WRC-15 Order

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document makes non-substantive, editorial revisions to 
the Table of Frequency Allocations (Allocation Table) and to various 
other Commission rules. The purpose of this action is to update the 
International Table of Frequency Allocations (International Table) to 
reflect the decisions made at an international conference, to update 
the Federal Table of Frequency Allocations (Federal Table) within the 
Commission's rules in those frequency bands where such an action would 
have no substantive effect on non-Federal licensees, to remove outdated 
provisions from the Commission's rules, and to ensure that the 
Allocation Table and related rules are consistent with the Commission's 
decisions in recent rulemaking proceedings.

DATES: Effective July 27, 2020.

Synopsis

ORDER

    1. By this action, the Commission amends parts 1, 2, 15, 18, 27, 
and 95 of its rules to make non-substantive, editorial revisions to the 
Allocation Table and to revise various other rules. This action is not 
intended to modify or otherwise change any party's underlying rights 
and/or responsibilities. In particular, the Commission updates the 
International Table within the Allocation Table to reflect, for 
informational purposes only, the decisions made at the World 
Radiocommunication Conference 2015 (WRC-15). In addition, the 
Commission makes certain amendments to the Federal Table, for 
informational purposes only, based on the recommendations of the 
National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), 
which pertain solely to spectrum allocated exclusively for Federal use 
or where non-Federal use is limited to secondary services. WRC-15 
implementation matters of a substantive nature will be addressed in a 
separate notice of proposed rulemaking.

DISCUSSION

A. Reflecting WRC-15 Revisions in the International Table

    2. The Commission updates the International Table within section 
2.106 of the rules to reflect Article 5, Section IV of the Radio 
Regulations (Edition of 2016), except where minor corrections or 
updates have been made. The International Table is included within the 
Commission's Allocation Table for informational purposes only.

B. Reflecting WRC-15 Revisions in the U.S. Table

References to International Footnotes in the U.S. Table
    3. The United States Table of Frequency Allocations (U.S. Table) 
includes references to ten international footnotes (5.134, 5.223, 
5.260, 5.268, 5.287, 5.327A, 5.443B, 5.396, 5.501A, and 5.511C), which 
WRC-15 revised or deleted. Because these footnotes are included in the 
U.S. Table, the Commission reviewed these footnotes and finds that the 
WRC-15 revisions will have no substantive effect on non-Federal 
operations. Specifically, the Commission:
     Removes the references to international footnotes 5.223 
and 5.260 from the U.S. Table because WRC-15 removed these 
international footnotes and the underlying primary radionavigation-
satellite service allocation from the 149.9-150.05 MHz and 399.9-400.05 
MHz bands from the Radio Regulations, making the references to these 
international footnotes in the U.S. Table no longer necessary.
     Revises international footnotes 5.327A and 5.443B by 
updating the cross references from Resolution 417 (Rev.WRC-12) and 
Resolution 741 (Rev.WRC-12), respectively, to the version of these 
resolutions that are currently shown in the Radio Regulations, i.e., 
``(Rev.WRC-15).'' As noted above, the Commission is also updating cross 
references to Resolution 517 (Rev.WRC-07) and Resolution 33 (Rev.WRC-
03) contained in footnotes 5.134 and 5.396, respectively. WRC-15 made 
editorial changes to the text of these resolutions. The revised text of 
these international footnotes can be used in the U.S. Table since the 
changes do not have a substantive impact on non-Federal operations.
     Revises international footnote 5.268 by removing the 
extra-vehicular activity (EVA) and five-kilometer restrictions from 
Federal space research service (SRS) operations in the 410-420 MHz 
band. Because non-Federal stations in the 410-420 MHz band don't have a 
co-primary status, they ``cannot claim protection from harmful 
interference from stations of a primary service to which frequencies 
are already assigned or may be assigned at a later date,'' and thus, 
applying the text that WRC-15 adopted for footnote 5.268 is a non-
substantive, editorial action.
     Updates the text of international footnote 5.287 to 
reflect the changes adopted by WRC-15, noting that this footnote was 
revised to specify the frequency bands that are available for on-board 
communication stations in the maritime mobile service and to state that 
the ``characteristics of the equipment and the channelling arrangement 
shall be in accordance with Recommendation ITU-R M.1174-3.'' These 
changes increase the number of available frequencies from the existing 
ten to 34 and also could be misinterpreted as requiring the use of a 
channeling plan different from that currently used in U.S. territorial 
waters, which is shown in footnote US288. As a result, because footnote 
5.287 appears in the 456-470 MHz range in the U.S. Table, the 
Commission moves the pre-WRC-15 text of footnote 5.287 into placeholder 
footnote US287 so that these changes to the international footnote can 
be considered by the Commission in its planned WRC-15 implementation 
notice of proposed rulemaking. Consequently, the Commission also amends 
the respective frequency bands in the U.S. Table by replacing the 
reference to footnote 5.287 with that of footnote US287.
Revisions to the Federal Table
    4. In this section, the Commission addresses the modifications NTIA 
made to certain Federal allocations for

[[Page 38631]]

purposes of implementing the WRC-15 Final Acts, which were submitted to 
the Commission on September 10, 2018. In line with NTIA's changes, the 
Commission revises the Federal Table in its rules to reflect, for 
informational purposes only, changes to the following bands that are 
allocated exclusively for Federal use: 7190-7250 MHz, 7300-7750 MHz and 
14.5-14.8 GHz; and the following bands with primary Federal allocations 
that contain only secondary non-Federal allocations: 1215-1240 MHz and 
13.4-13.75 GHz. Specifically, the Commission:
     Adds to the Federal Table a primary allocation for the 
Earth exploration-satellite service (EESS) (Earth-to-space) in the 
7190-7250 MHz band and two international footnotes (5.460A, 5.460B) 
that limit the use of this EESS uplink allocation. Footnote 5.460A 
limits the EESS uplink allocation to tracking, telemetry and command 
for the operation of spacecraft, and, e.g., specifies that space 
stations operating under this allocation in the 7190-7250 MHz band may 
not claim protection from stations in the fixed and mobile services. 
Footnote 5.460B states that EESS geostationary satellites receiving in 
the 7190-7235 MHz band may not claim protection from existing and 
future stations of the space research service. The Commission also 
replaces footnote G133 with international footnote 5.460.
     Adds to the Federal Table a primary allocation for the 
maritime mobile-satellite service (MMSS) (space-to-Earth) in the 7375-
7750 MHz bands and two international footnotes (5.461AA, 5.461AB) that 
limit the use of this MMSS downlink allocation. Footnote 5.461AA limits 
MMSS use of the band to geostationary-satellite orbit (GSO) networks 
and footnote 5.461AB specifies that MMSS earth stations receiving in 
the band may not claim protection from, nor constrain the use and 
development of, stations in the fixed and mobile, except aeronautical 
mobile, services. In addition, the Commission replaces the existing 
secondary mobile-satellite service (space-to-Earth) allocation entry in 
the 7375-7750 MHz band with a secondary mobile-satellite ``except 
maritime mobile-satellite'' service (space-to-Earth) allocation entry, 
and in the 7375-7450 MHz band, the Commission also adds a primary 
mobile except aeronautical mobile service allocation.
     Adds to the Federal Table international footnote 5.509G to 
the right of the existing secondary space research service (SRS) 
allocation entry in the 14.5-14.8 GHz band. Footnote 5.509G states that 
the 14.5-14.8 GHz band is also allocated to SRS on a primary basis, 
limited to satellite systems operating in the Earth-to-space (uplink) 
direction to relay data to space stations in the geostationary-
satellite orbit (GSO) from associated earth stations; that primary 
stations in the SRS may not cause harmful interference to, or claim 
protection from, stations operating under the fixed, mobile, and fixed-
satellite services; and that other uses of this frequency band by the 
SRS are on a secondary basis.
     Updates footnote G132, which applies to the 1215-1240 MHz 
band, to cross reference the revised Resolution 608, replacing ``(WRC-
03)'' with ``(Rev.WRC-15).'' WRC-15 revised Resolution 608 (WRC-03) by 
noting that Recommendation ITU-R M.1902 and Report ITU-R M.2284 apply 
to radionavigation-satellite service (space-to-Earth) use of the 1215-
1300 MHz band.
     Subjects the use of the existing primary Federal space 
research service (SRS) allocation in the 13.4-13.75 GHz band to new 
international footnotes 5.499C and 5.499D as well as modified footnote 
5.501A. Because footnote 5.501B limits the impact of the space research 
service (active) in the band on the radiolocation service and the only 
non-Federal licensee in the band is in the radiolocation service, the 
Commission finds that this action is non-substantial.
Other Revisions to the U.S. Table
    5. The Commission makes the following non-substantive, editorial 
changes to the U.S. Table and to FCC Rule part cross references within 
section 2.106 of the rules:
     Update footnote NG159 to remove the reference to part 74, 
subpart E, because the aural broadcast auxiliary stations are no longer 
licensed to operate on frequencies in the 698-806 MHz band, which has 
been reallocated and licensed for mobile broadband use.
     Add footnote US84 to the 941-944 MHz band in the Federal 
Table, which was inadvertently omitted when the Commission revised 
footnote US84 by adding the 941.5-944 MHz band.
     Add footnote NG527A to the 10.7-11.7 GHz band, which was 
inadvertently omitted from the non-Federal Table of Frequency 
Allocations (non-Federal Table) when the footnote was adopted in the 
ESIMs Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
     Delete the entries for EESS (passive), SRS (passive), and 
footnotes 5.562B, 5.562F, and 5.562G from the 155.5-158.5 GHz band. The 
transition period concluded in 2018, and these two allocations and 
three footnotes are no longer needed.
     Update the contact information for the National Science 
Foundation in footnotes US99 and US385 and sections 27.1321(b) and 
95.2309(f)(3) of the Commission's Rules.
     Revise the FCC Rule Part(s) column of the Allocation Table 
by adding a part 15 cross reference (i.e., ``RF Devices (15)'') to the 
902-928 MHz, 2400-2483.5 MHz, 5850-5925 MHz, 28.35-29.1 GHz, and 84-86 
GHz bands; by removing the part 15 cross reference from the 29.1-29.25 
GHz and 45.5-46.9 GHz bands; and by adding a part 101 cross reference 
(i.e., ``Fixed Microwave (101)'') to the 84-86 GHz band.

C. Other Conforming Rule Revisions

    6. The Commission makes the following non-substantive, editorial 
updates to the Commission's rules:
     Correct sections 1.1307(b)(2)(ii), 2.1091(c)(2), and 
2.1093(c)(1) of the rules by revising the cross reference to section 
15.255 from paragraph ``(g)'' to ``(f).'' This action reflects the 
paragraph re-designation adopted in the Spectrum Frontiers 1st R&O.
     Revise section 2.100 to note that the International Table 
has been updated to reflect the 2016 edition of the Radio Regulations.
     Revise section 2.101 to reflect Section I of Article 2 of 
the Radio Regulations. Specifically, the Commission deletes the column 
titled ``Metric abbreviations for the bands'' from the table in section 
2.101, and also delete the duplicate table from that section.
     Revise sections 2.102 and 2.105 by replacing the archaic 
term ``band(s) of frequencies'' with ``frequency band(s).''
     Revise section 2.104 to state that the international 
footnotes shown in the International Table are applicable only to the 
relationships between the United States and other countries (unless a 
reference to an international footnote has been added to the U.S. 
Table).
     Revise the text in section 2.105(d)(2) without changing 
its underlying meaning or implication. Also revise the factual 
description in section 2.105(e) of the informational cross references 
that appear in column 6 of the Table of Allocations set out in section 
2.106. The revision would recognize that the column 6 cross references 
sometimes include a reference to an FCC Rule subpart instead of an FCC 
Rule part and that an FCC Rule part or subpart may apply to only a 
portion of a frequency band. Finally, the Commission adds the following 
clarifying note: The radio frequency devices authorized pursuant

[[Page 38632]]

to 47 CFR part 15 are not based on allocated radio services. In the 
Allocation Table, the cross references to part 15 are used to note 
those frequency bands that are most typically associated with 
unlicensed use.
     Revise section 2.107 to cross reference the international 
notification requirements of radio astronomy stations, specified in No. 
11.12 of Article 11 and Annex 2 of Appendix 4 of the Radio Regulations.
     Correct a typographical error in the heading of section 
15.510 to provide consistency with paragraphs (b) and (c).
     Revise section 18.301 by replacing ``allocated'' with 
``designated'' in the second sentence, simplifying the display of three 
ISM frequencies (i.e., remove unnecessary commas from 2,450 MHz and 
5,800 MHz and change 24,125 MHz to 24.125 GHz) in the table, and by 
deleting the note below the table. The Commission takes these actions 
to make this rule more consistent with international footnote 5.150 and 
to remove an unneeded and outdated cross reference.

Paperwork Reduction Act Analysis

    7. This document does not contain new or modified information 
collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA), Public Law 104-13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain 
any new or modified information collection burden for small business 
concerns with fewer than 25 employees, pursuant to the Small Business 
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(4).

Congressional Review Act

    8. The Commission has determined, and the Administrator of the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and 
Budget, concurs that this rule is non-major under the Congressional 
Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The Commission will send a copy of this 
Order to Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to 
5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).

Administrative Procedure Act Requirements

    9. The Commission amends parts 1, 2, 15, 18, 27, and 95 of the 
Commission's rules herein by incorporating non-substantive, editorial 
revisions only. Therefore, there is good cause for not employing the 
notice and comment procedure in this case. Specifically, the Commission 
finds that the normal procedures for notice and comment and for 
publication as required under section 553 of the Administrative 
Procedure Act would be impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the 
public interest. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B); Kessler v. FCC, 326 F.2d 
673 (D.C. Cir. 1963).

Ordering Clause

    10. It is ordered that parts 1, 2, 15, 18, 27, and 95 of the 
Commission's rules, 47 CFR parts 1, 2, 15, 18, 27, and 95, are amended 
as set forth in the Appendix of the Order, effective 30 days after 
publication in the Federal Register. This action is taken pursuant to 
authority found in sections 4(i) and 303 of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 303, and in sections 0.11, 0.31, 
0.231(b) and 0.241(i) of the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR 0.11, 0.31, 
0.231(b) and 0.241(i).
    11. Petitions for reconsideration under 47 CFR 1.429 or 
applications for review by the Commission under 47 CFR 1.115 may be 
filed within 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Should 
no petitions for reconsideration or applications for review be timely 
filed, this proceeding shall be terminated, and its docket closed.

Sec.  2.102   Assignment of frequencies.

    (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the assignment of 
frequencies and frequency bands to all stations and classes of stations 
and the licensing and authorizing of the use of all such frequencies 
between 8.3 kHz and 275 GHz, and the actual use of such frequencies for

8. Section 2.105 is amended by revising paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) and 
(e) to read as follows:


Sec.  2.105   United States Table of Frequency Allocations.

* * * * *
    (d) * * *
    (1) The frequency band referred to in each allocation, column 4 for 
Federal operations and column 5 for non-Federal operations, is 
indicated in the left-hand top corner of the column. If there is no 
service or footnote indicated for a frequency band in column 4, then 
the Federal sector has no access to that band except as provided for by 
Sec.  2.103. If there is no service or footnote indicated for a 
frequency band in column 5, then the non-Federal sector has no access 
to that band except as provided for by Sec.  2.102.
    (2) When the type of service(s) permitted and any applicable 
footnote(s) are the same for a frequency band in the Federal Table and 
the non-Federal Table, columns 4 and 5 are merged, indicating that the 
frequency band is shared between the Federal and non-Federal sectors 
under the same conditions.
* * * * *
    (e) Rule part cross-references. If a frequency or frequency band 
has been allocated to a radiocommunication service in the non-Federal 
Table, then a cross reference may be added to the pertinent FCC Rule 
part (column 6 of Sec.  2.106) or, where greater specificity would be 
useful, to the pertinent subpart. For example, the band 849-851 MHz is 
allocated to the aeronautical mobile service for non-Federal use, rules 
for the use of the 849-851 MHz band have been added to part 22--Public 
Mobile Services (47 CFR part 22), and a cross reference, Public Mobile 
(22), has been added in column 6 of Sec.  2.106. The exact use that can 
be made of any given frequency or frequency band (e.g., channeling 
plans, allowable emissions, etc.) is given in the FCC Rule part(s) so 
indicated. The FCC Rule parts in this column are not allocations, may 
apply to only a portion of a band, and are provided for informational 
purposes only. This column also may contain explanatory notes for 
informational purposes only.

    Note 1 to paragraph (e):  The radio frequency devices authorized 
pursuant to 47 CFR part 15 are not based on allocated radio 
services. In the Allocation Table, the cross references to part 15 
are used to note those frequency bands that are most typically 
associated with unlicensed use.

shall not be constrained by HAPS. Systems using HAPS in the 
frequency band 31-31.3 GHz shall not cause harmful interference to 
the radio astronomy service having a primary allocation in the 
frequency band 31.3-31.8 GHz, taking into account the protection 
criterion as given in the most recent version of Recommendation ITU-
R RA.769. In order to ensure the protection of satellite passive 
services, the level of unwanted power density into a HAPS ground 
station antenna in the frequency band 31.3-31.8 GHz shall be limited 
to -106 dB(W/MHz) under clear-sky conditions, and may be increased 
up to -100 dB(W/MHz) under rainy conditions to mitigate fading due 
to rain, provided the effective impact on the passive satellite does 
not exceed the impact under clear-sky conditions. See Resolution 145 
(Rev.WRC-12). (WRC-15)

    5.551H The equivalent power flux-density (epfd) produced in the 
frequency band 42.5-43.5 GHz by all space stations in any non-
geostationary-satellite system in the fixed-satellite service 
(space-to-Earth), or in the broadcasting-satellite service operating 
in the frequency band 42-42.5 GHz, shall not exceed the following 
values at the site of any radio astronomy station for more than 2% 
of the time:

-230 dB(W/m\2\) in 1 GHz and -246 dB(W/m\2\) in any 500 kHz of the 
frequency band 42.5-43.5 GHz at the site of any radio astronomy 
station registered as a single-dish telescope; and
-209 dB(W/m\2\) in any 500 kHz of the frequency band 42.5-43.5 GHz 
at the site of any radio astronomy station registered as a very long 
baseline interferometry station.

    These epfd values shall be evaluated using the methodology given 
in Recommendation ITU-R S.1586-1 and the reference antenna pattern 
and the maximum gain of an antenna in the radio astronomy service 
given in Recommendation ITU-R RA.1631-0 and shall apply over the 
whole sky and for elevation angles higher than the minimum operating 
angle [thgr]min of the radiotelescope (for which a default value of 
5[deg] should be adopted in the absence of notified information).
    These values shall apply at any radio astronomy station that 
either:

--was in operation prior to 5 July 2003 and has been notified to the 
Bureau before 4 January 2004; or
--was notified before the date of receipt of the complete Appendix 4 
information for coordination or notification, as appropriate, for 
the space station to which the limits apply.

    Other radio astronomy stations notified after these dates may 
seek an agreement with administrations that have authorized the 
space stations. In Region 2, Resolution 743 (WRC-03) shall apply. 
The limits in this footnote may be exceeded at the site of a radio 
astronomy station of any country whose administration so agreed.
