The information requested is not of a

Needs and Uses: On April 28, 2017,
the Commission released the Business
Data Services Order, WC Docket No. 16–
143 et al., FCC 17–43, reforming the
business data services/special access
regulations for incumbent and
competitive LECs. The Commission’s
reforms included replacing the
application-based pricing flexibility
rules with a new framework under
which: (a) Packet-based services, time
division multiplexing (TDM) services
with bandwidth greater than 45 mbps,
and TDM transport services are not
subject to ex ante pricing regulation; (b)
a new standard is applied to determine
the extent to which the Commission
regulates price cap LECs’ TDM end user
channel terminations with bandwidth
less than 45 mbps and certain other low
bandwidth business data services.
Under this standard, a price cap LEC is
not subject to ex ante pricing regulation
in the provision of these services in
counties deemed competitive under the
Commission’s competitive market test
or for which the price cap LEC
previously obtained Phase II pricing
flexibility; (c) the price cap LEC is
subject to ex ante pricing regulation in
other counties where it is the incumbent
LEC, but in these counties the price cap
LEC has downward pricing flexibility
(i.e., the equivalent of Phase I pricing

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 177 / Thursday, September 14, 2017 / Notices
flexibility under the prior rules); and (d)
the Commission will update the
competitive market test results every
three years using data already collected
in FCC Form 477.
Among other rules changes, the
Business Data Services Report and
Order repealed section 1.774, which set
forth requirements for pricing flexibility
applications, and added section 1.776,
which limits the circumstances under
which price cap LECs must file their
business data services contracts as
contract-based tariffs. The Commission
also amended section 69.701 of its rules
to specify that its pricing flexibility
rules no longer apply to business data
services.

released the Wireless Microphones
Report and Order in Promoting
Spectrum Access for Wireless
Microphone Operations, Expanding the
Economic and Innovation Opportunities
of Spectrum Through Incentive
Auctions GN Docket No. 14–166 and GN
Docket No. 12–268. In this Report and
Order, the Commission established
certain consumer disclosure and
labeling requirements in Sections
15.37(k), 74.851(k), and 74.851(l)
relating to wireless microphones and
wireless video assist devices; these
requirements apply to persons who
manufacture, sell, lease, or offer for sale
or lease, wireless microphone or video
assist devices—either (a) wireless
microphones or other low power
auxiliary stations (‘‘wireless
microphones’’) or video assist devices,
authorized pursuant to Part 74, Subpart
H of the Commission’s rules, or (b)
unlicensed wireless microphones
authorized pursuant to § 15.236—to the
extent that these devices have been
designed to operate on frequencies that
are licensed to 600 MHz service band
licensees that obtain licenses in the
broadcast television incentive auction.
The Commission directed that the
Consumer and Governmental Affairs
Bureau, following the close of the
incentive auction, provide specific
language to be used in consumer
disclosure. The incentive auction closed
on April 13, 2017.
On July 24, 2017, the Consumer and
Governmental Affairs Bureau, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau, and the
Office of Engineering and Technology of
the Federal Communications
Commission released an Order,
