By the Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology:
1.  On July 23, 2026, the Commission released the Third Report and Order and Third Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 26-50, in the above-captioned proceeding (Third Report and Order).  Pursuant to authority delegated under sections 0.31 and 0.241 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR §§ 0.31, 0.241, the Office of Engineering and Technology, by this Erratum, corrects the Third Report and Order as set forth below.  These corrections conform the transition-date provisions of the Third Report and Order, correct typographical and paragraph-designation errors in Appendix A (Final Rules) and Appendix B (Proposed Rules) and replace Appendix C (Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis).  
2.  In paragraph 76, the phrase “an effective date for compliance with § 2.803(c)(1) of 180 days after the publication of this Order in the Federal Register” is corrected to read “a compliance date for § 2.803(c)(1) of March 1, 2027,” and the phrase “an effective date for § 2.803(c)(2) to be 270 days after the publication of this Order in the Federal Register” is corrected to read “a compliance date for § 2.803(c)(2) of June 1, 2027.”
3.  In paragraph 245, the second ordering clause is corrected to read as follows:
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the rule amendments set forth in Appendix A of this Third Report and Order SHALL BE EFFECTIVE 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, except that compliance with the FCC ID display requirements in § 2.803(c)(1) shall not be required until March 1, 2027, and compliance with the FCC ID display requirements in § 2.803(c)(2) shall not be required until June 1, 2027.
4.  In Appendix A (Final Rules), paragraph 2 (amending § 1.50001) is corrected to read as follows:

6.  In Appendix A, in § 2.803(c), the following notes are added after redesignated paragraph (c)(3)(iii):
Note to paragraph (c)(1):  Compliance with this paragraph is not required until March 1, 2027.
Note to paragraph (c)(2):  Compliance with this paragraph is not required until June 1, 2027.

11.  In Appendix B, in paragraph 5 (amending § 2.803), the phrase “reserving paragraph (c)” is added after “paragraphs (d) and (e),” and the phrase “adding section (d)(3)” is corrected to read “adding paragraph (d)(3).”
12.  In Appendix B, the section heading of § 2.804 is corrected to read: “§ 2.804 Online marketing of radiofrequency devices subject to an equipment authorization.”
13.  In Appendix B, in § 2.909(a)(1), the word “appliable” is corrected to read “applicable.”
14.  In Appendix B, in § 2.909(a)(2), a comma is added after “Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity”; and, in § 2.909(a)(2)(ii), the phrase “If the equipment by itself, or, a system is assembled from individual parts” is corrected to read “If the equipment by itself, or a system assembled from individual parts.”

(b)	* * * Notwithstanding this section, software or firmware updates to already-authorized covered equipment shall not constitute a request for a new equipment authorization where:
(1)	The modification mitigates harm to consumers;
(2)	The modification does not enhance the device’s capability or alter its intended use;
(3)	The modified device is marketed as identical to the pre-modified device;

20.  In Appendix B, in paragraph 16, § 2.1043(m) is corrected to read as follows:
(m)	Software, firmware, or hardware updates to already-authorized covered equipment shall constitute Class I or Class II permissive changes, respectively, shall not constitute applications for equipment authorization, and are not prohibited, so long as:

(2)	The modification does not enhance the device’s capability or alter its intended use;
(3)	The modified device is marketed as an identical product to the pre-modified device; and

22.  Appendix C (Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis) is replaced in its entirety by the Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis set forth in the Attachment to this Erratum.  Footnote numbering and internal cross-references are conformed accordingly.
