FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 90
[WT Docket No. 99-87; RM-9332; FCC 03-34]
Implementation of Sections 309(j) and 337 of the Communications
Act of 1934 as Amended and Promotion of Spectrum Efficient Technologies
on Certain Part 90 Frequencies
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this document the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
amends its rules to include a long-term schedule for the migration of
Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) systems, using frequencies in the 150-
174 MHz and 421-512 MHz bands, to narrowband technology. Review of the
FCC's equipment certification rules and the record revealed a slower
pace to narrowband technology than is desired. Therefore, the FCC
amended its rules to encourage spectral efficiency in the shared PLMR
bands and to facilitate timely transition to narrowband technology in
the shared PLMR bands. These amendments to the FCC's rules are intended
to produce more efficient use of PLMR spectrum in the 150-174 MHz and
421-512 MHz bands.
DATES: Effective September 15, 2003.

Order:
[sbull] Prohibits the filing of applications for new operations
using 25 kHz channels, beginning six months after publication of the
Order in the Federal Register.
[sbull] Prohibits any modification applications that expand the
authorized contour of an existing station if the bandwidth for
transmissions specified in the modification application is greater than
12.5 kHz, beginning six months after publication of the Order in the
Federal Register.
[sbull] Prohibits the certification of any equipment capable of
operating at one voice path per 25 kHz of spectrum, i.e. equipment that
includes a 25 kHz mode, beginning January 1, 2005.
[sbull] Prohibits the manufacture and importation of any 150-174
MHz and 421-512 MHz band equipment that can operate on a 25 kHz
bandwidth, beginning January 1, 2008.
[sbull] Imposes deadlines for migration to 12.5 kHz technology for
PLMRS systems operating in the 150-174 MHz and 421-512 MHz bands. The
deadlines are: January 1, 2013 for non-public safety systems, and
January 1, 2018 for public safety systems.
Procedural Matters
A. Regulatory Flexibility Act Analyses
2. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), see 5
U.S.C. 604, the FCC has prepared a Final Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis of the possible impact of the rule changes contained in this
Order on small entities. The Final Regulatory Flexibility Act analysis
is set forth further. The FCC's Consumer Information Bureau, Reference
Information Center, will send a copy of this Order including the Final
to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Analysis
3. This Order does not contain any new or modified information
collection. Therefore, it is not subject to the requirements for a
paperwork reduction analysis, and we have not performed one.
Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
4. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), an Initial
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) was incorporated in the Order in
WT Docket 99-87. This present Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
(FRFA) conforms to the RFA.
A. Reason for, and Objectives of, the Order
5. The Order adopts rules to promote the transition to narrowband
technology in bands 150-174 MHz and 421-512 MHz. Specifically, the FCC
amends its rules to impose a deadline for migration to 2.5 kHz
technology for non-public safety PLMRS systems operating on those
bands, beginning January 1, 2013 and for public safety systems
operating on those bands, beginning January 1, 2018. In addition, the
FCC amends its rules to prohibit the certification of any equipment
capable of operating at one voice path per 25 kHz of spectrum, i.e.,
multi-mode equipment that includes a 25 kHz mode, beginning January 1,
2005. The FCC also prohibits the manufacture and importation of 25 kHz
equipment (including multi-mode equipment that can operate on a 25 kHz
bandwidth) beginning January 1, 2008. The FCC amends its rules to
prohibit any applications for new operations using 25 kHz channels
beginning six months after notice of the Order is published in the
Federal Register. Further, the FCC amends its rules to prohibit any
modification applications that expand the authorized contour of an
existing licensee if the bandwidth subject to the modification
application is greater than 12.5 kHz, beginning six months after notice
of the Order is published in the Federal Register. These actions will
effect a transition to a narrowband channel plan. The resulting gain in
efficiency will ease congestion on the PLMRS channels in these bands.
B. Summary of Significant Issues Raised by Public Comments in Response
to the IRFA
6. No comments or reply comments were filed in direct response to
the IRFA. The FCC has, however, reviewed the general comments that may
impact small businesses. Much of the potential impact on small
businesses arises from the mandatory migration to 12.5 kHz technology
beginning on January 1, 2013, the ban on importation and manufacture of
25 kHz equipment after January 1, 2008 and the freeze on new 25 kHz
applications. The costs associated with replacement of current systems
were cited in opposition to mandatory conversion proposals.
C. Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to Which
the Rules Apply
7. The RFA directs agencies to provide a description of and, where
feasible, an estimate of the number of small entities that may be
affected by the rules adopted. The RFA generally defines the term
``small entity'' as having the same meaning as the terms ``small
business,'' ``small organization,'' and ``small governmental
jurisdiction.'' In addition, the term ``small business'' has the same
meaning as the term
[[Page 42297]]
``small business concern'' under the Small Business Act. 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). A small organization is generally ``any not-for-profit
enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field.'' Nationwide, as of 1992, there were
approximately 275,801 small organizations.
8. The rule changes effectuated by this Order apply to licensees
and applicants of private land mobile frequencies in the 150-174 MHz
and 421-512 MHz bands, and to manufactures of radio equipment.
9. Private Land Mobile Radio. PLMR systems serve an essential role
in a vast range of industrial, business, land transportation and public
service activities. These radios are used by companies of all sizes
that operate in all U.S. business categories. Because of the vast array
of PLMR users, the FCC had not developed, nor would it be possible to
develop, a definition of small entities specifically applicable to PLMR
users. For the purpose of determining whether a licensee is a small
business as defined by the Small Business Administration (SBA), each
licensee would need to be evaluated within its own business area. The
FCC's fiscal year 1994 annual report indicates that, at the end of
fiscal year 1994, there were 1,087,276 licensees operating 12,481,989
transmitters in the PLMR bands below 512 MHz. Further, because any
entity engaged in a commercial activity is eligible to hold a PLMR
license, these rules could potentially impact every small business in
the U.S.
10. Public Safety. Public safety radio services include police,
fire, local governments, forestry conservation, highway maintenance,
and emergency medical services. The SBA rules contain a definition for
small radiotelephone (wireless) companies, which encompass business
entities engaged in radiotelephone communications employing no more
that 1,500 persons. There are a total of approximately 127,540
licensees within these services. Governmental entities as well as
private businesses comprise the licensees for these services. The RFA
also includes small governmental entities as a part of the regulatory
flexibility analysis. ``Small governmental jurisdiction'' generally
means ``governments of cities, counties, towns, townships, villages,
school districts, or special districts, with a population of less than
50,000.'' As of 1992, there were approximately 85,006 such
jurisdictions in the United States. This number includes 38,978
counties, cities and towns; of these, 37,566, or 96 percent, have
populations of fewer than 50,000. The Census Bureau estimates that this
ratio is approximately accurate for all governmental entities. Thus, of
the 85,006 governmental entities, the FCC estimates that 81,600 (96
percent) are small entities.
11. Equipment Manufacturers. We anticipate that at least six radio
equipment manufacturers will be affected by our decisions in this
proceeding. According to the SBA's regulations, a radio and television
broadcasting and communications equipment manufacturer must have 750 or
fewer employees in order to qualify as a small business concern. Census
Bureau data indicate that there are 858 U.S. firms that manufacture
radio and television broadcasting and communications equipment, and
that 778 of these firms have fewer than 750 employees and would
therefore be classified as small entities.
D. Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping and Other
Compliance Requirements
12. This Order adopts rules to promote the transition to narrowband
technology for private land mobile licensees, in the 150-174 MHz and
421-512 MHz bands. In particular, applications for operations on 25 kHz
equipment will no longer be accepted six months after publication of
this item in the Federal Register. Additionally, modification
applications that expand the authorized contour of an existing licensee
if the bandwidth subject to the modification application is greater
than 12.5 kHz will be prohibited beginning six months after publication
of this item in the Federal Register. On January 1, 2005, certification
will not be afforded any equipment capable of operating at one voice
path per 25 kHz of spectrum. Further, this Order amends the FCC's
current rules to prohibit the importation or manufacture of 25 kHz-only
equipment beginning on January 1, 2008. All equipment utilized in non-
public safety systems on or after January 1, 2018 must utilize a
maximum channel bandwidth of 12.5 kHz. Lastly, all equipment utilized
in public safety systems on or after January 1, 2018 must utilize a
maximum channel bandwidth of 12.5 kHz.
E. Steps Taken To Minimize Significant Economic Impact on Small
Entities and Significant Alternatives Considered
13. The RFA requires an agency to describe any significant
alternatives that it has considered in reaching its proposed approach,
which may include the following four alternatives (among others): (1)
The establishment of differing compliance or reporting requirements or
timetables that take into account the resources available to small
entities; (2) the clarification, consolidation, or simplification of
compliance or reporting requirements under the rule for small entities;
(3) the use of performance, rather than design, standards; and (4) an
exemption from coverage of the rule, or any part thereof, for small
entities.
14. The FCC adopted rules in this Order upon consideration of the
economic burden on small businesses. For instance, many commenters
supported adoption of rules that would require conversion to 12.5 kHz
equipment as early as January 1, 2005. Such a proposal fails to give
any consideration to the amortization and life-span of current
equipment and the resources available to small entities. Rather than
require small business licensees to convert its system to 12.5 kHz or
equivalent technology beginning on January 1, 2005, the FCC delays
mandatory migration to 12.5 kHz or equivalent technology until January
1, 2013 for non-public safety PLMR systems and until January 1, 2018
for public safety systems. Similarly, the rule changes permit
modification to existing licensees, while the comments did not reflect
such a consideration. The Order rejected a phased approach that would
have burdened licensees to determine which market and which date
applied to them. Although the FCC also takes intermediary steps to
promote migration to 12.5 kHz equipment, it notes that none of the
intermediary steps require the incumbent to immediately cease use of 25
kHz equipment. Exemption from coverage of the rule changes for small
businesses would frustrate the purpose of the rule, i.e., migration to
more efficient spectrum use, and facilitate continued inefficient use
of spectrum.
15. Report to Congress: The FCC will send a copy of this Order,
including this FRFA, in a report to be sent to Congress pursuant to the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, see 5
U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A). In addition, the FCC will send another copy of the
Order, including the FRFA, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the
Small Business Administration. A copy of the Order and FRFA (or
summaries thereof) will also be published in the Federal Register. See
5 U.S.C. 604(b).
