Fri., FCC proposed to permit entities providing public safety DSRC operations to use 5.9 GHz band. It also proposed to apply application, licensing and processing rules under part 90 of Commission’s rules for public safety entities. FCC also proposed to apply competitive bidding procedures under Commission’s Part 1 competitive bidding rules in case it allowed non-public safety radio applications in 5.9 GHz band and in case licensing scheme it selected for those ITS applications resulted in mutually exclusive licenses. FCC also requested comments on issues raised by 2 petitions for reconsideration or clarification of allocation order. Commission said it dismissed petitions from PanAmSat, which was seeking reconsideration of FCC’s decision that prior coordination between DSRC operations applications and fixed satellite service (FSC) uplinks was unnecessary, and from Mark IV Industries seeking reconsideration or clarification of power levels and emission mask requirements established in allocation order. Comments are due 60 days after Federal Register publication, replies 90 days.
