AGING 
JOINT COMMlnEE 
ON TAXATION 
It is my understanding that on February 29, 2016, the Federal Communications 
Commission, issued a public notice for comments on the 2013 Signal Boosters Report and Order 
(WT Docket 10-4). Although the notice and comment period has concluded, the Commission 
has yet to announce any new rulemaking regarding signal booster technology. 
Specifically, I am inquiring about the status of the Commission's decision to revisit the 
"personal-use restriction" for consumer signal boosters, which prevents businesses, public 
institutions, and other enterprises from purchasing and using consumer signal boosters. I also 
understand that this proposal has nearly unanimous support among wireless carriers, 
telecommunications industry groups, business/enterprise interests, and the public safety 
community. 
Wilson Electronics LLC-a constituent company headquartered in Salt Lake City- is a 
leading manufacturer of consumer signal boosters and operates a manufacturing facility in St. 
George, Utah. This company has also expressed its support for the elimination of the personal­
use restriction for consumer signal boosters. 
I respectfully ask for an update on the Commission's proposal to revisit the 2013 Signal 
Booster Order, specifically the proposal to eliminate the personal-use restriction. Thank you for 
your assistance with regard to my request. I look forward to your response. 
Sincerely, 
Orrin G. Hatch 
US Senator
