FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN Febmaiy 27, 2020 The Honorable Don Bacon U.S. House of Representatives 1024 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Congressman Bacon: Thank you for your letter regarding the Commission s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the 6 GHz band. I agree with you that the FCC must protect incumbent users in the band from harmful interference. The Commission s technical experts in our Office of Engineering and Technology have spent considerable time reviewing the substantial record that has been compiled in this proceeding and meeting with interested stakeholders. I look forward to receiving their recommendations on the appropriate path forward in the 6 GHz band rulemaking, and I can assure you that the Commission s ultimate decision will be grounded in sound engineering analysis. I remain optimistic that we will be able to develop a set of technical rules that will both safeguard incumbent users and allow for unlicensed operations. I appreciate your interest in this matter. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Sincerely, jtVPai
