Abstract

The Commission will consider a Notice of Inquiry that would initiate a technical inquiry into how to obtain more sophisticated knowledge of real-time non- Federal spectrum usage-- and how the Commission could take advantage of modern capabilities for doing so in a cost- effective, accurate, scalable, and actionable manner. The Notice of Inquiry would explore the potential to advance the Commission's understanding of commercial spectrum usage by leveraging new data sources, methods, and technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning in an increasingly congested radiofrequency environment. 2.................. Media................. Title: Updating Digital FM Radio Service (MB Docket No. 22-405). Summary: The Commission will consider an Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on proposed changes to the methodology used to determine maximum power levels for digital FM broadcast stations and to the process for authorizing digital transmissions at different power levels on the upper and lower digital sidebands.
