We are therefore amending Section 1.1307(b) to state that RF exposure compliance statements are not required in blanket license applications for portable earth-station transceivers subject to mandatory certification pursuant to Part 2. We are also adopting an amendment to modify an information-filing requirement in Section 25.132(a) that would be similarly redundant if imposed on applicants for blanket licenses for GMPCS transceivers subject to mandatory certification . We are not eliminating all requirements for submission of technical information in blanket license applications for GMPCS transceivers, however.

  • SIA argues that the rule should refer to Section 25.209(g) as well. According to SIA, it is necessary to start the Ku-band antenna gain pattern at 1.25� off-axis to include 1.2-meter Ku-band earth stations in the "routine" classification. Discussion. SIA is correct. By neglecting to refer to Section 25.209(g) in the streamlined non-routine earth station procedures set forth in Sections 25.132(b)(3) and 25.220 as revised in the Fifth Report and Order, the Commission had inadvertently made some routine Ku-band earth station applications subject to the non-routine earth station procedures. However, those rule revisions are superceded by the revisions to the antenna gain pattern envelope requirements adopted in the Eighth Report and Order above. C.

Further, we propose to revise certain Part 25 rules to make the requirements more precise. For example, Section 25.115(a)(2) of the Commission's rules, listing earth station application requirements, refers to ``transmitting'' earth stations. This language could be misunderstood to exclude transmit/receive earth stations. In this and other similar cases, we invite comment on making rule language more precise without changing
