47 CFR Part 15

[ET Docket No. 04-37 and ET Docket No. 03-104; FCC 06-113]


Broadband Over Power Line Systems

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document responds to the petitions for reconsideration of 
the Commission's rules for Access Broadband over Power Line (Access 
BPL) devices adopted in the Report and Order in this proceeding. The 
Commission is affirming the technical rules for BPL, and denying 
petitions for reconsideration that request delay, further study, or the 
exclusion of particular additional frequencies. The Commission is 
amending the rules to change the exclusion zone requirement for the ten 
listed radio astronomy facilities to a consultation requirement, and to 
add a new exclusion zone for one Very Large Array (VLA) radio astronomy 
observatory site at 73.0-74.6 MHz. In addition, it is also amending the 
rules to add prospective protection for relocated aeronautical 
facilities and to correct the coordinates and email contact for the 
aeronautical facilities subject to BPL consultation. The Commission 
affirms the deadline for requiring certification for any equipment 
manufactured, imported or installed on BPL systems, with the proviso 
that uncertified equipment already in inventory can be used for 
replacing defective units or to supplement equipment on existing 
systems for one year within areas already in operation. The Commission 
believes these changes will further the development and growth of BPL 
devices. It is denying the petitions for reconsideration in all other 
respects.

DATES: Effective September 22, 2006.

Summary of the Memorandum Opinion and Order

    1. In the Memorandum Opinion and Order, the Commission further 
amends part 15 of its rules regarding the unlicensed operation of 
Access broadband over power line (BPL) systems. Specifically, the rules 
are amended to change the exclusion zone requirement for the ten listed 
radio astronomy facilities to a consultation requirement, and to add a 
new exclusion zone for one Very Large Array (VLA) radio astronomy 
observatory site at 73.0-74.6 MHz. In addition, the Commission amends 
the rules to add prospective protection for relocated aeronautical 
facilities and to correct the coordinates and email contact for the 
aeronautical facilities subject to BPL consultation. The Commission 
affirms the July 7, 2006 deadline for requiring certification for any 
equipment manufactured, imported or installed on BPL systems, with the 
proviso that uncertified equipment already in inventory can be used for 
replacing defective units or to supplement equipment on existing 
systems for one year within areas already in operation. The Commission 
believes these changes will further the development and growth of BPL 
devices. The Commission denies the petitions for reconsideration in all 
other respects.

A. Notification to the Access BPL Database

    2. In the Report and Order, 70 FR 1360, January 7, 2005, in this 
proceeding, the Commission adopted a requirement that the Access BPL 
industry establish a publicly accessible database for system 
information. Under this requirement, entities operating Access BPL 
systems must provide to the BPL industry designated database manager 
certain information on BPL installations 30 days prior to the 
initiation of any operation or service. The BPL industry requested 
elimination of this 30-day advance notification.
    3. The Commission denied this request. It stated that the purpose 
of the database notification requirement is to ensure that licensed 
users of the spectrum have a publicly accessible and centralized source 
of information on BPL operations to determine whether there may be 
Access BPL operations on particular frequencies within their local area 
so that any incident of harmful interference can be resolved should it 
occur. The Commission noted that the BPL public database serves a 
unique function to identify the location and operating characteristics 
of BPL systems to entities other than those entitled to advance 
notification. The Commission however provided several clarifications 
regarding the notification process.

B. Transition Period

    4. The rules adopted in the Report and Order require that all 
Access BPL devices that are manufactured, imported, marketed or 
installed 18 months or later after the Federal Register publication of 
the Report and Order, i.e., after July 7, 2006, must comply with the 
newly adopted requirements of Subpart G of part 15 for BPL devices, 
including certification of the equipment. The BPL industry

[[Page 49377]]

requested an extension for another 18-month period.
    5. The Commission denied this request. It noted that an important 
element of interference avoidance and mitigation is the next generation 
of BPL equipment and its adherence to the rules adopted in the Report 
and Order. However, because BPL equipment manufacturers are only now 
submitting equipment for certification under the new rules, the Order 
permits for a period of 1 year the installation of existing equipment 
that otherwise meets the part 15 rules to replace defective units or to 
supplement equipment on existing systems within the areas where BPL 
systems are already in operation.

C. BPL Technical Parameters

    6. Extrapolation factor. In the Report and Order, the Commission 
specified measurement guidelines that require BPL systems to be tested 
in situ at three typical installations with overhead lines. Because it 
may not be possible or practicable to measure at the proposed fixed 
distances of 10 and 3 meters, distance extrapolation would be necessary 
for in situ testing and the Report and Order requires the use of the 
existing part 15 distance extrapolation factors, i.e., 40 dB/decade for 
frequencies below 30 MHz and 20 dB/decade for frequencies above 30 MHz. 
ARRL requested that the rules be changed to use 20 dB/decade at all 
frequencies for testing BPL systems.
    7. The Commission denied ARRL's petition. It stated that ARRL did 
not submit a convincing argument for modifying this requirement, and 
therefore it retains the existing extrapolation factors in part 15.
    8. Required Notch Depth. In the Report and Order, the Commission 
required that Access BPL systems have the capability to remotely reduce 
power and adjust operating frequencies to avoid site-specific, local 
use of the same spectrum used by licensed services. Notch filters are 
required to be capable of attenuating emissions to a level at least 20 
dB below the applicable part 15 limits in the case of frequencies below 
30 MHz and to a level at least 10 dB below the applicable part 15 
limits in the case of frequencies above 30 MHz. ARRL requested 
technical analysis supporting the 20 dB notch depth in the rules.
    9. The Commission reiterated that Access BPL operator is required 
to ensure that its operations do not cause harmful interference to 
licensed operators and that, if a 20 dB notch is not sufficient to 
eliminate such interference in specific cases, the operator must take 
further actions to eliminate that interference to fixed licensed 
operations. The Commission also explained in detail its decision for 
the selection of the 20 dB standard in response to ARRL's petition for 
reconsideration.
    10. The Commission therefore clarified that, except for mobile 
operations, Access BPL operators are responsible for resolving harmful 
interference that may occur even where their systems employ a 20/10 dB 
notch. Where an Access BPL operator implements such notching, the 
Commission will not provide any further protection to mobile 
operations, nor will it require the operator to resolve complaints of 
harmful interference to mobile operations over and above the ``notch.''
    11. Protection of the amateur radio service. On October 18, 2005, 
the ARRL filed a Petition for Issuance of Further Notice of Proposed 
Rule Making (FNPRM), in which it requested consideration of the same 
substantive points it submitted in its previous pleadings in this 
proceeding, e.g., avoid use of amateur radio frequencies by Access BPL 
systems, avoid use of the HF frequencies by Access BPL systems on 
overhead medium voltage lines, and require use of a 20 dB extrapolation 
factor in place of the existing 40 dB extrapolation factor. Although 
styled as a Petition for Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making,'' 
ARRL's pleading effectively constitutes a petition for reconsideration, 
as it seeks the same results previously sought by ARRL in this 
proceeding. The Commission therefore treated the Petition for FNPRM as 
a petition for reconsideration.
    12. The Commission denied ARRL's Petition, and noted that the rules 
adopted in the Report and Order, as modified by this Memorandum Opinion 
and Order, adequately address interference concerns and measurement 
procedures raised by Access BPL. The Commission noted that one 
``solution'' proposed by ARRL in its Petition for FNPRM--the use of 
wireless links for connection to the home--is not Access BPL, and thus, 
while a permissible service, is not pertinent to this proceeding. The 
other proposed ``solution''--complete avoidance of all HF frequencies--
would needlessly restrict BPL system design and reduce system capacity, 
without regard to whether there are amateurs that need protection from 
a particular BPL installation. The Commission concluded that this would 
result in a grossly inefficient utilization of Access BPL capacity, 
reducing the potential benefits of BPL and increasing its cost to the 
public, without a corresponding benefit or need.

D. Further Study of Access BPL Characteristics and Other Technical 
Requests

    13. A number of parties requested that all BPL deployments be 
prohibited pending the adoption of a definition for harmful 
interference and the completion of all ongoing studies of BPL and the 
initiation of further studies of BPL interference characteristics. They 
also requested more stringent technical restrictions on BPL operations.
    14. The Commission denied all these requests. It stated that it has 
taken a pro-active approach with regard to protection of licensed radio 
services in the Report and Order by placing additional technical and 
operational restrictions on BPL systems; and that the rules regarding 
emission levels and signal notching adopted in the Report and Order are 
adequate to fully protect fixed amateur operations and to protect the 
reasonable expectations and needs of mobile amateur operations. The 
Commission also noted that staying the rules as the ARRL requests could 
leave licensed radio services with less protection than is provided 
under the rules adopted in the BPL Report and Order. It also provided a 
detailed explanation for the basis of its decision making, and the 
Commission's statutory responsibilities under the Communications Act.
    15. The Commission also disagreed with ARRL's assertion that 
allegations of interference at some experimental BPL sites demonstrate 
that the adopted mitigation rules are ineffective. It stated that the 
BPL rules adopted in the Report and Order must be given time to be 
implemented. It stated that Access BPL equipment currently deployed is 
typically not designed to fully incorporate the interference mitigation 
capabilities set forth in the rules that have been put in place. 
Therefore, until Access BPL operators implement all of the required 
mitigation techniques, the Commission finds that it is premature to 
conclude that these rules are ineffective.

E. Other Requests

    16. Federal Government radio astronomy facility. The part 15 rules 
require Access BPL systems to avoid operating on the 73.0-74.6 MHz band 
used by the ten Very Long Baseline Array facilities of radio astronomy 
observatories within specific distances. The National 
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) requests 
changes in the exclusion zone requirements for certain radio astronomy 
facilities, including adding a

[[Page 49378]]

new exclusion zone for one Very Large Array (VLA) astronomy observatory 
site. It also requests a modification in the consultation requirements 
of the BPL rules to continue to protect the sites no longer covered by 
the exclusion zones. The Commission granted NTIA's request.
    17. Aeronautical service. In order to protect aeronautical 
operations, Access BPL systems operating on medium voltage lines are 
required to avoid operating in the frequency bands reserved for 
Aeronautical (R) frequencies and in the 74.8-75.2 MHz band. 
Aeronautical Radio, Inc. (ARINC) representing the Aeronautical Service 
requested that both In-House and Access BPL systems operating over low-
voltage lines be required to avoid using certain aeronautical 
frequencies. The Commission denied this request. It stated that it has 
already fully considered and disposed of this concern in the BPL Report 
and Order, and ARINC has provided no new argument or factual data to 
warrant reconsideration of this issue. It also noted that no 
interference complaints from aeronautical users traceable to In-House 
or low voltage BPL have been received or reported. The Commission 
however granted ARINC's request that the rules be clarified to state 
that continued protection will be provided for aeronautical facilities 
that are relocated.
    18. Broadcast television service. The part 15 rules allow Access 
BPL systems to operate between 1.7 and 80 MHz, over medium or low 
voltage lines. Television channels 2 to 5 are located within the bands 
from 54 MHz to 82 MHz. The Association for Maximum Service Television, 
Inc. (MSTV) representing the Broadcast Television service requested 
that BPL operations be confined to below 50 MHz to avoid disruptions TV 
service, and to Digital Television transition in particular. The 
Commission denied this request. It noted that MSTV has presented no 
compelling technical argument to justify this request. It pointed out 
that all known Access BPL equipment currently operates below 50 MHz, 
and it stated that if BPL equipment that operates on TV band 
frequencies were developed in the future to increase capacity, a system 
using such equipment could avoid any potential for interfering with TV 
service by operating on channels that are not used by TV stations in 
the system's service area.
    19. Critical infrastructure industry (CII). The rules require 
Access BPL operators to notify and consult with the public safety 
agencies in their local areas at least 30 days in advance of initiation 
of service and to respond to complaints of harmful interference from 
public safety users within 24 hours. The rules do not, however, make 
any such provision for protection of CII entities. The American 
Petroleum Institute (API) requested that oil and natural gas companies 
be considered as Critical Infrastructure Industries, as identified in 
the 800 MHz Order, in order to place them on par with public safety 
entities. The Commission denied API's request. It stated that its 800 
MHz Order is not directly pertinent to the considerations in the BPL 
proceeding, and in any event, did not give absolute public safety 
status to Critical Infrastructure Industries.
    20. Miscellaneous requests for additional operational restrictions 
on BPL. A number of parties request placing additional operational and 
administrative restrictions on BPL operations. The Commission denied 
all of these requests.

Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

    21. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended (RFA),\1\ 
requires that a regulatory flexibility analysis be prepared for 
rulemaking proceedings, unless the agency certifies that ``the rule 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities.'' \2\ The RFA generally defines the term ``small 
entity'' as having the same meaning as the terms ``small business,'' 
``small organization,'' and ``small governmental jurisdiction.'' \3\ In 
addition, the term ``small business'' has the same meaning as the term 
``small business concern'' under the Small Business Act.\4\ 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).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The RFA, see 5 U.S.C 601-612, has been amended by the 
Contract With America Advancement Act of 1996, Public Law 104-121, 
110 Stat. 847 (1966) (CWAAA). Title II of the CWAAA is the Small 
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA).
    \2\ 5 U.S.C. 605(b).
    \3\ 5 U.S.C. 601(6).
    \4\ 5 U.S.C. 601(3) (incorporating by reference the definition 
of ``small-business concern'' in the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 
632). Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 601(3), the statutory definition of a 
small business applies ``unless an agency, after consultation with 
the Office of Advocacy of the Small Business Administration and 
after opportunity for public comment, establishes one or more 
definitions of such term which are appropriate to the activities of 
the agency and publishes such definition(s) in the Federal 
Register.''
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 632.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    22. The Report and Order modified the part 15 rules to allow for 
Access Broadband over Power Line (Access BPL) systems, a new type of 
carrier current system that operates on an unlicensed basis under part 
15. A Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis was incorporated in the 
Report and Order.\6\ Following publication of the Report and Order, 
fifteen parties filed for reconsideration regarding various aspects of 
the part 15 BPL regulations. A list of the petitioners, along with the 
abbreviations used to identify them and the parties that filed comments 
in response to the petitions, is attached as Appendix A to the 
Memorandum Opinion and Order. In the Memorandum Opinion and Order, the 
Commission amends the rules to replace the exclusion zone requirement 
for the ten listed radio astronomy facilities with an exclusion zone 
for one Very Large Array (VLA) radio astronomy observatory site at 
73.0-74.6 MHz, which would significantly reduce potential deployment 
constraints on Access BPL installations. In addition, we are amending 
the rules to add prospective protection for relocated aeronautical 
facilities, which merely continues to provide protection to these 
stations. Finally, we correct the coordinates and e-mail contacts for 
the aeronautical facilities subject to BPL consultation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Report and Order in ET Docket No. 04-37, 19 FCC Rcd 
21265, 21322 (2004), 70 FR 1360, January 7, 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    23. The Commission found that these changes will not result in a 
``significant economic burden'' on manufacturers. Therefore, the 
Commission certified that the amendments included in this Memorandum 
Opinion and Order will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities.
    24. The Commission will send a copy of the Memorandum Opinion and 
Order, including a copy of this final certification, in a report to 
Congress pursuant to the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness 
Act of 1996.\7\ In addition, the Memorandum Opinion and Order and this 
certification will be sent to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the 
Small Business Administration.
