FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 101

[WT Docket No. 10-153; RM-11602; FCC 12-122]


Facilitating the Use of Microwave for Wireless Backhaul and Other 
Uses and Providing Additional Flexibility to Broadcast Auxiliary 
Service and Operational Fixed Microwave Licensees

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) published a 
document in the Federal Register of September 5, 2012. In this 
document, the FCC on its own motion, pursuant to Sec.  1.108 of the 
Commission's rules, corrects the channel center frequencies to align 
the wider 60 and 80 megahertz channels with the existing 30 and 40 
megahertz channels in part 101 of our rules in the Wireless Backhaul 
2nd R&O and issues this limited modification of the Wireless Backhaul 
2nd R&O, in order to establish more efficient channel assignments, 
consistent with the Commission's intent to improve spectrum utilization 
in these bands. In addition, the FCC corrects an entry to the table in 
Sec.  101.115(b)(2).

DATES: Effective December 12, 2012.

Telecommunications

Wireless Backhaul 2nd R&O, FCC 12-87, published at 77 FR 54421 
(September 5, 2012). The table under Frequency assignments, Sec. Sec.  
101.147(i)(9) and 101.147(o)(8) were incorrect and an entry to the 
table under Directional antennas in Sec.  101.115(b)(2) is incorrect. 
This document makes the following corrections.
