1. In the Sixth Report and Order, the
Commission takes the following actions:
• Changes the terminology used in
Sections 90.543 and 27.53 of the
Commission’s rules from Adjacent
Channel Coupled Power (ACCP) to
Adjacent Channel Power (ACP); and
• Adopts recommended changes to
the ACP limits in § 90.543 and 27.53 of
the Commission’s rules.
