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 97-5). We received the rule on January 31, 1997. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on January 31, 1997. 62 Fed. Reg. 4649. The final rule makes available 300 megahertz of spectrum at 5.15-5.35 GHz and 5.725-5.825 GHz for use by a new category of unlicensed equipment called Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) devices. The U-NII devices will provide short-range, high speed wireless digital communications on an unlicensed basis. The FCC anticipates that the U-NII devices will support the creation of new wireless local area networks and will facilitate wireless access to the National Information Infrastructure. Enclosed is our assessment of the FCC's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review indicates that the FCC complied with the applicable requirements. GAO/OGC-97-19
