This Erratum corrects errors in the “Fourth Report and Order” and “Appendix C- Final Rules” of the Fourth Report and Order and Fifth Notice of Proposed Rule Making in this proceeding, FCC 01-10, released January 17, 2001. 2. The fifth sentence of paragraph 78 is corrected to read as follows: “In addition, we will require that such migration include a standard that is backward compatible with the Project 25 Phase I standard so that the achievement of interoperability will not be compromised while these systems remain in operation.” 3. Footnote 202 is corrected to read as follows: “The NCC Report at 21 ¶ 64 lists one ANSI standard and four TIA/ EIA interim standards. Since the Report was issued, the interim standards have been published as ANSI standards.” 4. The first sentence of paragraph 86 is corrected to read as follows: “In addition to reserving two Interoperability channels for data transmission, we adopt the data interoperability standard that is incorporated in the Project 25 suite of standards, as defined by five ANSI standards.” 5. The fifth sentence of paragraph 92 is corrected to read as follows: “We adopt TIA/ EIA IS 102.AAAA- A Project 25 DES encryption protocol as recommended by the Project 25 Steering Committee and the NCC as the encryption standard.” 1 Federal Communications Commission 2 6. In Appendix C, the authority citation for Part 90 is corrected to read as follows: “AUTHORITY: Sections 4( i), 11, 303( g), 303( r), and 332( c)( 7) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U. S. C. 154( i), 161, 303( g), 303( r), 332( c)( 7).” 7. Section 90.179( j) is corrected to read as follows: “( j) On the Interoperability Channels in the 700 MHz Public Safety Band (See 90.531( b)( 1)), hand- held and vehicular units operated by any licensee in the 700 MHz Public Safety Band or by any licensee for any public safety frequency pursuant to part 90 of the Commission’s rules may communicate with or through land stations without further authorization and without a sharing agreement.” 8. The first sentence of paragraph 4 of Appendix C is corrected to read as follows: “Section 90.525 is added to read as follows:” 9. The first sentence in paragraph 5 of Appendix C is corrected to read as follows: “Section 90.531 is amended by adding paragraphs (b)( 1)( i) through (b)( 1)( iii) and (b)( 7), and by revising paragraphs (b)( 2) and (d) to read as follows:” 10. Section 90.531( d) is corrected to read as follows: “( d) Combining channels. Except as noted in this section, at the discretion of the appropriate regional planning committee, contiguous channels may be used in combination in order to accommodate requirements for larger bandwidth emissions, in accordance with this paragraph. Interoperability channels may not be combined with channels in another group except for channels for secondary trunking channels.” 11. The first sentence of paragraph 6 of Appendix C is corrected to read as follows: “Section 90.531( b)( 2) is amended by removing the following channels: 21, 22, 37, 38, 61, 62, 77, 78, 101, 102, 141, 142, 181, 182, 221, 222, 261, 262, 277, 278, 301, 302, 317, 318, 981, 982, 997, 998, 1021, 1022, 1037, 1038, 1061, 1062, 1101, 1102, 1141, 1142, 1181, 1182, 1221, 1222, 1237, 1238, 1261, 1262, 1277, and 1278.” 12. The first sentence of paragraph 7 of Appendix C is corrected to read as follows: “Section 90.537 is revised to read as follows:” 13. Section 90.537( b) is corrected to read as follows: “( b) Interoperability channels. Trunking is permitted only on Interoperability channels specified in § 90.531( b)( 1)( iii). Trunked use must be strictly on a secondary, non-interference basis to conventional operations. The licensee must monitor and immediately release these channels when they are needed for interoperability purposes.” 2 Federal Communications Commission 3 14. The first sentence of paragraph 9 of Appendix C is corrected to read as follows: “Section 90.548 is added to read as follows:” 15. Section 90.548( a) is corrected to read as follows: “( a) Transmitters operating on those narrowband channels in the 764- 776 and 794- 806 MHz band designated for interoperability (See 90. 531) shall conform to the following technical standards: (1) Transmitters designed for voice operation shall include a 12. 5 kHz bandwidth mode of operation conforming to the following standards: ANSI/ TIA/ EIA 102.BAAA- 1 (common air interface) for operation in the 12.5 kHz FDM mode; ANSI/ TIA/ EIA 102.BABA (vocoder). (2) Transmitters designed for data transmission shall include a 12. 5 kHz bandwidth mode of operation conforming to the following standards: ANSI/ TIA/ EIA 102.BAEA (data overview); ANSI/ TIA/ EIA 102.BAEB (packet data specification); ANSI/ TIA/ EIA 102.BAEC (circuit data specification); ANSI/ TIA/ EIA 102.BAEA (radio control protocol); ANSI/ TIA/ EIA 102.BAAA- 1 (common air interface) for operation in the 12. 5 kHz FDM mode.” 16. These errors will be corrected before publication in the Federal Register. 17. This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.131 and 0.331 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C. F.
