3060-AK82 202004 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 3060 Federal Communications Commission FCC Amendment of Parts 1, 2, 15, 90, and 95 of the Commission's Rules to Permit Radar Services in the 76-81 GHz Band (ET Docket No. 15-26)

In this Report and Order, the FCC establishes a flexible and streamlined regulatory framework for radar applications that will operate within the 76-81 GHz band. Specifically, the FCC give vehicular radars and certain airport-based radars protection from harmful interference as well as a contiguous five gigahertz allocation, facilitating the development and deployment of new safety devices. Doing so also harmonizes FCC rules with international efforts to create a global allocation for vehicular radars, while promoting efficient use of spectrum by consolidating such radars into a single band. In addition, the FCC established a comprehensive and consistent set of rules and policies to govern the operation of vehicular radars and certain airport-based radars in the 76-81 GHz band.
