SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Commission amended its service rules for the 746-764 and 776-794 MHz bands in two recent decisions. The First Report and Order (FR Doc. 00-1332) was published at 65 FR 3139, January 20, 2000, and the Second Report and Order (FR Doc. 00-8144) at 65 FR 17594, April 4, 2000). These rule changes affected other rules in the current CFR, which were inadvertently not amended at that time to reflect the new amendments.

Need for Clarifying Rules

The existing rule sections affected by these recent decisions must be amended to conform with the actions taken in the two Commission decisions. The current amendments will ensure that the Commission's rules are current, useful, and correct.

Accordingly, 47 CFR Part 27 is amended as follows:

1. The authority citation for part 27 continues to read as follows:

Authority: 47 U.S.C. 154, 301, 302, 303, 307, 309, and 332, unless otherwise noted.

2. Section 27.15(a)(1) is amended by revising the reference “section 27.324” to read “§ 1.948.”

3. The heading of subpart D is revised to read as follows:

4. Revise the section heading for § 27.201 as set forth below, and revise the reference to “WCS” to read “WCS in the 2305-2320 MHz and 2345-2360 MHz bands.”

5. Remove references to “WCS” and add in its place, “WCS in the 2305-2320 and 2345-2360 bands” wherever they appear in the following sections:

§ 27.202

§ 27.205(a)

27.209(a)

The example following § 27.210(d)(3)(ii)(C)
