47 CFR Part 97

[WT Docket No. 04-140; DA 06-2379]


Amateur Service Rules

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations 
which were published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, November 15, 
2006, (71 FR 66460). This amendment will clarify that the 500 Hz 
limitation in the definition applies only to the emission types that 
were added to the definition of data when these emissions transmitted 
on amateur service frequencies below 30 MHz.

DATES: Effective December 15, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William T. Cross, Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau at (202) 418-0691, or TTY (202) 418-7233.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 10, 2006, the Commission released a Report and Order, 
FCC 06-149, at 71 FR 66460, November 15, 2006, which incorrectly 
defined some of the ``Data. Telemetry, telecommand and computer 
communications emissions'' under 47 CFR 97.3(c)(2)(ii) and (c)(2)(iii) 
in the Amateur Radio Service proceeding in WT Docket No. 04-140. The 
Erratum corrects the rule amendments in Sec. Sec.  97.3(c)(2)(ii) and 
(c)(2)(iii) of the Report and Order. The overall effect of this action 
is to revise Sec.  97.3(c)(2) to conform the rule to the pertinent 
discussion in the text of the Report and Order.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations contain errors which may prove 
to be misleading and need to be clarified.
