On July 13, 2017, the Commission
adopted an Order on Reconsideration in
ET Docket Nos. 14–165 and 14–166,
FCC 17–95, that addressed wireless
microphone issues (2017 Wireless
Microphone Order). Because the date
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
the Commission specified in the 2015
White Spaces R&O for ending
registration of unlicensed wireless
microphones in the white space
database had passed with the release of
the Channel Reassignment Public Notice
on April 13, 2017, the Order removed
and reserved Section 15.713(j)(9) that
had previously allowed such
registrations.
The white space rules as amended by
the 2015 White Spaces R&O require that
each white space database administrator
shall:
(a) Maintain a database that contains
the information described in § 15.713 of
the rules. The database must include
information on protected entities and
services, including TV stations,
Broadcast Auxiliary Services, Private
Land Mobile and Commercial Radio
Service operations, part 74 Low Power
Auxiliary Stations such as wireless
microphones, the locations where part
27 600 MHz service licensees have
commenced operation, and the locations
of health care facilities that use WMTS
equipment operating on channel 37.
(Section 15.715(a));
(b) Establish a process for acquiring
and storing in the database necessary
and appropriate information from the
Commission’s databases and
synchronizing the database with the
current Commission databases at least
once a week to include newly licensed
facilities or any changes to licensed
facilities (Section 15.715(b));
(c) Establish a process for registering
fixed white space devices and
registering and including in the
database those facilities entitled to
protection but not contained in a
Commission database, including Multichannel Video Programming Distributor
(MVPD) receive sites. The database
administrators must establish
procedures to allow part 27 600 MHz
service licensees to upload, modify and
replace registration information for
areas where they have commenced
operations; allow health care facilities to
register the locations of facilities where
they operate WMTS networks on
channel 37; and to allow unlicensed
wireless microphone users in the 600
MHz band to register with the database
and to provide lists of channels
available for wireless microphones at a
given location (Sections 15.715(n), (p)
and (q)). Database administrators must
remove from the database the
registrations of fixed white space
devices that have not checked the
database for at least three months to
update their channel lists (Section
15.715(o));
(d) Establish a process for registering
facilities where part 74 low power

auxiliary devices are used on a regular
basis (Sections 15.713(j)(8) and
15.715(d));
(e) Provide accurate automated
information regarding available
channels to fixed and personal/portable
white space devices that submit to the
database the information required under
§ 15.713(e), (g) and (h) based on the
geographic location of the device; and
provide accurate automated information
regarding available channels to fixed
and Mode II devices requesting
information regarding available
channels for Mode I devices. Database
administrators may allow prospective
operators of white space devices to
query the database and determine if
there are vacant channels at a particular
location (Section 15.715(e));
(f) Establish protocols and procedures
to ensure that all automated
communications and interactions
between the database and white space
devices are accurate and secure and that
unauthorized parties cannot access or
alter the database or the information
regarding available channels sent to a
white space device consistent with the
provisions of Section 15.713(l) (Section
15.715(f));
(g) Make database services available to
all unlicensed white space device users
on a non-discriminatory basis (Section
15.715(g));
(h) Provide service for a five-year
term. This term can be renewed at the
Commission’s discretion (Section
15.715(h));
(i) Respond in a timely manner to
verify, correct and/or remove, as
appropriate, data in the event that the
Commission or a party brings a claim of
inaccuracies in the database to the
attention of the administrator. This
requirement applies only to information
that the Commission requires to be
stored in the database (Section
15.715(i));
(j) Transfer the database, along with
the IP addresses and URLs used to
access the database and data for
registered fixed and personal/portable
white space devices, to another
designated entity in the event it does
not continue as the database
administrator at the end of its term
(Section 15.715(j));
(k) The database must have
functionality such that upon request
from the Commission it can indicate
that no channels are available when
queried by a specific white space
devices or model of white space device
(Section 15.715(k));
(l) If more than one database is
developed, the database administrators
must cooperate to develop a
standardized process for providing on a
E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM

daily basis or more often, as appropriate
the data collected for the facilities listed
in § 15.713(b)(2) to all other white space
databases to ensure consistency in the
records of protected facilities (Section
15.715(l));
(m) The database administrator may
charge a fee for provision of lists of
available channels to fixed and
personal/portable devices and for
registering fixed devices. This provision
applies to devices that operate in the TV
bands, 600 MHz service band, and the
600 MHz guard bands and duplex gap.
A white space database administrator
may also charge a fee for provision of
lists of available channels to wireless
microphone users. (Section 15.714).
To receive interference protection,
600 MHz licensees must notify one of
the white space database administrators
of the areas where they have
commenced operation pursuant to
§§ 15.713(j)(10) and 15.715(n) of this
chapter (Section 27.1320).

On July 13, 2017, the Commission adopted an Order on
Reconsideration in ET Docket Nos. 14-165 and 14-166, FCC 17-95, that
addressed wireless microphone issues (2017 Wireless Microphone Order).
Because the date the Commission specified in the 2015 White Spaces R&O

space database had passed with the release of the Channel Reassignment
Public Notice on April 13, 2017, the Order removed and reserved Section

The white space rules as amended by the 2015 White Spaces R&O
require that each white space database administrator shall:
(a) Maintain a database that contains the information described in
Sec. 15.713 of the rules. The database must include information on
protected entities and services, including TV stations, Broadcast
Auxiliary Services, Private Land Mobile and Commercial Radio Service
operations, part 74 Low Power Auxiliary Stations such as wireless
microphones, the locations where part 27 600 MHz service licensees have
commenced operation, and the locations of health care facilities that
use WMTS equipment operating on channel 37. (Section 15.715(a));
(b) Establish a process for acquiring and storing in the database
necessary and appropriate information from the Commission's databases
and synchronizing the database with the current Commission databases at
least once a week to include newly licensed facilities or any changes
to licensed facilities (Section 15.715(b));
(c) Establish a process for registering fixed white space devices
and registering and including in the database those facilities entitled

Database administrators must remove from the database the registrations
of fixed white space devices that have not checked the database for at
least three months to update their channel lists (Section 15.715(o));
(d) Establish a process for registering facilities where part 74
low power auxiliary devices are used on a regular basis (Sections
15.713(j)(8) and 15.715(d));
(e) Provide accurate automated information regarding available
channels to fixed and personal/portable white space devices that submit
to the database the information required under Sec. 15.713(e), (g) and
(h) based on the geographic location of the device; and provide
accurate automated information regarding available channels to fixed
and Mode II devices requesting information regarding available channels
