FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 1

[WT Docket No. 03-66; RM-10586; FCC 04-135]


Facilitating the Provision of Fixed and Mobile Broadband Access, 
Educational and Other Advanced Services in the 2150-2162 and 2500-2690 
MHz Bands

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations, 
which were published in the Federal Register on Friday, December 10, 
2004, (69 FR 72020). The Commission published final rules in the Report 
and Order, that renamed the Instructional Television Fixed Service 
(ITFS) as the Educational Broadband Service (EBS) and renames the 
Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS) and the Multipoint 
Distribution Service (MDS) as the Broadband Radio Service (BRS). This 
document corrects the final regulations by revising Section 1.1307.

DATES: Effective January 10, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy J. Brooks, Office of Engineering 
and Technology, (202) 418-2454 e-mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final regulations that are the subject 
of this correction relate to final rules in the Report and Order, which 
transformed the rules and policies governing the licensing of the 
Instructional Television Fixed Service (ITFS) the Multichannel 
Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS) and the Multipoint Distribution 
Service (MDS), in the 2500-2690 bands.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations contain errors, which require 
immediate correction.
