AMENDMENT OF PART 90 OF THE COMMISSION'S RULES, SEVENTH REPORT AND ORDER AND NINTH FURTHER NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING. The FCC establishes a coordinated nationwide approach to managing the 4.9 GHz band, in part through the addition of a nationwide Band Manager, and seeks comment on details of implementing this model.. (Dkt No 07-100). Action by: the Commission. Adopted: 2023-01-18 by R&O/NPRM. (FCC No. 23-3). WTB PSHSB. FCC-23-3A1.docx<https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-23-3A1.docx> FCC-23-3A1.pdf<https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-23-3A1.pdf> FCC-23-3A1.txt<https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-23-3A1.txt>

42. Once the Band Manager is chosen and interference protection criteria are adopted, all applications filed with the Commission via ULS which seek to license new facilities or modify existing facilities in the 4.9 GHz band must include a showing of frequency coordination by the Band Manager. Below in the Ninth Further Notice, we seek comment on interference criteria to ensure public safety licensees have efficient and interference-free access to the band. We also seek comment in the Ninth Further Notice on whether the Band Manager, as part of its frequency coordinator duties, should mediate disputes if parties disagree about existing or proposed operations.
43. Finally, we decline to adopt a more active form of frequency coordination for public safety operations in the 4.9 GHz band, such as the automated frequency coordination in the 6 GHz band See Unlicensed Use of the 6 GHz Band; Expanding Flexible Use in Mid-Band Spectrum Between 3.7 and 24 GHz, ET Docket No. 18-295 and GN Docket No. 17-183, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 35 FCC Rcd 3852, 3862-77, paras. 23-67 (2020).
or the spectrum access system that facilitates dynamic spectrum sharing in the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS). See 47 CFR part 96.

APCO supported allowing EIRP for fixed P-P and P-MP operations equivalent to part 101 levels, APCO Nov. 29, 2021, Comments at 5 (stating “[h]igher EIRP levels encourage agencies to deploy larger antennas to achieve higher broadband data rates”); see also 47 CFR § 101.113.
which sets a maximum allowable EIRP of 55 dBW (85 dBm) for frequency bands near 4.9 GHz. WISPA suggested the Commission should “cap the conducted power . . . as is done in the U-NII-3 band.” WISPA Nov. 29, 2021, Comments at 25-26; see also 47 CFR § 15.407(a)(3)(i) (setting a maximum conducted output power limit for Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) devices operating in the 5.725-5.850 GHz band).
