This order adopted a revision to a Commission rule, 47 CFR 74.802(b),
to permit low power auxiliary stations (LPAS), including wireless
microphones, to operate in the bands allocated for TV broadcasting at
revised distances from a co-channel television's contour, and provided
LPAS operators to operate even closer to television stations provided
that any such operations are coordinated with TV broadcast stations
that could be affected by the LPAS operations. The Commission seeks
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information
collection for the coordination process adopted in the Commission's
Report and Order, FCC 14-50 for such co-channel operations, in 47 CFR
74.802d(b)(2).
