Summary of the Order
1. In the Order, the Commission
makes several non-substantial editorial
revisions to the parts 2, 15, and 90 of the
Commission’s rules. The most
significant of these updates are: 1)
correct the cross references to
Allocation Table footnotes in parts 15
and 90 of the Commission’s rules; 2)
update the list of grandfathered sites in
the 1432–1435 MHz band; and 3)
remove an unused Federal site from the
list of grandfathered sites in the 3650–
3700 MHz band.
2. US117. NTIA requested that the
Commission correct the coordinates for
Table Mountain Observatory in US117
by revising the latitude from 40° 07′ 50’’
N to 40° 08′ 02’’ N. The Commission
noted that the requested change would
have little or no impact on non-Federal
operations because paragraph (b) of
US117 states that non-Federal use of the
406.1–410 MHz band is limited to the
radio astronomy service and as provided
by US13 (i.e., two channels that are
available for the specific purpose of
transmitting hydrological and
meteorological data). Accordingly, the
Commission revised the coordinates of
the Table Mountain Observatory in
US117 as requested by NTIA.
3. General Aviation Air-Ground
Stations. Section 22.805 lists 13 channel
pairs that are allocated for the provision
of radiotelephone service to airborne
mobile subscribers in general aviation
aircraft. The Commission amended
NG12 to accurately reflect the frequency
bands that may be assigned to domestic
public land and mobile stations to
provide a two-way air-ground public
radiotelephone service per Section
22.805. Accordingly, the Commission
replaced the 454.4–455 MHz and 459.4–
460 MHz bands in NG12 with the more
specific 454.6625–454.9875 MHz and
E:\FR\FM\27DER1.SGM
27DER1
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 248 / Thursday, December 27, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
459.6625–459.9875 MHz bands,
respectively. The Commission also takes
this opportunity to renumber NG12 in
frequency order as NG32.
4. Radiolocation Use of 420–450 MHz.
The WRC–07 Table Clean-up Order
renumbered US217 as US269, but did
not update a cross reference to this
footnote in § 90.103(c)(21). Accordingly,
the Commission amended § 90.103
(‘‘Radiolocation service’’) by revising
the cross reference in the last sentence
of paragraph (c)(21) from ‘‘US217’’ to
‘‘US269.’’
5. On-board Communications. In
2006, the Commission added
§ 80.373(g)(2) to its rules to make four
frequencies (457.5375 MHz, 457.5625
MHz, 467.5375 MHz, and 467.5625
MHz) available for narrowband use by
on-board ship communication stations
within U.S. territorial waters. An
international footnote, RR 5.287,
provides for on-board communication
stations on these frequencies outside the
territorial waters of the United States. A
separate footnote, RR 5.288, makes
different frequencies available for onboard communication stations within
the territorial waters of the United
States. RR 5.288 is incomplete because
it does not include the four narrowband
frequencies listed in RR 5.287 that the
Commission allocated in 2006 for use by
on-board communication stations in the
U.S. territorial waters. To correctly
show the 2006 Commission action in
the Allocation Table, the Commission
replaced RR 5.288 with a new U.S.
footnote, which we number as US288.
US288 incorporates the text from RR
5.288 and adds the four frequencies
contained in RR 5.287. The Commission
also added a cross reference to part 80
(Stations in the Maritime Mobile
Services) to the 462.7375–467.5375
MHz and 467.5375–467.7375 MHz
bands in the Allocation Table.
6. US361. The 1432–1435 MHz band
was a Government transfer band and
US361 lists 23 operating areas where
Federal stations in the fixed and mobile
services may operate indefinitely on a
primary basis. At NTIA’s request, the
Commission amended US361 by
correcting the name of a grandfathered
site and by removing a grandfathered
site. Specifically, the Commission
corrected the Location name for 37° 29′
North latitude, 114° 14′ West longitude
from ‘‘Nellis AFB, NV’’ to ‘‘Nevada Test
and Training Range (NTTR).’’ Next,
because the ‘‘AUTEC’’ location is not
within the United States and its insular
areas (the listed coordinates are on
Andros Island in The Bahamas), it
removed this location from US361.
Finally, the Commission reorganized
and simplified the text of US361 and
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:51 Dec 26, 2012
Jkt 229001
renumbered this U.S. footnote in
frequency order as US83.
7. NG168. In the Mobile Use of MSS
Bands R&O, the Commission revised the
text of NG168. It further amended the
text of NG168 to make the following
grammatical corrections. First, the
Commission introduced the MSS
abbreviation, i.e., ‘‘mobile-satellite
service (MSS)’’ in the first sentence and
removed the introduction of the MSS
abbreviation from the last sentence.
Second, it made the word ‘‘component’’
plural in the first sentence. The
Commission also took this opportunity
to renumber NG168 in frequency order
as NG43.
8. US385. The WRC–07 Table Cleanup Order added ‘‘the current text of
US269, which urges fixed and mobile
except aeronautical mobile licensees in
the 2655–2690 MHz band to coordinate
their systems, along with the secondary
allocation status of the radio astronomy
service in the 2655–2690 MHz band that
is shown in the U.S. Table, to US311,
and renumber[ed] US311 as US385.’’
However, the cross reference to US311
in § 15.242(e) was not updated at that
time. Accordingly, the Commission
amended the first sentence in paragraph
(e) of § 15.242 by revising ‘‘US 311’’ to
read ‘‘US385.’’
9. US338. The text of US338 applies
to the 2305–2310 MHz and 2310–2320
MHz bands, but the reference to US338
is shown only in the 2305–2310 MHz
band. The Commission added the
missing U.S. footnote, which it
renumbered in frequency order as US97,
to the 2310–2320 MHz band.
10. US348. Primary Federal
operations in the 3650–3700 MHz band
are limited to three grandfathered radar
sites, which are codified in US348 and
in § 90.1331(b)(1). NTIA has informed
us that one of these sites—Naval Station
Pascagoula—has been closed.
Accordingly, the Commission amended
US348 and § 90.1331(b)(1) to remove the
unused Federal site. It also takes this
opportunity to renumber US348 in
frequency order as US109.
11. 10–10.5 GHz. With the
concurrence of NTIA, the Commission
amended the Federal Table by revising
the ‘‘10–10.45’’ GHz band and the
reference to ‘‘G2’’ to read ‘‘10–10.5’’ and
‘‘G32,’’ respectively. We also revise the
text of three footnotes (US58, NG42,
NG134) that pertain to the 10–10.5 GHz
band. First, the Commission revised
US58 by adding the existing amateursatellite service allocation to the list of
permitted non-Federal services in the
10–10.5 GHz band so that this footnote
correctly lists all permitted non-Federal
services, and it renumbered this
footnote in frequency order as US128.
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

Second, the Commission combined the
text of NG42 and NG134 (which require
that non-Federal stations in the
radiolocation service not cause harmful
interference to the amateur service in
the 10–10.5 GHz band, and that these
stations not cause harmful interference
to the amateur-satellite service in the
10.45–10.5 GHz sub-band, respectively)
and renumbered the new footnote in
frequency order as NG50.
12. US277 and US355. Initially, NTIA
requested that the Commission correct
the coordinates for the Arecibo
Observatory in US355 by approximately
68 meters (from 18° 20′ 39’’ N, 66° 45′
10’’ W to 18° 20′ 37’’ N, 66° 45′ 11’’ W).
Subsequently, NTIA requested that the
Commission correct the elevations of
nearly all of the radio astronomy
observatories specified in US355. It
noted that the requested changes are de
minimis in nature and would affect only
future non-geostationary satellite orbit
systems in the fixed-satellite service
(space-to-Earth). Accordingly, the
Commission amended US355 by
correcting the coordinates of the
Arecibo Observatory and the elevations
of 12 of the observatories. It also
renumbered US355 in frequency order
as US131 and added missing references
to this footnote in the 10.6–10.68 GHz
(Federal and non-Federal Tables) and
10.7–11.7 GHz bands (Federal Table).
The Commission revised US277 by
updating the cross reference from
US355 to US131. Finally, the
Commission renumbered US277 as
US130, which places the allocation in
US130 adjacent to the list of radio
astronomy observatories in US131.
13. G27 and G117. At NTIA’s request,
the Commission amended the text of
two Federal Government footnotes in
§ 2.106 of our rules. First, it amended
G27 by revising ‘‘255’’ to read ‘‘225.’’
Second, the Commission amended G117
by replacing the ‘‘17.3–17.7 GHz’’ and
‘‘17.8–21.2 GHz’’ band entries with
‘‘17.375–17.475 GHz’’ and ‘‘17.6–21.2
GHz.’’ This action updates G117 by
listing the sub-bands that are specified
in US402 (17.375–17.475 GHz and 17.6–
17.7 GHz) and by restricting Federal
fixed-satellite service use of the 17.7–
17.8 GHz band (which is authorized in
US401) to military systems.
14. Allocation Display Changes. In the
U.S. Table, the Commission generally
does not subdivide a frequency band
unless it is necessary to do so, e.g.,
when we are adding a radio service in
only a segment of an existing frequency
band. In the non-Federal Table, the only
difference between the 19.7–20.1 GHz
and 20.1–20.2 GHz bands is RR 5.529,
and the only differences between the
29.5–29.9 GHz and 29.9–30 GHz bands
E:\FR\FM\27DER1.SGM
27DER1
76236
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 248 / Thursday, December 27, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
are RR 5.529 and RR 5.543. Accordingly,
the Commission merged these bands to
form the 19.7–20.2 GHz and 29.5–30
GHz bands.
Paperwork Reduction Act
15. This Order contains no new or
modified information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public
Law 104–13. In addition, therefore, it
does not contain any new or modified
‘‘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).
Congressional Review Act
16. The Commission will send a copy
of this Order to Congress and the
Government Accountability Office

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Parts 2, 15, and 90
[ET Docket No. 12-338; FCC 12-140]
WRC-07 Implementation Order
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

grammatical, typographical, and display errors in the United States
Table of Frequency Allocations (U.S. Table) and also remove
inconsistencies between the non-Federal Table of Frequency Allocations
(non-Federal Table) and parts 15 and 90 of the Commission's rules.
DATES: Effective January 28, 2013.

Summary of the Order
1. In the Order, the Commission makes several non-substantial
editorial revisions to the parts 2, 15, and 90 of the Commission's
rules. The most significant of these updates are: 1) correct the cross
references to Allocation Table footnotes in parts 15 and 90 of the
Commission's rules; 2) update the list of grandfathered sites in the
1432-1435 MHz band; and 3) remove an unused Federal site from the list
of grandfathered sites in the 3650-3700 MHz band.
2. US117. NTIA requested that the Commission correct the
coordinates for Table Mountain Observatory in US117 by revising the
latitude from 40[deg] 07' 50'' N to 40[deg] 08' 02'' N. The Commission
noted that the requested change would have little or no impact on non-
Federal operations because paragraph (b) of US117 states that non-
Federal use of the 406.1-410 MHz band is limited to the radio astronomy
service and as provided by US13 (i.e., two channels that are available
for the specific purpose of transmitting hydrological and
meteorological data). Accordingly, the Commission revised the
coordinates of the Table Mountain Observatory in US117 as requested by
NTIA.
3. General Aviation Air-Ground Stations. Section 22.805 lists 13
channel pairs that are allocated for the provision of radiotelephone
service to airborne mobile subscribers in general aviation aircraft.
The Commission amended NG12 to accurately reflect the frequency bands
that may be assigned to domestic public land and mobile stations to
provide a two-way air-ground public radiotelephone service per Section
22.805. Accordingly, the Commission replaced the 454.4-455 MHz and
459.4-460 MHz bands in NG12 with the more specific 454.6625-454.9875
MHz and
[[Page 76235]]
459.6625-459.9875 MHz bands, respectively. The Commission also takes
this opportunity to renumber NG12 in frequency order as NG32.
4. Radiolocation Use of 420-450 MHz. The WRC-07 Table Clean-up
Order renumbered US217 as US269, but did not update a cross reference
to this footnote in Sec. 90.103(c)(21). Accordingly, the Commission
amended Sec. 90.103 (``Radiolocation service'') by revising the cross
reference in the last sentence of paragraph (c)(21) from ``US217'' to
``US269.''
5. On-board Communications. In 2006, the Commission added Sec.
80.373(g)(2) to its rules to make four frequencies (457.5375 MHz,
457.5625 MHz, 467.5375 MHz, and 467.5625 MHz) available for narrowband
use by on-board ship communication stations within U.S. territorial
waters. An international footnote, RR 5.287, provides for on-board
communication stations on these frequencies outside the territorial
waters of the United States. A separate footnote, RR 5.288, makes
different frequencies available for on-board communication stations
within the territorial waters of the United States. RR 5.288 is
incomplete because it does not include the four narrowband frequencies
listed in RR 5.287 that the Commission allocated in 2006 for use by on-
board communication stations in the U.S. territorial waters. To
correctly show the 2006 Commission action in the Allocation Table, the
Commission replaced RR 5.288 with a new U.S. footnote, which we number
as US288. US288 incorporates the text from RR 5.288 and adds the four
frequencies contained in RR 5.287. The Commission also added a cross
reference to part 80 (Stations in the Maritime Mobile Services) to the
462.7375-467.5375 MHz and 467.5375-467.7375 MHz bands in the Allocation
Table.
6. US361. The 1432-1435 MHz band was a Government transfer band and
US361 lists 23 operating areas where Federal stations in the fixed and
mobile services may operate indefinitely on a primary basis. At NTIA's
request, the Commission amended US361 by correcting the name of a
grandfathered site and by removing a grandfathered site. Specifically,
the Commission corrected the Location name for 37[deg] 29' North
latitude, 114[deg] 14' West longitude from ``Nellis AFB, NV'' to
``Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR).'' Next, because the ``AUTEC''
location is not within the United States and its insular areas (the
listed coordinates are on Andros Island in The Bahamas), it removed
this location from US361. Finally, the Commission reorganized and
simplified the text of US361 and renumbered this U.S. footnote in
frequency order as US83.
7. NG168. In the Mobile Use of MSS Bands R&O, the Commission
revised the text of NG168. It further amended the text of NG168 to make
the following grammatical corrections. First, the Commission introduced
the MSS abbreviation, i.e., ``mobile-satellite service (MSS)'' in the
first sentence and removed the introduction of the MSS abbreviation
from the last sentence. Second, it made the word ``component'' plural
in the first sentence. The Commission also took this opportunity to
renumber NG168 in frequency order as NG43.
8. US385. The WRC-07 Table Clean-up Order added ``the current text
of US269, which urges fixed and mobile except aeronautical mobile
licensees in the 2655-2690 MHz band to coordinate their systems, along
with the secondary allocation status of the radio astronomy service in
the 2655-2690 MHz band that is shown in the U.S. Table, to US311, and
renumber[ed] US311 as US385.'' However, the cross reference to US311 in
Sec. 15.242(e) was not updated at that time. Accordingly, the
Commission amended the first sentence in paragraph (e) of Sec. 15.242
by revising ``US 311'' to read ``US385.''
9. US338. The text of US338 applies to the 2305-2310 MHz and 2310-
2320 MHz bands, but the reference to US338 is shown only in the 2305-
2310 MHz band. The Commission added the missing U.S. footnote, which it
renumbered in frequency order as US97, to the 2310-2320 MHz band.
10. US348. Primary Federal operations in the 3650-3700 MHz band are
limited to three grandfathered radar sites, which are codified in US348
and in Sec. 90.1331(b)(1). NTIA has informed us that one of these
sites--Naval Station Pascagoula--has been closed. Accordingly, the
Commission amended US348 and Sec. 90.1331(b)(1) to remove the unused
Federal site. It also takes this opportunity to renumber US348 in
frequency order as US109.
11. 10-10.5 GHz. With the concurrence of NTIA, the Commission
amended the Federal Table by revising the ``10-10.45'' GHz band and the
reference to ``G2'' to read ``10-10.5'' and ``G32,'' respectively. We
also revise the text of three footnotes (US58, NG42, NG134) that
pertain to the 10-10.5 GHz band. First, the Commission revised US58 by
adding the existing amateur-satellite service allocation to the list of
permitted non-Federal services in the 10-10.5 GHz band so that this
footnote correctly lists all permitted non-Federal services, and it
renumbered this footnote in frequency order as US128. Second, the
Commission combined the text of NG42 and NG134 (which require that non-
Federal stations in the radiolocation service not cause harmful
interference to the amateur service in the 10-10.5 GHz band, and that
these stations not cause harmful interference to the amateur-satellite
service in the 10.45-10.5 GHz sub-band, respectively) and renumbered
the new footnote in frequency order as NG50.
12. US277 and US355. Initially, NTIA requested that the Commission
correct the coordinates for the Arecibo Observatory in US355 by
approximately 68 meters (from 18[deg] 20' 39'' N, 66[deg] 45' 10'' W to
18[deg] 20' 37'' N, 66[deg] 45' 11'' W). Subsequently, NTIA requested
that the Commission correct the elevations of nearly all of the radio
astronomy observatories specified in US355. It noted that the requested
changes are de minimis in nature and would affect only future non-
geostationary satellite orbit systems in the fixed-satellite service
(space-to-Earth). Accordingly, the Commission amended US355 by
correcting the coordinates of the Arecibo Observatory and the
elevations of 12 of the observatories. It also renumbered US355 in
frequency order as US131 and added missing references to this footnote
in the 10.6-10.68 GHz (Federal and non-Federal Tables) and 10.7-11.7
GHz bands (Federal Table). The Commission revised US277 by updating the
cross reference from US355 to US131. Finally, the Commission renumbered
US277 as US130, which places the allocation in US130 adjacent to the
list of radio astronomy observatories in US131.
13. G27 and G117. At NTIA's request, the Commission amended the
text of two Federal Government footnotes in Sec. 2.106 of our rules.
First, it amended G27 by revising ``255'' to read ``225.'' Second, the
Commission amended G117 by replacing the ``17.3-17.7 GHz'' and ``17.8-
21.2 GHz'' band entries with ``17.375-17.475 GHz'' and ``17.6-21.2
GHz.'' This action updates G117 by listing the sub-bands that are
specified in US402 (17.375-17.475 GHz and 17.6-17.7 GHz) and by
restricting Federal fixed-satellite service use of the 17.7-17.8 GHz
band (which is authorized in US401) to military systems.
14. Allocation Display Changes. In the U.S. Table, the Commission
generally does not subdivide a frequency band unless it is necessary to
do so, e.g., when we are adding a radio service in only a segment of an
existing frequency band. In the non-Federal Table, the only difference
between the 19.7-20.1 GHz and 20.1-20.2 GHz bands is RR 5.529, and the
only differences between the 29.5-29.9 GHz and 29.9-30 GHz bands
[[Page 76236]]
are RR 5.529 and RR 5.543. Accordingly, the Commission merged these
bands to form the 19.7-20.2 GHz and 29.5-30 GHz bands.
Paperwork Reduction Act
15. This Order contains no new or modified information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA),
Public Law 104-13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain any new
or modified ``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).
Congressional Review Act
16. The Commission will send a copy of this Order to Congress and
the Government Accountability Office pursuant to the Congressional
Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
Ordering Clauses
17. Pursuant to sections 1, 4, 301, 302(a), and 303 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 154,
301, 302(a), and 303, and section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), this order is hereby adopted and the
Commission's rules are amended as set forth in the Final rules.
18. The rule amendments adopted herein shall become effective
January 28, 2013.
19. It is further ordered that the Commission shall send a copy of
this 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).

US128 In the band 10-10.5 GHz, pulsed emissions are prohibited,
except for weather radars on board meteorological satellites in the
sub-band 10-10.025 GHz. The amateur service, the amateur-satellite
service, and the non-Federal radiolocation service, which shall not
cause harmful interference to the Federal radiolocation service, are
the only non-Federal services permitted in this band. The non-Federal
radiolocation service is limited to survey operations as specified in
footnote US108.
US130 The band 10.6-10.68 GHz is also allocated on a primary basis
to the radio astronomy service. However, the radio astronomy service
shall not receive protection from stations in the fixed service which
are licensed to operate in the one hundred most populous urbanized
areas as defined by the 1990 U.S. Census. For the list of observatories
operating in this band, see footnote US131.
US131 In the band 10.7-11.7 GHz, non-geostationary satellite orbit
licensees in the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth), prior to
commencing operations, shall coordinate with the following radio
astronomy observatories to achieve a mutually acceptable agreement
regarding the protection of the radio telescope facilities operating in
the band 10.6-10.7 GHz:
