microphone operations under part 74. In addition, with respect to 
licensed wireless microphone operations in other frequency bands, 
revisions to the channelization plan for licensed wireless microphone 
operations in the 169-172 MHz band, generally affirm but provide 
clarifications regarding the 30-megahertz limit placed on licensed 
wireless microphone users' access to spectrum in the 1435-1525 MHz 
band, and clarify coordination requirements and operational limitations 
for licensed wireless microphone operations in the 941.5-944 MHz band. 
With these various revisions and clarifications, the Commission 
finalized the technical rules for wireless microphone operations and, 
the Commission promotes our goal of accommodating wireless microphone 
users' needs through access to spectrum resources following the 
incentive auction and reconfiguration of the TV bands.
