Requirements
SUMMARY: This document extends for
180 days the transition periods for
unlicensed National Information
Infrastructure (U–NII) equipment
operating in the 5.250–5.350 GHz bands.
This action will allow parties to
continue to obtain equipment
authorizations for such equipment and
to market it under the rules in effect
prior to the adoption of the 5 GHz U–
NII Report and Order pending the
development of measurement
procedures for evaluating these devices
for compliance with the new rules.

February 15, 2006, and released
February 16, 2006. The full text of this

Therefore, effective July 20, 2006, all
devices for which an initial application
for equipment certification is filed for
U–NII equipment operating in the
5.250–5.350 GHz band must meet the
rules adopted in the 5 GHz U–NII Report
and Order. We also extend by 180 days
the two-year cut-off date for marketing
and importation of equipment designed
to operate in only the 5.250–5.350 GHz
band. Therefore, U–NII equipment
operating in the 5.250–5.350 GHz band
that are imported or marketed on or
after July 20, 2007 must comply with
the DFS and TPC requirements adopted
in the 5 GHz U–NII Report and Order.
We note that users who obtained
equipment prior to any of these cut-off
dates will be allowed to continue to use
that equipment indefinitely. Finally,
because our action today temporarily
relieves a restriction, i.e., the cut-off
dates for equipment authorizations and
the marketing of U–NII equipment in
the 5.250–5.350 GHz band, we make
this Order effective upon release.
Ordering Clauses
Summary of the Order
1. The Commission, National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA), and the U–NII
equipment industry are continuing to
work together to develop test
procedures to ensure that DFS
adequately protects most Federal
Government radar systems and have
now completed a draft plan of test
procedures. We anticipate NTIA will
soon submit the revised measurement
procedure to the Commission for
consideration. The Commission will
issue the updated measurement
procedures for the certification of U–NII
equipment containing DFS and TPC
capabilities.
2. We note that the cut-off date for
applications for equipment certification
for products without DFS and TPC that
operate in the 5.250–5.350 GHz band is
January 20, 2006. We therefore are
extending this cut-off date by 180 days
in order to allow sufficient time for
manufacturers to incorporate DFS into
U–NII devices and comply with the
rules including the new test procedures.
3. The Congressional Review Act
(CRA), was addressed in a Report and
Order released by the Commission, on
November 18, 2003, in ‘‘In the Matter of
Revision of Parts 2 and 15 of the
Commission’s rules to permit
Unlicensed National Information
Infrastructure (U–NII) devices in the 5
GHz band’’ in this proceeding, FCC 03–
287, 69 FR 2677, January 20, 2004. This
Order does not change any rules, it only
extends the transition period for
unlicensed U–NII devices. Therefore,
the CRA requirements have already
been fulfilled for this rule.
4. Pursuant to sections 4(i), 303(f),
and 303(r) of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i),
303(f), and 303(r), and Section 553(d) of
the Administrative Procedure Act, 5
U.S.C. 553(d), the Order is hereby
adopted.
5. Section 15.37(l), 47 CFR is hereby
amended, as set forth in the rule change
and shall become effective February 16,
2006.

Hedrick of a Report and Order this

mutually exclusive allotment of

reserved for noncommercial educational
use. The staff determined that the
reconsideration petition did not
demonstrate any errors of fact or law
and that Hedrick’s rulemaking petition
was properly rejected because he filed
late comments. See 66 FR 5956
