    On August 11, 2015, the Commission 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 Sec.  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, 
Promoting Spectrum Access for Wireless Microphone Operations, Amendment 
of Part 15 of the Commission's Rules for Unlicensed Operations in the 
Television Bands, Repurposed 600 MHz Band, 600 MHz Guard Bands and 
Duplex Gap, and Channel 37, and, Amendment of Part 74 of the 
Commission's Rules for Low

Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions, Order, GN Docket No. 14-166, ET 
Docket No. 14-165, and GN Docket No. 12-268. In this Order, the 
Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, Wireless Telecommunications 
Bureau, and the Office of Engineering and Technology provided the 
specific language that must be used in the consumer disclosure required 
by the Commission in its 2015 Wireless Microphones Report and Order, as 
set forth in Sections 15.37(k) and 74.851(l) of the Commission's rules. 
As the Order explains, the consumer disclosure requirement is 
applicable to persons who manufacture, sell, lease, or offer for sale 
or lease, wireless microphone or video assist devices to the extent 
that these devices are capable of operating on the specific frequencies 
associated with the 600 MHz service band (617-652 MHz/663-698 MHz). 
This disclosure also informs consumers that, consistent with the 
Commission's decision in the 2015 Wireless Microphones Report and 
Order, wireless microphone users must cease any wireless microphone 
operations in the 600 MHz service band no later than July 13, 2020, and 
that in many instances they may be required to cease use of these 
devices earlier if their use has the potential to cause harmful 
interference to 600 MHz service licensees' wireless operations in the 
band.
