Federal Communications Commission DA 11-675 Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of RECONROBOTICS, INC. Request for Waiver of Part 90 of the Commission’s Rules Petitions for Reconsideration ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) WP Docket No. 08-63 ORDER ON RECONSIDERATION Adopted: April 13, 2011 Released: April 15, 2011 By the Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, Chief, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, and Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology: 1.Introduction. This Order on Reconsideration addresses three petitions for reconsideration of an Order by the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (the Bureaus). 1 The Order granted a request filed by ReconRobotics, Inc. (ReconRobotics) for a waiver of the Commission’s Part 90 rules to permit certification and use of the Recon Scout, a remote-controlled, maneuverable surveillance robot operating in the 420-450 MHz band. W. Lee McVey, 2 Kristopher Kirby, 3 and the American Radio Relay League, Inc. (ARRL) 4 filed petitions for reconsideration. 5 These petitions largely raise issues that were adequately addressed in the original Order. For this and other reasons set forth below, we deny the McVey and Kirby petitions, and deny in part the ARRL petition, but grant ARRL’s request for a modified labeling requirement. 2.Background. In 2008, ReconRobotics filed a request for waiver of Sections 90.101, 90.207 and 90.209 of the Commission’s Rules 6 to permit equipment authorization and customer licensing 1 See ReconRobotics, Inc., Order, WP Docket No. 08-63, 25 FCC Rcd 1782 (WTB/PSHSB 2010) (Order). 2 Petition for Reconsideration of Waiver Grant to ReconRobotics, Inc. (filed Mar. 6, 2010) (McVey Petition). 3 Letter from Kristopher Kirby to Federal Communications Commission (filed Mar. 10, 2010) (Kirby Petition). 4 Petition for Reconsideration (filed Mar. 24, 2010) (ARRL Petition). ARRL also requested that we stay the Order, to prevent the marketing and deployment of the Recon Scout pending the resolution of the petitions for reconsideration. Id. at 1 n.1. Because no applications to authorize operations pursuant to the Order have been granted, seenote 17, infra, we deny the stay request. 5 In addition, James Edwin Whedbee filed a motion to set the Order aside, and related pleadings. Motion to Set Aside, Vacate, or Correct Order by Cancellation of the Waiver Order, Construing the Application Therefor as a Petition for Rulemaking, and Reinstating Proceedings as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Consistent with 5 U.S.C. Section 553 (filed Aug. 19, 2010) (Motion). Although Whedbee did not caption his Motion as a petition for reconsideration, we will treat it as such because it clearly seeks review of the Order.See Nevada Ready Mix Corp., Order on Reconsideration and Order Proposing Modification, 24 FCC Rcd 4648, 4649 ¶ 7 (WTB MD 2009) (citing Jack Gerritsen, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 20 FCC Rcd 4273, 4273 n.3 (EB 2005); Redlands Municipal Airport, Order on Reconsideration, 20 FCC Rcd 14782, 14782 ¶ 4 (WTB PSCID 2005)). The Order was released on February 23, 2010, so petitions for reconsideration were due thirty days later, on March 25, 2010. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.106(f). We therefore agree with ReconRobotics that the Motion should be dismissed as untimely. See Opposition to Motion to Set Aside at 1 (filed Aug. 20, 2010). 6 See47 C.F.R. §§ 90.101 (limiting Part 90 use of 420-450 MHz to radiolocation), 90.207 (modulation), 90.209 (bandwidth). Federal Communications Commission DA 11-675 2 for the Recon Scout, and its use by state and local public safety agencies, and security personnel in critical infrastructure industries. The Recon Scout can be thrown, dropped, or launched into potentially hazardous areas, and transmits real-time video surveillance data back to the operator on frequencies on one of three channels: 430-436 MHz, 436-442 MHz, and 442-448 MHz. 7 A waiver was required to permit the device to transmit surveillance data in the 420-450 MHz band, which is allocated to the federal radiolocation service on a primary basis, and to the amateur service and certain non-federal radiolocation systems on a secondary basis. 8 3.The Bureaus sought comment on the waiver request. 9 In response, over seventy comments were filed. Generally, public safety and law enforcement entities commented in support of the waiver request, and amateur radio commenters (including ARRL, but not the other petitioners) opposed it. 10 4.After consideration of the record, the Bureaus granted the request pursuant to Section 1.925(b)(3)(i) of the Commission’s rules, which provides authority to grant a waiver if the underlying purpose of the rule(s) would not be served or would be frustrated by application to the instant case, and grant of the requested waiver would be in the public interest. 11 The Bureaus concluded that the underlying purpose of the rules would not be served by strict application because the Recon Scout was not likely to cause interference to other services, and ReconRobotics acknowledged that the Recon Scout would operate on a secondary basis to other users. 12 The Bureaus held that grant of the request would be in the public interest because it would improve officer safety in many high-risk situations with a likelihood of death or serious harm. 13 They acknowledged commenters’ concerns that interference to the Recon Scout from higher power sources could impair its reliability, but concluded that the possibility of such interference in some instances was not a reason to prohibit its use in all instances. 14 5.Consequently, the Bureaus granted the waiver request, subject to certain conditions. 15 The number of units to be sold was limited to 2,000 during the first year following equipment approval, and 8,000 during the second year. The first unit to be sold to a responding organization must operate on 436-442 MHz, with the 442-448 MHz version being sold only to entities that already…

Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 February 6, 2012 DA 12-138 Mitchell Lazarus Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth, PLC 1300 North 17th Street, 11th floor Arlington, VA 22209 Dear Mr. Lazarus: This letter responds to your January 11, 2012 request 1 on behalf of ReconRobotics, Inc. (ReconRobotics)regarding the limit on sales of the Recon Scout, a surveillance robot that uses the 430- 448 MHz segment of the 420-450 MHz band. For the reasons set forth below, we grant the request to the extent indicated. In 2010, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (the Bureaus) granted ReconRobotics a waiver to permit equipment authorization and customer licensing of the Recon Scout. 2 The Bureaus limited sales to 2,000 units during the first year following equipment approval and 8,000 units during the second year, and indicated that they would consider limits for later years upon a subsequent request from ReconRobotics. 3 ReconRobotics, which obtained equipment authorization for the Recon Scout on April 22, 2010, 4 now requests that it be permitted to sell up to 8,000 units during the third and fourth years following equipment authorization, with unused limits from prior years carried forward to any subsequent year. Applications for customer licensing of the Recon Scoutremain pending, but ReconRobotics states that it has received no complaints of verified interference from operation of Recon Scouts pursuant to an experimental license. 5 We conclude that we need not revisit the Recon Scout sales limit every two years. Consequently, we now establish an annual limit of 8,000 units, with a rollover of unused sales. 6 All other conditions of the waiver continue to apply. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the request of ReconRobotics, Inc., dated January 11, 2012, IS GRANTED to the extent indicated. 1 Letter dated Jan. 11, 2012 from Mitchell Lazarus, counsel for ReconRobotics, Inc. to Rick Kaplan, Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, and James Arden Barnett, Jr., Chief, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau. 2 See ReconRobotics, Inc., Order, 25 FCC Rcd 1782 (WTB/PSHSB 2010), aff’d, 26 FCC Rcd 5895 (WTB/PSHSB/OET 2011). 3 Id.at 1787 ¶ 11. 4 FCC ID URXYSK2010-01. ReconRobotics obtained equipment authorization for another version of the Recon Scout on October 19, 2011. FCC ID URXYSK2011-01. The sales limit applies to overall sales of all versions of the Recon Scout. 5 Call Sign WE2XCL. 6 If ReconRobotics later finds this to be insufficient, it may request that the limit be increased or eliminated.

Request for Waiver of Part 90 of the Commission’s Rules ) ) ) ) ) ) WP Docket No. 08-63 ORDER Adopted: February 22, 2010Released: February 23, 2010 By the Deputy Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, and Deputy Chief, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1.We have before us a request filed by ReconRobotics, Inc. (ReconRobotics) for waiver of Sections 90.101, 90.207, and 90.209 of the Commission’s Rules to permit equipment authorization and customer licensing under Part 90 of the Commission's Rules 1 for the Recon Scout, which is a remote- controlled, maneuverable surveillance robot designed for use in areas that may be too hazardous for human entry. 2 For the reasons set forth below, we grant the waiver request subject to the conditions specified herein. A waiver is required to permit the device to transmit surveillance data in the 430-448 MHz segment of the 420-450 MHz band, which is allocated to the Federal Radiolocation service on a primary basis, and to the amateur service and certain non-Federal radiolocation systems on a secondary basis. 3 II. BACKGROUND 2.ReconRobotics seeks awaiver to permit equipment certification for the Recon Scout, and its use by state and local law enforcement and firefighting agencies, and security personnel in critical infrastructure industries. 4 The Recon Scout can be thrown, dropped, or launched into potentially hazardous areas and can provide real-time video to an operator located a safe distance away. 5 Typical applications will include checking a building prior to forced entry; searching vehicle undercarriages for explosives; locating hostages, hostiles, officers, and bystanders before a rescue attempt; and searching for survivors in a burning 1 See 47 C.F.R. §§ 90.101 (limiting Part 90 use of 420-450 MHz to radiolocation), 90.207 (modulation), 90.209 (bandwidth). 2 SeeRequest for Waiver (filed Jan. 11, 2008) (Request). 3 See47 C.F.R. §§ 2.106, 90.103(c)(21), 97.303(f). Non-Federal radiolocation stations are secondary to both Federal radiolocation stations and amateur stations. 4 SeeRequest at 1. 5 See id.at 2. ReconRobotics plans to add optional sensors foraudio, biological, chemical, heat, radiation, or other needed data. Federal Communications CommissionDA 10-291 2 building. 6 The Recon Scout is used overseas by the U.S. armed forces, and is credited with saving lives. 7 3.The Recon Scout transmits the analog video signalto the operator on one of three six- megahertz channels:430-436 MHz, 436-442 MHz, and 442-448 MHz. 8 ReconRobotics states that multiple channels are necessary in order to avoid interference during incidents where multiple Recon Scouts are in use, but that such situations should be rare. 9 Itproposes that the first unit sold to a responding organization would operate on 442-448 MHz, with the 436-442 MHz version being sold only to entities that already own the 442-448 MHz version, and the 430-436 MHz version being sold only to entities that already own the 442-448 MHz and 436-442 MHz versions. 10 4.ReconRobotics proposes to limit eligibility to state and local police and firefighters; and security personnel in critical infrastructure industries for use only in areas that are hazardous for entry by human personnel due to nuclear, chemical, or other environmental toxins. 11 Italso proposes other conditions on the waiver to minimize potential interference: use would be limited to actual emergencies involving threats to safety of life, and necessary training related to such operations; and the number of units to be sold would be limited to 2,000 during the first year following equipment approval, and 8,000 during the second year. 12 Italso suggests that the Commission, in collaboration with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), could deny license applications in particular areas as necessary to protect Federal radiolocation facilities. 13 5.Over seventy comments were received in response to the public notice seeking comment on the waiver request. 14 The commenters generally consist of public safety and law enforcement entities 6 Id.at 2, 14. 7 Id.at 2, 6. The military version of the Recon Scout operates in the 430-436 MHz band. See File No. 0056-EX- PL-2007, Section 5.63 Supplementary Statement at 1, Request for Expedited Consideration at 2 n.2. 8 See Request at 3, 10. ReconRobotics states that analog operation is required because a device with a digital transmitter would not be small and light enough to throw; digital video is prone to sudden cut-off at the end of its range, while a weak analog signal is still useful; and use of digital technology would render the device too expensive for many public safety entities. Id.at 4 n.4. 9 Id.at 12. 10 Id.at 3, 12, 15. ReconRobotics proposes to proceed in this sequence in order to provide maximum protection to amateur satellite downlinks in the 435-438 MHz segment. See id.at 3. 11 See id.at 15. Any offer for sale or lease of the device would state these eligibility limits.

Recon Scout Throwbot XT Transmitter to show compliance with the RF exposure requirements as defined in FCC §1.1307. Testing supporting this evaluation was performed at Washington Laboratories, Ltd, 7560 Lindbergh Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20879. Washington Laboratories, Ltd. has been accepted as an EMC Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) under the United States/European Union Memorandum of Agreement. Washington Laboratories, Ltd. is accredited with ACLASS under Testing Certificate AT-1448. 2 Requirements Three different categories of transmitters are defined by the FCC in OET Bulletin 65. These categories are fixed installation, mobile, and portable. Additionally, the FCC categorizes the use of the devices based on the user’s awareness and the ability to exercise control over his or her exposure. The two categories are defined as Occupational/Controlled Exposure and General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure. 2.1 Transmitter Categories 2.1.1 Fixed Installations A fixed location means that the device, including its antenna, is physically secured at a permanent location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. Additionally, distance to humans from the antenna is maintained to at least 2 meters. 2.1.2 Mobile Devices A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to be generally used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons. Transmitters designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be easily re-located, such as a wireless modem operating in a laptop computer, are considered mobile devices if they meet the 20 centimeter separation requirement. The FCC rules for evaluating mobile devices for RF compliance are found in 47 CFR §2.1091. 2.1.3 Portable Devices A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user. Portable device requirements are found in Section 2.1093 of the FCC's Rules (47 CFR§2.1093). 2.2 Exposure Categories The limits for exposure are determi…
