# General technical requirements.
**AGENCY:**
Federal Communications Commission.
**ACTION:**
Correcting amendment.
**SUMMARY:**
On April 1, 2014, the Commission released a Report and Order, “Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) Devices in the 5 GHz Band.” This document contains corrections to the final regulations for “Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) Devices in the 5 GHz Band” that appeared in the *Federal Register* on May 1, 2014 (79 FR 24569).
**DATES:**
Effective December 23, 2014.
**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**
Aole Wilkins, Office of Engineering and Technology, (202) 418-2406 or email *[email protected].*
**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
The final regulations that are the subject of this correction relates to “Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) Devices in the 5 GHz Band” under § 15.407(a)(1).
**Need for Correction**
As published, the revised text in the final regulations contains errors that are misleading and need immediate correction.
**List of Subjects in 47 CFR Part 15**
Communications equipment, Radio.
Accordingly, 47 CFR part 15 is corrected by making the following correcting amendment:
**47 CFR Part 15**
**PART 15—RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES**
1. The authority citation for part 15 continues to read as follows:
**Authority:**
47 U.S.C. 154, 302a, 303, 304, 307, 336, 544a, and 549.
**47 CFR Part 15**
2. Section 15.407 is amended by revising paragraph (a)(1)(iii) to read as follows:
§ 15.407
(a) * * *
(1) * * *
(iii) For fixed point-to-point access points operating in the band 5.15-5.25 GHz, the maximum conducted output power over the frequency band of operation shall not exceed 1 W. In addition, the maximum power spectral density shall not exceed 17 dBm in any 1 megahertz band. Fixed point-to-point U-NII devices may employ antennas with directional gain up to 23 dBi without any corresponding reduction in the maximum conducted output power or maximum power spectral density. For fixed point-to-point transmitters that employ a directional antenna gain greater than 23 dBi, a 1 dB reduction in maximum conducted output power and maximum power spectral density is required for each 1 dB of antenna gain in excess of 23 dBi. Fixed, point-to-point operations exclude the use of point-to-multipoint systems, omnidirectional applications, and multiple collocated transmitters transmitting the same information. The operator of the U-NII device, or if the equipment is professionally installed, the installer, is responsible for ensuring that systems employing high gain directional antennas are used exclusively for fixed, point-to-point operations.
