    Citation:89 FR 97559
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) approval of information collection rules related to public safety communications in the 4.9 GHz band. These rules aim to gather detailed technical data from public safety agencies, which must be submitted to the FCC's Universal Licensing System starting December 9, 2024. The data collection involves new licensing requests and updates for existing operations, with a deadline for incumbent licensees set for June 9, 2025. The efforts are part of an initiative to enhance public safety communication measures in this frequency band.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC wants to make sure that emergency workers like firefighters and police can talk to each other better using special radios. To do this, they need to collect some information from the people who use these radios, and this process will begin on December 9, 2024, with more details required by June 9, 2025.

  • 2021-03426 — Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau Modify Suspensions of Acceptance and Processing of Certain Part 22 and Part 90 Applications for 470-512 MHz (T-Band) Spectrum

    Citation:86 FR 10278
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a modification in how it will handle certain applications for the 470-512 MHz T-Band spectrum. Originally, applications were paused because the T-Band frequencies were expected to be reallocated. Now, after a new law negated the reallocation, the FCC will resume processing applications for renewing existing licenses and processing other pending applications. Additionally, the FCC will allow a period during which applicants and coordinators can prepare new applications, followed by a time frame when certain applications will be accepted from existing license holders only. These changes aim to enhance access to T-Band channels without unnecessary delays.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC is going to start looking at and deciding on certain radio requests that were on hold because of a change in laws about how some special radio waves, called the T-Band, are used. They're going to let people who already have licenses make requests first, before any new people.
