  8. FCC WAC Recommendations • In preparation for the next CITEL meeting, the WRC-19 Advisory Committee has approved positions on some of the agenda items • In PN DA-17-365, the FCC asks for public comment • DA-17-365A1 Public Notice • DA-17-365A2 Attachment A: WAC positions • DA-17-365A3 Attachment B: NTIA positions • Comments due May 8, 2017

  9. DA-17-365A2 Attachment A • Preliminary Views and Draft Proposals presented at April 18, 2017 Meeting of the World Radiocommunication Conference Advisory Committee • Agenda Item 9: to consider and approve the Report of the Director of the Radiocommunication Bureau, in accordance with Article 7 of the Convention • U.S View: The United States supports: • 1. The studies called for by Resolution 763 (WRC-15) noting that those studies need to be completed during this study cycle. • 2. Based on the outcome of those studies, consider a possible agenda item for WRC-23. • Agenda Item 1.1: to consider an allocation of the frequency band 50-54 MHz to the amateur service in Region 1, in accordance with Resolution 658 (WRC-15) • U.S. VIEW: WRC-19 Agenda Item 1.1 is a Region 1 issue. Any changes made to the Radio Regulations under WRC-19 Agenda Item 1.1 must not impact the existing allocation to the amateur service in 50 – 54 MHz in Region 2, nor subject Region 2 to any changed procedural or regulatory provisions.

  10. DA-17-365A2 Attachment A [2] • Agenda Item 1.11: to take necessary actions, as appropriate, to facilitate global or regional harmonized frequency bands to support railway radiocommunication systems between train and trackside within existing mobile service allocations, in accordance with Resolution 236 (WRC-15) • The United States believes it is unnecessary to identify spectrum specifically for railway radiocommunicationsystems. Studies towards regional and global harmonization can be satisfied by developing applicable ITU-R Reports and Recommendations. Therefore, no change to the Radio Regulations or regulatory action is required under this agenda item. • Agenda Item 1.12: to consider possible global or regional harmonized frequency bands, to the maximum extent possible, for the implementation of evolving Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) under existing mobile-service allocations, in accordance with Resolution 237 (WRC-15) • The United States believes it is unnecessary to identify spectrum specifically for Intelligent Transport Systems. Studies towards regional and global harmonization can be satisfied by developing applicable ITU-R Reports and Recommendations. Therefore, no change to the Radio Regulations or regulatory action is required under this agenda item.

  11. DA-17-365A2 Attachment A [3] • PROPOSED EDITS TO NTIA DRAFT PROPOSAL ON WRC-19 AI 9.1.8 • Agenda Item 9.1, Issue 9.1.8: on the activities of the Radiocommunication Sector since WRC-15, Issue 9.1.8: – Resolution 958 (WRC-15) – Urgent studies required in preparation for WRC-19 – Narrowband and broadband machine-type communication infrastructures. • The United States believes it is unnecessary to identify spectrum specifically for machine-type communications. Therefore, no change to the Radio Regulations or regulatory action is required. • The United States believes it is unnecessary to identify spectrum specifically for machine-type communications. Therefore the studies under number 3 of the Annex to Resolution 958 should be suppressed. • Agenda Item 9.1, Issue 9.1.7: Resolution 958 (Rev.WRC-15): to consider and approve the Report of the Director of the Radiocommunication Bureau, in accordance with Article 7 of the Convention, on the activities of the RadiocommunicationSector since WRC-15 on the urgent studies required in preparation for WRC-19 on the unauthorized operation of earth station terminals (Res. ITU-R 64 (RA-15)). • Earth station licensing and related issues are national matters and no changes to the Radio Regulations are necessary as Article 18 sufficiently addresses the required international regulatory measures. Instead, better training and monitoring capability, along with ITU developed reports and handbooks, can assist administrations in inhibiting the use of unauthorized uplink earth terminals and can enable administrations to locate and terminate the unauthorized transmissions.

  12. DA-17-365A3 Attachment B • Preliminary Views and Draft Proposals formulated and approved within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration • Agenda Item 9.1, Issue 9.1.7: Resolution 958 (Rev.WRC-15): to consider and approve the Report of the Director of the Radiocommunication Bureau, in accordance with Article 7 of the Convention, on the activities of the Radiocommunication Sector since WRC-15 on the urgent studies required in preparation for WRC-19 on the unauthorized operation of earth station terminals (Res. ITU-R 64 (RA-15)). • Studies have not identified any methods requiring modification to the Radio Regulations. Instead, better training and monitoring capability, along with ITU developed reports and handbooks, can assist administrations in inhibiting the use of unauthorized uplink earth terminals and can enable administrations to locate and terminate the unauthorized transmissions. • Agenda Item 9.1, Issue 9.1.8: on the activities of the Radiocommunication Sector since WRC-15, Issue 9.1.8: – Resolution 958 (WRC-15) – Urgent studies required in preparation for WRC-19 – Narrowband and broadband machine-type communication infrastructures. • The United States believes it is unnecessary to identify spectrum specifically for machine-type communications. Therefore, no change to the Radio Regulations or regulatory action is required.

  13. DA-17-365A3 Attachment B [2] • Agenda Item 1.11: to take necessary actions, as appropriate, to facilitate global or regional harmonized frequency bands to support railway radiocommunication systems between train and trackside within existing mobile service allocations, in accordance with Resolution 236 (WRC-15) • The United States is of the view that the development of applicable ITU-R Reports and Recommendations can satisfy this agenda item and no change is required for the Radio Regulations. The United States supports studies under Resolution 236 (WRC-15) regarding the possible regional or global harmonization of frequency bands within existing mobile service allocations to facilitate train and trackside radiocommunications for command and control. • Agenda Item 1.12: to consider possible global or regional harmonized frequency bands, to the maximum extent possible, for the implementation of evolving Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) under existing mobile-service allocations, in accordance with Resolution 237 (WRC-15) • The United States is of the view that this agenda item could be satisfied by developing ITU-R Reports and Recommendations rather than changing the Radio Regulations. We do support supports studies under Resolution 237 (WRC-15) regarding the possible harmonization of frequency bands for ITS applications under existing mobile service allocations.

  14. DA-17-365A3 Attachment B [3] • Agenda Item 1.15: to consider identification of frequency bands for use by administrations for the land-mobile and fixed services applications operating in the frequency range 275-450 GHz, in accordance with Resolution 767 (WRC-15) • The United States is of the view that it may be possible to develop a similar footnote to that in No. 5.565 for land-mobile and fixed services, identifying bands for terrestrial active service use. To this end, the United States supports studies in the ITU-R on sharing and compatibility between passive and active services as well as spectrum needs for the land-mobile and fixed services for WRC-19 agenda item 1.15 under the terms of Resolution 767 (WRC-15).

  15. EU Updates • No discussion of RED today  Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise

  16. EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) • The transition has already started • RED in THE LAW as of June 13, 2016 • R&TTE expires June 12, 2017 • After June 2017, all devices must meet the RED requirements, i.e. R&TTE certifications during the transition must be re-certified • Following the deadline, ALL equipment to be placed on the EU market must meet the RED provisions • EN 300 328 published in the OJEU! • It appears that EN 301 893 may* not be not published in time • EC has NOT approved use of v1.8.1 with note that v2.1.0 Receiver Requirements must also be met • Passed ENAP; official publication date in August 19th, but could happen sooner * Today’s EC meeting may resolve Rich Kennedy, HP Enterprise
