[Scan-DC] New FCC Registration Program for Wideband Signal Boosters

[Jeff Krauss]

Part 90 Class B (Wideband) Signal Booster Registration.

Under Section 90.219(d)(5)  of the Commission's rules, all Part 90 
Class B signal booster installations must be registered with the 
FCC.   In February 2013, as part of the Commission's efforts to 
support the continued use of signal boosters in the Private Land 
Mobile Radio Services and Public Safety Radio Services, the 
Commission adopted a registration requirement for existing and future 
Part 90 Class B signal booster installations.   The Commission found 
that a Class B signal booster registration system would be a valuable 
tool to help resolve interference should it occur.

All Part 90 licensees and signal booster operators must register 
existing Part 90 Class B signal boosters with the Commission by 
November 1, 2014.   In addition, any new Class B signal booster 
installed after November 1, 2014 must be registered prior to operation.

Each registration will be available to the public on the same day it 
is filed with the Commission.  Registrations may be accessed 
at:  www.fcc.gov/signal-boosters/registration.  Click on "View All 
Boosters" from the Part 90 Signal Booster Registration and Discovery 
page.  The registrations can be searched and sorted by booster ID 
number, name of the filer, city, county, state, zip code, 
latitude/longitude, or call sign.
