Background
On October 28, 2022, the Commission released a Notice of Inquiry
and Order, GN Docket No. 22-352, Expanding Use of the 12.7-13.25 GHz
Band for Mobile Broadband or Other Expanded Use (FCC 22-80). In the
Order portion of this item, the Commission noted that on September 19,
2022, the International, Media, Public Safety and Homeland Security,
and Wireless Telecommunications Bureaus (Bureaus) announced a
temporary, 180-day, freeze, effective as of September 19, 2022, on
filing new or modified applications for licenses in the 12.7 GHz
band.\1\ The purpose of this freeze was ``to preserve the current
landscape of authorized operations in the 12.7 GHz band pending the
Commission's consideration of actions that might encourage the larger
and more effective use of radio in the public interest.'' \2\ The
Bureaus noted that ``[t]he Commission or the Bureaus may extend the
freeze if doing so is deemed necessary to avoid undermining the purpose
of the freeze.'' \3\ In view of the Commission's adoption of the Notice
of Inquiry, the accompanying Order extends the temporary freeze pending
the outcome of GN Docket No. 22-352. The Bureaus retain jurisdiction to
modify the freeze notwithstanding this order.
