**AGENCY:**

Federal Communications Commission.

**ACTION:**

Proposed rule; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is correcting a date that appeared in the *Federal Register* on April 6, 2020. In this document, the Commission seeks comment on expanding the range of frequencies for which its radiofrequency (RF) exposure limits apply; on applying localized exposure limits above 6 GHz in parallel to the localized exposure limits already established below 6 GHz; on specifying the conditions and methods for averaging the RF exposure, in both time and area, during evaluation for compliance with the RF exposure limits in the rules; on addressing new RF exposure issues raised by wireless power transfer (WPT) devices; and on the definition of a WPT device.

**DATES:**

Comments are due on or before June 3, 2020, and reply comments are due on or before July 6, 2020.

**ADDRESSES:**

Interested parties may submit comments and replies, identified by ET Docket No. 19-226, by any of the following methods:
