Summary of the Order 1. On April 1, 1998, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (“NPRM”) in this proceeding, 63 FR 20362, April 24, 1998. The NPRM proposed changes to part 18 of the Commission's rules to update the regulations for radio frequency (RF) lighting devices operating in the 2.2-2.8 MHz and 2400-2500 MHz (“2450 MHz”) bands. On June 9, 1999, the Commission adopted a First Report and Order, 64 FR 37417, July 12, 1999, that relaxed the emission limits for RF lighting devices operating in the 2.51-3.0 MHz band, but deferred action on changes to the rules for RF lighting devices operating in the 2450 MHz band to a future date. 2 ncy (RF) lighting devices operating in the 2.2-2.8 MHz and 2400-2500 MHz (“2450 MHz”) bands. On June 9, 1999, the Commission adopted a First Report and Order, 64 FR 37417, July 12, 1999, that relaxed the emission limits for RF lighting devices operating in the 2.51-3.0 MHz band, but deferred action on changes to the rules for RF lighting devices operating in the 2450 MHz band to a future date. 2. We find that with the passage of time, the NPRM and record in this proceeding have become outdated. The proposal for changes to the rules for 2450 MHz RF lighting devices was made in 1998. The only party that expressed interest in producing such RF lighting devices has informed the Commission that it will no longer pursue development of RF lighting devices in the 2450 MHz band. There does not appear to be a need for further Commission action at this time, we are terminating this proceeding without prejudice to its substantive merits. If any party wishes to pursue the issues in this proceeding in the future, nothing precludes us from evaluating them in the context of a new proceeding. Ordering Clauses 3. Pursuant to sections 4(i) and 4(j) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. is terminated, effective upon issuance of this order. Federal Communications Commission. William F. Caton, Deputy Secretary.
