"Rule-making process" LOL! That's rich.

You must have missed the process and the vote and the effective date.

Unlicensed Operation in the TV Broadcast Bands

A Rule by the Federal Communications Commission on 12/06/2010

Effective January 5, 2011 except for amendments to Sec. Sec. 15.713, 15.714, 15.715 and 15.717, which contain information collection requirements that are not effective until approved by the Office of Management and Budget. The Commission will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the effective dates for those amendments.

This document finalizes rules to make the unused spectrum in the TV bands available for unlicensed broadband wireless devices

The Federal Register is the main source for the U.S. federal government agencies':

Proposed new rules and regulations;
Final rules;
Changes to existing rules; and
Notices of meetings and adjudicatory proceedings.
In essence, the Federal Register is a way for the government to think aloud to the people, and also serves as official journal of record for the approved acts of the U.S. Government.

And, again, don't forget about Post# 42853 and the FCC rule pronouncements and decisions on reconsideration found by way of the cited link.
