    💰

    Citation:89 FR 104536
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is seeking public comments on its information collection practices as part of efforts to reduce paperwork burdens, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Feedback is requested on the necessity and utility of collecting this information, as well as suggestions for improving its quality and minimizing the burden on small businesses. Comments are due by February 21, 2025, and can be submitted via email to Nicole Ongele at the FCC. This notice specifically addresses requirements related to unlicensed devices in TV White Space Broadcast Bands, which help prevent interference with TV reception.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Communications Commission wants to know if the way they collect information, like how remote-control toys work, is helpful and not too hard for small businesses. They also want to hear if this information helps to make sure TV signals aren't messed up by other devices.

  • 2020-28025 — Amendment of the Commission's Rules To Provide for the Preservation of One Vacant Channel in the UHF Television Band for Use by White Space Devices and Wireless Microphones
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 9297
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    In a recent decision, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chose not to adopt the rules it proposed in 2015 to reserve a vacant channel in the UHF Television Band for use by white space devices and wireless microphones. The FCC found that these rules were no longer necessary due to changes in the TV spectrum landscape following the Incentive Auction and actions the FCC has taken since 2015 to support these technologies. They believe continuing with existing measures is more effective and avoids burdening broadcasters with additional requirements. Consequently, the FCC has ended the proceeding.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC decided not to make a special channel for certain gadgets and microphones because they already made other changes that help, and adding more rules would just make it harder for TV stations.
