. Calculate ACP by substracting the reference power level
measured in (b)(1) from the measurements made in this step. The
absolute value of the calculated ACP must be greater than or equal to
the absolute value of the ACP given in the table for each condition
above.
(3) Swept power measurement. Set a spectrum analyzer to 30 kHz
resolution bandwidth, 1 MHz video bandwidth and average, sample, or RMS
detection. Set the reference level of the spectrum analyzer to the RMS
value of the transmitter power. Sweep above and below the carrier
frequency to the limits defined in the tables. Calculate ACP by
substracting the reference power level measured in (b)(1) from the
measurements made in this step. The absolute value of the calculated
ACP must be greater than or equal to the absolute value of the ACP
given in the table for each condition above.
(c) Out-of-band emission limit. On any frequency outside of the
frequency ranges covered by the ACP tables in this section, the power
of any emission must be reduced below the mean output power (P) by at
least 43 + 10log (P) dB measured in a 100 kHz bandwidth for frequencies
less than 1 GHz, and in a 1 MHz bandwidth for frequencies greater than
1 GHz.
(d) Authorized bandwidth. Provided that the ACP requirements of
this section are met, applicants may request any authorized bandwidth
that does not exceed the channel size.
(e) For operations in the 764 to 776 MHz and 794 to 806 MHz bands,
all emissions including harmonics in the band 1559-1610 MHz shall be
limited to -70 dBW/MHz equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP)
for wideband signals, and -80 dBW EIRP for discrete emissions of less
than 700 Hz bandwidth. For the purpose of equipment authorization, a
transmitter shall be tested with an antenna that is representative of
the type that will be used with the equipment in normal operation.
(f) When an emission outside of the authorized bandwidth causes
harmful interference, the Commission may, at its discretion, require
greater attenuation than specified in this section.
