This order adopted a revision to a Commission rule, 47 CFR 74.802(b), 
to permit low power auxiliary stations (LPAS), including wireless 
microphones, to operate in the bands allocated for TV broadcasting at 
revised distances from a co-channel television's contour, and provided 
LPAS operators to operate even closer to television stations proved 
that any such operations are coordinated with TV broadcast stations 
that could be affected by the LPAS operations.
    The Commission seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval 
for an extension of the currently approved information collection for 
the coordination process adopted in the Commission's Report and Order, 
FCC 14-50 for such co-channel operations, in 47 CFR 74.802d(b)(2).
