In the Eighth Report and Order in WP Docket No. 07-100, the Commission established a new Section 90.1217 which enumerated the duties of the Band Manager.
The Commission directed the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau to establish a 4.9 GHz Selection Committee to advise the Bureaus on selecting a Band Manager for the 4.9 GHz band. The Committee will review proposals from persons or entities seeking to serve as Band Manager and to hold the Band Manager overlay license. These persons or entities will provide the 4.9 GHz Selection Committee with information demonstrating how they propose to perform the functions enumerated in the Commission's rules and Orders.
