Agencies and Commissions May 21, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In this document, the Commission seeks comment on the National Exchange Carrier Association's (NECA) proposed compensation rates for interstate traditional telecommunications relay service (TRS); interstate Speech-to-Speech (STS) relay service; interstate captioned telephone service (CTS) and interstate and intrastate Internet Protocol (IP) captioned telephone service (IP CTS); interstate and intrastate IP Relay; and interstate and intrastate Video Relay Service (VRS). The Commission also seeks comment on the proposed carrier contribution factor and funding requirement for the Interstate TRS Fund.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).

This document proposes revisions to the Commission's rules and policies regarding public safety operations in the private land mobile radio services. In the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking portion of this document the Commission proposes to reinstate an exemption for 4.9 GHz band applications from coordination via a certified frequency coordinator. Notwithstanding this proposal, the Commission also proposes a licensee-to-licensee coordination requirement for primary permanent fixed stations operating in the 4.9 GHz band. The remaining proposals consist of corrections and clarifications of frequency tables. The Commission makes first proposal because the Commission tentatively concludes that the exemption was deleted by inadvertent omission. The Commission makes the second proposal because it is concerned that the existing coordination rules may not protect primary permanent fixed stations from interference. The Commission proposes the frequency table corrections to fix various errors. The intended effects are to relieve 4.9 GHz band applicants from the cost of certified frequency coordination; ensure sufficient interference protection of 4.9 GHz band permanent fixed primary stations; and eliminate uncertainty regarding the licensing of particular public safety frequencies.
