FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 90

[WT Docket No. 99-87; RM-9332; FCC 03-34]


Implementation of Sections 309(j) and 337 of the Communications 
Act of 1934 as Amended and Promotion of Spectrum Efficient Technologies 
on Certain Part 90 Frequencies

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this document the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 
amends its rules to include a long-term schedule for the migration of 
Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) systems, using frequencies in the 150-
174 MHz and 421-512 MHz bands, to narrowband technology. Review of the 
FCC's equipment certification rules and the record revealed a slower 
pace to narrowband technology than is desired. Therefore, the FCC 
amended its rules to encourage spectral efficiency in the shared PLMR 
bands and to facilitate timely transition to narrowband technology in 
the shared PLMR bands. These amendments to the FCC's rules are intended 
to produce more efficient use of PLMR spectrum in the 150-174 MHz and 
421-512 MHz bands.

DATES: Effective September 15, 2003.

    1. The major decisions adopted in the Order are as follows. The 
Order:
    [sbull] Prohibits the filing of applications for new operations 
using 25 kHz channels, beginning six months after publication of the 
Order in the Federal Register.
    [sbull] Prohibits any modification applications that expand the 
authorized contour of an existing station if the bandwidth for 
transmissions specified in the modification application is greater than 
12.5 kHz, beginning six months after publication of the Order in the 
Federal Register.
    [sbull] Prohibits the certification of any equipment capable of 
operating at one voice path per 25 kHz of spectrum, i.e. equipment that 
includes a 25 kHz mode, beginning January 1, 2005.
    [sbull] Prohibits the manufacture and importation of any 150-174 
MHz and 421-512 MHz band equipment that can operate on a 25 kHz 
bandwidth, beginning January 1, 2008.
    [sbull] Imposes deadlines for migration to 12.5 kHz technology for 
PLMRS systems operating in the 150-174 MHz and 421-512 MHz bands. The 
deadlines are: January 1, 2013 for non-public safety systems, and 
January 1, 2018 for public safety systems.

Procedural Matters

A. Regulatory Flexibility Act Analyses

    2. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), see 5 
U.S.C. 604, the FCC has prepared a Final Regulatory Flexibility 
Analysis of the possible impact of the rule changes contained in this 
Order on small entities. The Final Regulatory Flexibility Act analysis 
is set forth further. The FCC's Consumer Information Bureau, Reference 
Information Center, will send a copy of this Order including the Final 
to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Analysis

    3. This Order does not contain any new or modified information 
collection. Therefore, it is not subject to the requirements for a 
paperwork reduction analysis, and we have not performed one.

Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

    4. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), an Initial 
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) was incorporated in the Order in 
WT Docket 99-87. This present Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 
(FRFA) conforms to the RFA.

A. Reason for, and Objectives of, the Order

    5. The Order adopts rules to promote the transition to narrowband 
technology in bands 150-174 MHz and 421-512 MHz. Specifically, the FCC 
amends its rules to impose a deadline for migration to 2.5 kHz 
technology for non-public safety PLMRS systems operating on those 
bands, beginning January 1, 2013 and for public safety systems 
operating on those bands, beginning January 1, 2018. In addition, the 
FCC amends its rules to prohibit the certification of any equipment 
capable of operating at one voice path per 25 kHz of spectrum, i.e., 
multi-mode equipment that includes a 25 kHz mode, beginning January 1, 
2005. The FCC also prohibits the manufacture and importation of 25 kHz 
equipment (including multi-mode equipment that can operate on a 25 kHz 
bandwidth) beginning January 1, 2008. The FCC amends its rules to 
prohibit any applications for new operations using 25 kHz channels 
beginning six months after notice of the Order is published in the 
Federal Register. Further, the FCC amends its rules to prohibit any 
modification applications that expand the authorized contour of an 
existing licensee if the bandwidth subject to the modification 
application is greater than 12.5 kHz, beginning six months after notice 
of the Order is published in the Federal Register. These actions will 
effect a transition to a narrowband channel plan. The resulting gain in 
efficiency will ease congestion on the PLMRS channels in these bands.

B. Summary of Significant Issues Raised by Public Comments in Response 
to the IRFA

    6. No comments or reply comments were filed in direct response to 
the IRFA. The FCC has, however, reviewed the general comments that may 
impact small businesses. Much of the potential impact on small 
businesses arises from the mandatory migration to 12.5 kHz technology 
beginning on January 1, 2013, the ban on importation and manufacture of 
25 kHz equipment after January 1, 2008 and the freeze on new 25 kHz 
applications. The costs associated with replacement of current systems 
were cited in opposition to mandatory conversion proposals.

C. Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to Which 
the Rules Apply

    7. The RFA directs agencies to provide a description of and, where 
feasible, an estimate of the number of small entities that may be 
affected by the rules adopted. The RFA generally defines the term 
``small entity'' as having the same meaning as the terms ``small 
business,'' ``small organization,'' and ``small governmental 
jurisdiction.'' In addition, the term ``small business'' has the same 
meaning as the term

[[Page 42297]]

``small business concern'' under the Small Business Act. A small 
business concern is one which: (1) Is independently owned and operated; 
(2) is not dominant in its field of operation; and (3) satisfies any 
additional criteria established by the Small Business Administration 
(SBA). A small organization is generally ``any not-for-profit 
enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not 
dominant in its field.'' Nationwide, as of 1992, there were 
approximately 275,801 small organizations.
    8. The rule changes effectuated by this Order apply to licensees 
and applicants of private land mobile frequencies in the 150-174 MHz 
and 421-512 MHz bands, and to manufactures of radio equipment.
    9. Private Land Mobile Radio. PLMR systems serve an essential role 
in a vast range of industrial, business, land transportation and public 
service activities. These radios are used by companies of all sizes 
that operate in all U.S. business categories. Because of the vast array 
of PLMR users, the FCC had not developed, nor would it be possible to 
develop, a definition of small entities specifically applicable to PLMR 
users. For the purpose of determining whether a licensee is a small 
business as defined by the Small Business Administration (SBA), each 
licensee would need to be evaluated within its own business area. The 
FCC's fiscal year 1994 annual report indicates that, at the end of 
fiscal year 1994, there were 1,087,276 licensees operating 12,481,989 
transmitters in the PLMR bands below 512 MHz. Further, because any 
entity engaged in a commercial activity is eligible to hold a PLMR 
license, these rules could potentially impact every small business in 
the U.S.
    10. Public Safety. Public safety radio services include police, 
fire, local governments, forestry conservation, highway maintenance, 
and emergency medical services. The SBA rules contain a definition for 
small radiotelephone (wireless) companies, which encompass business 
entities engaged in radiotelephone communications employing no more 
that 1,500 persons. There are a total of approximately 127,540 
licensees within these services. Governmental entities as well as 
private businesses comprise the licensees for these services. The RFA 
also includes small governmental entities as a part of the regulatory 
flexibility analysis. ``Small governmental jurisdiction'' generally 
means ``governments of cities, counties, towns, townships, villages, 
school districts, or special districts, with a population of less than 
50,000.'' As of 1992, there were approximately 85,006 such 
jurisdictions in the United States. This number includes 38,978 
counties, cities and towns; of these, 37,566, or 96 percent, have 
populations of fewer than 50,000. The Census Bureau estimates that this 
ratio is approximately accurate for all governmental entities. Thus, of 
the 85,006 governmental entities, the FCC estimates that 81,600 (96 
percent) are small entities.
    11. Equipment Manufacturers. We anticipate that at least six radio 
equipment manufacturers will be affected by our decisions in this 
proceeding. According to the SBA's regulations, a radio and television 
broadcasting and communications equipment manufacturer must have 750 or 
fewer employees in order to qualify as a small business concern. Census 
Bureau data indicate that there are 858 U.S. firms that manufacture 
radio and television broadcasting and communications equipment, and 
that 778 of these firms have fewer than 750 employees and would 
therefore be classified as small entities.

D. Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping and Other 
Compliance Requirements

    12. This Order adopts rules to promote the transition to narrowband 
technology for private land mobile licensees, in the 150-174 MHz and 
421-512 MHz bands. In particular, applications for operations on 25 kHz 
equipment will no longer be accepted six months after publication of 
this item in the Federal Register. Additionally, modification 
applications that expand the authorized contour of an existing licensee 
if the bandwidth subject to the modification application is greater 
than 12.5 kHz will be prohibited beginning six months after publication 
of this item in the Federal Register. On January 1, 2005, certification 
will not be afforded any equipment capable of operating at one voice 
path per 25 kHz of spectrum. Further, this Order amends the FCC's 
current rules to prohibit the importation or manufacture of 25 kHz-only 
equipment beginning on January 1, 2008. All equipment utilized in non-
public safety systems on or after January 1, 2018 must utilize a 
maximum channel bandwidth of 12.5 kHz. Lastly, all equipment utilized 
in public safety systems on or after January 1, 2018 must utilize a 
maximum channel bandwidth of 12.5 kHz.

E. Steps Taken To Minimize Significant Economic Impact on Small 
Entities and Significant Alternatives Considered

    13. The RFA requires an agency to describe any significant 
alternatives that it has considered in reaching its proposed approach, 
which may include the following four alternatives (among others): (1) 
The establishment of differing compliance or reporting requirements or 
timetables that take into account the resources available to small 
entities; (2) the clarification, consolidation, or simplification of 
compliance or reporting requirements under the rule for small entities; 
(3) the use of performance, rather than design, standards; and (4) an 
exemption from coverage of the rule, or any part thereof, for small 
entities.
    14. The FCC adopted rules in this Order upon consideration of the 
economic burden on small businesses. For instance, many commenters 
supported adoption of rules that would require conversion to 12.5 kHz 
equipment as early as January 1, 2005. Such a proposal fails to give 
any consideration to the amortization and life-span of current 
equipment and the resources available to small entities. Rather than 
require small business licensees to convert its system to 12.5 kHz or 
equivalent technology beginning on January 1, 2005, the FCC delays 
mandatory migration to 12.5 kHz or equivalent technology until January 
1, 2013 for non-public safety PLMR systems and until January 1, 2018 
for public safety systems. Similarly, the rule changes permit 
modification to existing licensees, while the comments did not reflect 
such a consideration. The Order rejected a phased approach that would 
have burdened licensees to determine which market and which date 
applied to them. Although the FCC also takes intermediary steps to 
promote migration to 12.5 kHz equipment, it notes that none of the 
intermediary steps require the incumbent to immediately cease use of 25 
kHz equipment. Exemption from coverage of the rule changes for small 
businesses would frustrate the purpose of the rule, i.e., migration to 
more efficient spectrum use, and facilitate continued inefficient use 
of spectrum.
    15. Report to Congress: The FCC will send a copy of this Order, 
including this FRFA, in a report to be sent to Congress pursuant to the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, see 5 
U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A). In addition, the FCC will send another copy of the 
Order, including the FRFA, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the 
Small Business Administration. A copy of the Order and FRFA (or 
summaries thereof) will also be published in the Federal Register. See 
5 U.S.C. 604(b).
