Comment Date: 30 days from publication in the Federal Register

Reply Comment Date: 21 days after comments are due

By this Public Notice, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and the Office of Engineering

and Technology invite interested parties to update and refresh the record pertaining to two specific issues

raised in the Commission’s 2010 Wireless Microphones Further Notice1 – (1) whether the Commission

should provide for a limited expansion of license eligibility that would permit some wireless microphone

and other low power auxiliary station users, which currently operate in the TV broadcast spectrum on an

unlicensed basis, to operate on a licensed basis under the Part 74 rules applicable to low power auxiliary

stations (LPAS); and (2) what steps the Commission should take to promote more efficient use of this

spectrum by wireless microphones.2 We ask that these comments take into consideration recent industry

developments, including advances in wireless microphone technologies, as well as related Commission

proceedings that affect use of wireless microphones, including the TV White Spaces proceeding3 and the

Incentive Auctions proceeding proposing auction of spectrum currently allocated to television

Broadcasting.
