FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Parts 2 and 26

[WT Docket No. 00-32; FCC 02-47]


The 4.9 GHz Band Transferred From Federal Government Use

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document delays the effective date of the Second Report 
and Order, published April 9, 2002, (67 FR 17009) from May 9, 2002 to 
May 13, 2002. The Second Report and Order allocated 50 megahertz of 
spectrum in the 4940-4990 band (4.9 GHz band) for fixed and mobile 
services (except aeronautical mobile service) and designated this band 
for use in support of public safety. Due to unforeseen delays in the 
Federal Register publication of a final action that also revised page 
55 of the Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 CFR 2.106, the Commission 
has determined that the effective date of the Second Report and Order 
must be delayed from May 9, 2002 to May 13, 2002. This action will 
allow page 55 to be printed in the correct sequence.

DATES: The effective date for the Second Report and Order amending 47 
CFR parts 2 and 26, published April 9, 2002, 67 FR 17009, is delayed 
until May 13, 2002.

Wireless Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, (202) 418-0680.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission adopted a Second Report and 
Order, WT Docket No. 00-32, FCC 02-47, on February 14, 2002, and 
released on February 27, 2002. An effective date of May 9, 2002, was 
set by the Commission, 67 FR 17009, April 9, 2002. The Second Report 
and Order allocated 50 megahertz of spectrum in the 4940-4990 MHz band 
(4.9 GHz band) for fixed and mobile services (except aeronautical 
mobile service) and designates this band for use in support of public 
safety. The allocation and designation provide Public safety users with 
additional spectrum to support new broadband applications. This 
document delays that effective date from May 9, 2002, until May 13, 
2002.
