The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved new information collection requirements that allow the use of unlicensed devices in the 6 GHz band and establish new rules for broadband operations in the 900 MHz band. The rules are part of FCC's efforts to expand wireless services and enable broadband deployment. The compliance date for these changes, which will require modifications to existing procedures and forms, is February 19, 2021. These changes aim to promote the efficient use of spectrum and support innovative wireless technologies.
