Television Bands, Repurposed 600 MHz Band, 600 MHz Guard Bands and 
Duplex Gap, and Channel 37; Amendment of Part 74 of the Commission's

and 600 MHz Duplex Gap; Expanding the Economic and Innovation 
Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions; Revisions to 
Rules Authorizing the Operation of Low Power Auxiliary Stations in the 
698-806 MHz Band; Public Interest Spectrum Coalition, Petition for 
Rulemaking Regarding Low Power Auxiliary Stations, Including Wireless 
Microphones, and the Digital Television Transition; Amendment of Parts 
15, 74 and 90 of the Commission's Rules Regarding Low Power Auxiliary

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, GN Docket No. 14-166, ET Docket 
No. 14-165, GN Docket No. 12-268, WT Docket No. 08-167, and ET Docket 
No. 10-24, in which the Commission permits certain qualifying 
professional theaters, music, and performing arts organizations to 
obtain a part 74 license that would allow them as licensees to obtain 
such interference protection in the TV bands and, when needed, also to 
operate in other spectrum bands available for licensed wireless 
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.
