The FCC officially published the 60 meter band changes, giving them an effective date of 3/5/2012. 


Summary of changes:


(1) Use of the existing 5366.5 kHz (carrier) is removed, replaced by 5357.0 kHz (carrier, for all modes except CW).


(2) Maximum ERP raised from 50 to 100 watts PEP.


(3) Three emission modes (CW, RTTY, Data) are authorized in addition to the existing USB mode.  NOTE: CW mode carrier must be on the assigned frequency, of the authorized channel, not 1.5 kHz below the assigned frequency as it is for other authorized modes.  That makes a significant difference when switching between CW and any other mode!
