17880
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 62 / Tuesday, March 31, 2020 / Notices
of Information Act (FOIA) under 5
U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and FCC rules under 47
CFR 0.457(d) is granted for trade secrets
which may be submitted as attachments
to the application FCC Form 731. No
other assurances of confidentiality are
provided to respondents.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this revised information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) after this 60-day
comment period to obtain the three-year
clearance. The Commission is reporting
program changes, increases to this
information collection.
As the Commission notes above, the
total number of respondents, total
number of responses annually, the total
annual hourly burden, and the total
annual costs have been updated because
of the continuing growth in applications
for Certification, streamlining of the
application information and combining
of different information collection
requests. With operations in the new
frequencies formed under Section
15.258 the burden hours for the
applicants have increased from 201,450
hours to 201,603. However, the
additional Applications that will be
filed per the frequencies will become
the total burden hours for applicants to
$50,155,140 from $50,110,000.
On March 15, 2019, the Commission
adopted a First Report and Order, in ET
Docket No. 18–2; FCC 19–19, which
involves updates to 47 CFR part 15,—
‘‘Radio Frequency Devices,’’ to provide
permit certain operations above 95
GHz.1 Among other things, the
Spectrum Horizons Order made specific
frequencies above 95 GHz available for
the operation of radiofrequency devices
without a license. Such devices are
subject to the certification process of the
Commission’s equipment authorization
program. Accordingly, 47 CFR was
amended to include a new Section
15.258 as follows:
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
§ 15.258 Operation in the bands 116–123
GHz, 174.8–182 GHz, 185–190 GHz and 244–
246 GHz.
(a) Operation on board an aircraft or
a satellite is prohibited.
(b) Emission levels within the 116–
123 GHz, 174.8–182 GHz, 185–190 GHz
and 244–246 GHz bands shall not
exceed the following equivalent
isotropically radiated power (EIRP)
limits as measured during the transmit
interval:
(1) The average power of any emission
shall not exceed 40 dBm and the peak
power of any emission shall not exceed
43 dBm; or

FCC Rcd 1605(2) (2019) (Spectrum Horizons Order).
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
(2) For fixed point-to-point
transmitters located outdoors, the
average power of any emission shall not
exceed 82 dBm and shall be reduced by
2 dB for every dB that the antenna gain
is less than 51 dBi. The peak power of
any emission shall not exceed 85 dBm
and shall be reduced by 2 dB for every
dB that the antenna gain is less than 51
dBi. The provisions in this paragraph
for reducing transmit power based on
antenna gain shall not require that the
power levels be reduced below the
limits specified in paragraph (b)(1) of
this section.
(3) The peak power shall be measured
with a detection bandwidth that
encompasses the entire occupied
bandwidth within the intended band of
operation, e.g., 116–123 GHz, 174.8–182
GHz, 185–190 GHz or 244–246 GHz.
The average emission levels shall be
measured over the actual time period
during which transmission occurs.
(4) Transmitters with an emission
bandwidth of less than 100 MHz must
limit their peak radiated power to the
product of the maximum permissible
radiated power (in milliwatts) times
their emission bandwidth divided by
100 MHz. For the purposes of this
paragraph, emission bandwidth is
defined as the instantaneous frequency
range occupied by a steady state
radiated signal with modulation,
outside which the radiated power
spectral density never exceeds 6 dB
below the maximum radiated power
spectral density in the band, as
measured with a 100 kHz resolution
bandwidth spectrum analyzer. The
center frequency must be stationary
during the measurement interval, even
if not stationary during normal
operation (e.g., for frequency hopping
devices).
(c) Limits on spurious emissions:
(1) The power density of any
emissions outside the band of operation,
e.g., 116–123 GHz, 174.8–182 GHz, 185–
190 GHz or 244–246 GHz, shall consist
solely of spurious emissions.
(2) Radiated emissions below 40 GHz
shall not exceed the general limits in
§ 15.209.
(3) Between 40 GHz and the highest
frequency specified in § 15.33, the level
of these emissions shall not exceed 90
pW/cm2 at a distance of 3 meters.
(4) The levels of the spurious
emissions shall not exceed the level of
the fundamental emission.
(d) Frequency stability. Fundamental
emissions must be contained within the
frequency bands specified in this
section during all conditions of
operation. Equipment is presumed to
operate over the temperature range ¥20
to + 50 degrees Celsius with an input

voltage variation of 85% to 115% of
rated input voltage, unless justification
is presented to demonstrate otherwise.
(e) Regardless of the power density
levels permitted under this section,
devices operating under the provisions
of this section are subject to the
radiofrequency radiation exposure
requirements specified in §§ 1.1307(b),
2.1091 and 2.1093 of this chapter, as
appropriate. Applications for equipment
authorization of devices operating under
this section must contain a statement
confirming compliance with these
requirements for both fundamental
emissions and unwanted emissions.
Technical information showing the
basis for this statement must be
submitted to the Commission upon
request.
(f) Any transmitter that has received
the necessary FCC equipment
authorization under the rules of this
chapter may be mounted in a group
installation for simultaneous operation
with one or more other transmitter(s)
that have received the necessary FCC
equipment authorization, without any
additional equipment authorization.
However, no transmitter operating
under the provisions of this section may
be equipped with external phaselocking inputs that permit beam-forming
arrays to be realized.
(g) Measurement procedures that have
been found to be acceptable to the
Commission in accordance with § 2.947
of this chapter may be used to
demonstrate compliance.
