The Commission decided to designate one or more database admnistrator from the private sector to create and operate TV bands databases. This action is to provide certainty concerning the rules for operation of unlicensed transmitting devices in the television broadcast frequency bands. The resolutions of these issues will now allow manufacturers to begin marketing unlicensed communications devices and systems that operate on frequencies in the TV bands area where they are not used by licensed services. Due to the Commission recently expanding eligibility for low power auxiliary station licenses in FCC 14-62, this submission reflects the estimated shift in filings by new low power auxiliary station licensees that formally would have filed as unlicensed wireless microphone users.

There are program changes/increases of 200 to the burden hours and decreases of 200 to the burden hours. Therefore, this collection will not reflect any changes in the collection because the increase was offset by the decrease in the burden hours. We are increasing the number of respondents by 200 to include these newly-eligible low power auxiliary station licensees. Because these newly-eligible licensees would likely have been able to register on an unlicensed basis under section 15.713(h)(9) (and now will register as licensees instead), we are also decreasing by 200 the number of unlicensed low power auxiliary station operators who will register in the database on an unlicensed basis under section 15.713 (h)(9).
There are no adjustments to this collection.
