Parts of 600 MHz Repacking Rules Effective Dec. 17

FCC rules on the methodology to be used during the incentive auction to predict interservice interference between broadcasting and wireless services and on a cap on the aggregate amount of new interference a TV station may receive from other TV stations in the repacking process take effect Dec. 17, said a notice in Tuesday's Federal Register. Parts of the rules still being reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget don't take effect until the review is complete, the FCC said. Rules approved by the FCC in August allowing wireless mics to use new bands and share spectrum in the TV band (see 1508060050) also take effect Dec. 17, except for parts still being reviewed by OMB, said a second notice in the FR.
