Hollings Ranking Minority Member Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate The Honorable Thomas J. Bliley, Jr. Chairman The Honorable John D. Dingell Ranking Minority Member Committee on Commerce House of Representatives Subject: Federal Communications Commission: Unlicensed NII Devices in the 5 GHz Frequency Range Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), entitled Unlicensed NII Devices in the 5 GHz Frequency Range (ET Docket No. 96- 102, FCC 98-121). We received the rule on August 18, 1998. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on July 31, 1998. 63 Fed. Reg. 40831. The final rule responds to petitions for reconsideration of a prior rule issued by the FCC concerning the 5 GHz spectrum involving Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) devices. The prior rule was the subject of our major rule report dated February 14, 1997 (B-276123, GAO/OGC-97-19). This final rule permits the devices to operate with one watt maximum transmitter output power and directional antennas of up to 23 dBi gain. Also, the rule amends the prior rule to specify transmit power limits in the form of a logarithmic equation as a function of channel bandwidth for all U-NII devices in all U-NII bands and clarifies the rule regarding unwanted emissions and specifies these limits in terms of absolute radiated power levels.
