Abstract
In this document, the Commission adopts several rule updates to reflect the conclusion of the incentive auction and post-incentive auction transition period. First, the Commission adopts a revised Table of Allotments (Table) to reflect changes to full power television channel allotments contained in the 2018 Post-Transition Table of DTV Allotments to codify Commission actions taken over the past several years that modified the DTV channel allotments reflected in the 2018 Table, primarily actions related to the incentive auction and repacking process authorized by the Spectrum Act. The Order also deletes or revises Commission rules that no longer have any practical effect given the conclusion of the incentive auction and post-incentive auction transition period, or that are otherwise obsolete or irrelevant.

[GEN Docket No. 12-268; FCC 21-111; FR ID 56167]
Expanding the Economic and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum
Through Incentive Auction
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this document, the Commission adopts several rule updates
to reflect the conclusion of the incentive auction and post-incentive
auction transition period. First, the Commission adopts a revised Table
of Allotments (Table) to reflect changes to full power television
channel allotments contained in the 2018 Post-Transition Table of DTV
Allotments to codify Commission actions taken over the past several
years that modified the DTV channel allotments reflected in the 2018
Table, primarily actions related to the incentive auction and repacking
process authorized by the Spectrum Act. The Order also deletes or
revises Commission rules that no longer have any practical effect given
the conclusion of the incentive auction and post-incentive auction
transition period, or that are otherwise obsolete or irrelevant.
DATES: Effective December 22, 2021.

Synopsis
Channel allotments for full power television stations in the United
States, its territories, and possessions are listed and codified in 47
CFR part 73 of the Commission's rules, and applicants for full power
television stations may only apply to construct on the channels
designated in the codified Table of Allotments and only in the
communities listed therein. To accommodate the analog to digital
television transition, in 1997 the Commission allotted a paired DTV
channel to analog television licensees and permittees. All full power
stations terminated analog operations on June 12, 2009 (with minor and
temporary exceptions) and thereafter broadcast solely on its allotted
digital channel. In 2012, Congress passed the Spectrum Act that
required the Commission to reorganize the ultra-high frequency (UHF)
band using a two-sided incentive auction that reallocated broadcast
television spectrum for mobile broadband services, which included a
repacking process that reorganized and assigned new channels to full
power and Class A broadcast TV stations that would remain on the air
after the auction. In implementing the Spectrum Act, the Commission
decided, after seeking comment on the issue, that it would not use a
codified Table or rulemaking procedures to implement channel changes
resulting from the repacking process, instead determining that the
Table would be amended to codify all new full power channel assignments
after completion of the repacking and channel substitution process.
As a result of the incentive auction, 145 broadcast stations
accepted incentive payments to relinquish their spectrum rights and
either go off the air or, in some cases, continue broadcasting through
a channel sharing arrangement. In addition, as a result of the
repacking process, 987 full power and Class A stations were reassigned
to new channels, and twenty-four winning channel sharing bidders filed
applications to change their station's community of license. After the
incentive auction, the Media Bureau opened two filing windows for
stations that were repacked. These windows permitted certain reassigned
stations or band changing stations to seek alternate channels. A total
of 49 stations applied for an alternate channel during these two
windows and received a construction permit for a new channel.
With the incentive auction and 39-month post-incentive auction
transition period completed in July 2019, the Media Bureau lifted a
number of filing freezes, effective November 2020, that pertained to
the 2018 Table. Specifically, the Media Bureau lifted freezes on:
<bullet> Petitions for rulemaking to change channels in the Table
of Allotments.
<bullet> Petitions for rulemaking for new allotments.
<bullet> Petitions for rulemaking to change communities of license.
The Bureau received almost 50 petitions, primarily to substitute a
UHF channel for a VHF channel, to change a station's community of
license, or to allot a new channel. The majority have been acted on and
the changes effective, and the effective channel or community changes
are reflected in the new Table. All the petitions were subject to a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on the proposed rule
changes and all were adopted through a Report and Order, pursuant to
the Administrative Procedure Act, and published in the Federal
Register.
The Post-Transition Table of Allotments. The Order adopts a Table
that reflects all previously approved changes since the last table of
allotments update in 2018. Specifically, the new Table reflects the
following actions by the Commission, described above: (1) The incentive
auction and television repacking process authorized by the Spectrum
Act; (2) channel changes requested by stations assigned to new channels
as part of the incentive auction repacking process; and (3) changes
adopted after lifting the freeze in November 2020 on the filing of
rulemaking petitions to change the 2018 Table. In the Order, the
Commission found good cause to make these
[[Page 66194]]
revisions to the Table without notice and comment. See 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B) (providing that notice and comment are not required ``when
the agency for good cause finds . . . that notice and public procedure
thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest''). These revisions merely correct outdated information from
the 2018 Table as a result of channel reassignments and/or community of
license changes that have already been approved by the Commission.
Deletion of Obsolete Rules. The Order also adopts non-substantive,
technical revisions to certain rules in 47 CFR parts 1, 73, and 74 that
are now outdated given the reallocation of television channels 38
through 51 for wireless broadband uses, the previous reallocation of
channels 52 through 69 for wireless use at the end of the DTV
transition in June 2009, and the conversion from analog to digital
television technology.
Rulemaking Proceedings. The Order amends 47 CFR 1.420(a), (g), (h),
and (i), which specify the procedures for amending the TV Table of
Allotments, by deleting cross-references to ``Sec. 73.606(b)'' and
replacing them with ``Sec. 73.622(j),'' the updated Table of
Allotments adopted in the Order.
Television Broadcast Stations. The Order amends 47 CFR 73.622 to
delete the obsolete Tables in Sec. 73.622(b) and (i), which are
superseded by Sec. 73.622(j), the updated Table of Allotments adopted
in the Order. The Order also amends 47 CFR 73.606 by deleting the
cross-reference to ``Sec. 73.622(i)'' and adding a cross-reference to
``Sec. 73.622(j),'' and designates 47 CFR 73.622(j) as the ``successor
regulation'' to 47 CFR 73.606. The Order also amends certain part 73
rules to remove references to channels and frequency bands that are no
longer in-core television spectrum given the reallocation of channels
38 through 51 through the incentive auction repack and the previous
reallocation of channels 52 through 69 at the end of the DTV transition
in June 2009, and/or refer to obsolete rule Sec. 73.606(b), Sec.
73.622(b), or Sec. 73.622(i) or reference analog TV stations or
operations, or otherwise irrelevant information. Specifically, the
Order deletes references to the 2018 Table, the obsolete rules
sections, and references to channel numbers that are now out-of-core
for television stations in each of the following: Sec. Sec. 73.603(a);
73.613(b); 73.614(b)(5), 73.616(a); 73.622(a)(1) and (2), (b), (e)(1)
and (2), (f)(1), (g), (i); 73.623 (a), and (c), and (g); 73.681;
73.687(a)(1) and (4), (e)(3) and (4), (i); 73.699; 73.1690 (a)(8) and
(c)(3) and (4); 73.3572 (a)(1) and (4)(ii); 73.6006; 73.6010(a) and
(c); 73.7000. The Order also deletes irrelevant information from Sec.
73.625(a). This rule sets forth the community coverage contour signal
strength that stations must provide to the entire principal community
to be served, and the deleted material sets forth the signal strength
of a station's noise limited contour, and thus, has no applicability to
Sec. 73.625(a). Deleting it does not alter the rule and avoids
confusion. Finally, the Order deletes Sec. 73.3700(f), which sets
forth the requirements for filing service rule waiver requests
immediately following the close of the incentive auction in 2017. Such
waiver requests were required to be submitted no later than May 15,
2017 and all such requests have been disposed of in decisions that are
now final.
Low Power TV, TV Translator, and TV Booster Stations. The Order
also amends a number of Part 74 rules that apply to low power and
television translator stations to remove references to channels and
frequency bands that are no longer in-core television spectrum and/or
reference analog TV operations which are no longer permitted,
specifically, 47 CFR 74.702(a)(2) and (3), (b); 74.703 (f) and (g);
74.707; 74.735(a), (b), and (c); 74.786 (c) and (d)-(g); 74.787(c);
74.792(a); and 74.795(c)(1).
This document does not contain information collection requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. In
addition, therefore, it does not contain any proposed information
collection burden ``for small business concerns with fewer than 25
employees,'' pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of
2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4). Provisions of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, do not apply to
this proceeding. The Commission has determined, and the Administrator
of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, concurs that this rule is ``non-major'' under
the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The Commission will also
send a copy of this Order to Congress and the Government Accountability
office, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).

9. Section 73.622 is amended by revising paragraphs (a) introductory
text and (a)(1), removing and reserving paragraph (b), revising
paragraphs (e)(1) and (2), removing and reserving paragraphs (f)(1),
(g), and (i), and adding paragraph (j).
The revisions and addition read as follows:
Sec. 73.622 Digital television table of allotments.
(a) General. The following table of allotments contains the digital
television (DTV) channel allotments designated for the listed
communities in the United States, its Territories, and possessions.
Requests for addition of new DTV allotments, or requests to change the
channels allotted to a community must be made in a petition for rule
making to amend the DTV Table of Allotments. A request to amend the DTV
table to change the channel of an allotment in the DTV table will be
evaluated for technical acceptability using engineering criteria set
forth in Sec. 73.623(c). A request to amend the DTV table to add a new
allotment will be evaluated for technical acceptability using the
geographic spacing criteria set forth in Sec. 73.623(d). DTV
allotments designated with an asterisk are assigned for use by non-
commercial educational broadcast stations only. Rules governing
noncommercial educational TV stations are contained in Sec. 73.621.
Where there is only one technically available channel available in a
community, an entity that would be eligible to operate a noncommercial
educational broadcast station may, prior to application, initiate a
rulemaking proceeding requesting that an unoccupied or new channel in
the community be changed or added as reserved only for noncommercial
educational broadcasting upon demonstrating that the noncommercial
educational proponent would provide a first or second noncommercial
educational TV service to 2,000 or more people who constitute 10% of
the population within the proposed allocation's noise limited contour.
(1) Petitions requesting the addition of a new allotment must
specify a channel in the range of channels 2-36.
* * * * *
(e) * * *
(1) The service area of a DTV station is the geographic area within
the station's noise-limited F(50,90) contour where its signal strength
is predicted to exceed the noise-limited service level. The noise-
limited contour is the area in which the predicted F(50,90) field
strength of the station's signal, in dB above 1 microvolt per meter
(dBu) as determined using the method in Sec. 73.625(b) exceeds the
following levels (these are the levels at which reception of DTV
service is limited by noise):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
dBu
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Channels 2-6................................................. 28
Channels 7-13................................................ 36
Channels 14-36............................................... 41
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) Within this contour, service is considered available at
locations where the station's signal strength, as predicted using the
terrain dependent Longley-Rice point-to-point propagation model,
exceeds the levels above. Guidance for evaluating coverage areas using
the Longley-Rice methodology is provided in OET Bulletin No. 69. Copies
of this document are available on the FCC's website. See <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/general/oet-bulletins-line">https://www.fcc.gov/general/oet-bulletins-line</a>.

* * * * *
0
13. Section 73.687 is amended by revising paragraphs (a)(1) and (4),
(e)(3), (e)(4) introductory text, and (e)(4)(i) to read as follows:
Sec. 73.687 Transmission system requirements.
(a) * * *
(1) The field strength or voltage of the lower sideband, as
radiated or dissipated and measured as described in paragraph (a)(2) of
this section, shall not be greater than -20 dB for a modulating
frequency of 1.25 MHz or greater and in addition, for color, shall not
be greater than -42 dB for a modulating frequency of 3.579545 MHz (the
color subcarrier frequency). For both monochrome and color, the field
strength or voltage of the upper sideband as radiated or dissipated and
measured as described in paragraph (a)(2) of this section shall not be
greater than -20 dB for a modulating frequency of 4.75 MHz or greater.
For stations operating on Channels 15-36 and employing a transmitter
delivering maximum peak visual power output of 1 kW or less, the field
strength or voltage of the upper and lower sidebands, as radiated or
dissipated and measured as described in paragraph (a)(2) of this
section, shall depart from the visual amplitude characteristic (Figure
5a of Sec. 73.699) by no more than the following amounts:
* * * * *
(4) The radio frequency signal, as radiated, shall have an envelope
as would be produced by a modulating signal in conformity with Sec.
73.682 and Figure 6 or 7 of Sec. 73.699, as modified by vestigial
sideband operation specified in Figure 5 of Sec. 73.699. For stations
operating on Channels 15-36 the radio frequency signal as radiated,
shall have an envelope as would be produced by a modulating signal in
conformity with Sec. 73.682 and Figure 6 or 7 of Sec. 73.699.
* * * * *
(e) * * *
(3) TV broadcast stations operating on Channel 14 must take special
precautions to avoid interference to adjacent spectrum land mobile
radio service facilities. Where a TV station is authorized and
operating prior to the authorization and operation of the land mobile
facility, a Channel 14 station must attenuate its emissions within the
frequency range 467 to 470 MHz if necessary to permit reasonable use of
the adjacent frequencies by land mobile licensees.
(4) The requirements listed below apply to permittees authorized to
construct a new station on TV Channel 14, and to licensees authorized
to change the channel of an existing station to Channel 14, to increase
effective radiated power (ERP) (including any change in directional
antenna characteristics that results in an increase in ERP in any
direction), or to change the transmitting location of an existing
station.
(i) For the purposes of this paragraph (e), a protected land mobile
facility is a receiver that is intended to receive transmissions from
licensed land mobile stations within the frequency band below 470 MHz,
and is associated with one or more land mobile stations for which a
license has been issued by the Commission, or a proper application has
been received by the Commission prior to the date of the filing of the
TV construction permit application. However, a land mobile facility
will not be protected if it is proposed in an application that is
denied or dismissed and that action is no longer subject to Commission
review. Further, if the land mobile station is not operating when the
TV facility commences operation and it does not commence operation
within the time permitted by its authorization in accordance with part
90 of this chapter, it will not be protected.

operation (see Sec. 74.709(a) and (b) of this chapter for tables of
urban areas and reference coordinates of potentially affected land
mobile operations), which operate omnidirectionally, may increase the
vertically polarized effective radiated power up to the authorized
horizontally polarized effective radiated power in a license
modification application. Noncommercial educational FM licensees and
permittees on Channels 201 through 220, that do not use separate
antennas mounted at different heights for the horizontally polarized
ERP and the vertically polarized ERP, and are located in excess of the
separations from a Channel 6 television station listed in Table A of
Sec. 73.525(a)(1), may also increase the vertical ERP, up to (but not
exceeding) the authorized horizontally polarized ERP via a license
modification application. Program test operations may commence at full
power pursuant to Sec. 73.1620(a)(1).

power TV, TV translators, and TV booster applications.
(a) * * *
(1) In the first group are applications for new stations or major
changes in the facilities of authorized stations. A major change for TV
broadcast stations authorized under this part is any change in
frequency or community of license which is in accord with a present
allotment contained in the Table of Allotments (Sec. 73.622(j)). Other
requests for change in frequency or community of license for TV
broadcast stations must first be submitted in the form of a petition
for rulemaking to amend the Table of Allotments.
* * * * *
(4) * * *
(ii) Provided further, that a low power TV or TV translator or TV
booster station which is causing or receiving interference or is
predicted to cause or receive interference to or from an authorized DTV
station pursuant to Sec. 74.706 of this chapter, or which is located
within the distances specified in paragraph (a)(4)(iv) of this section
to the coordinates of co-channel DTV authorizations (or allotment table
coordinates if there are no authorized facilities at different
coordinates), may at any time file a displacement relief application
for a change in output channel, together with any technical
modifications which are necessary to avoid interference or continue
serving the station's protected service area. Such an application will
not be considered as an application for a major change in those
facilities. Where such an application is mutually exclusive with
applications for new low power TV, TV translator, or TV booster
stations, or with other nondisplacement relief applications for
facilities modifications of Class A TV, low power TV, TV translator, or
TV booster stations, priority will be afforded to the displacement
application(s) to the exclusion of other applications.
