Highlights

GAO reviewed the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) new rule entitled "Unlicensed Use of the 6 GHz Band; Expanding Flexible Use in Mid-Band Spectrum Between 3.7 and 24 GHz." GAO found that the final rule expands unlicensed very low power (VLP) device operation to the entire 6 gigahertz (GHz) band (5.925–7.125 megahertz (MHz)).

Enclosed is our assessment of FCC's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. If you have any questions about this report or wish to contact GAO officials responsible for the evaluation work relating to the subject matter of the rule, please contact Charlie McKiver, Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-5992.
