SUMMARY: In this document, the Federal Communications Commission
(Commission) announces the procedures related to the filing of Phase II
Certifications of Accelerated Relocation (Certifications) and
implements the Commission's incremental reduction plan for Phase II
Accelerated Relocation Payments (ARPs) as part of the ongoing
transition of the 3.7 GHz band.
DATES: Effective June 1, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 45 L St. NE, Washington,
DC 20554.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information on this
proceeding, contact Susan Mort of the Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau, at (202) 418-2429 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#33604640525d1d7e5c4147735550501d545c45"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="560523253738781b3924221630353578313920">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the document, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau Announces Procedures for Filing of C-Band
Phase II Certifications of Accelerated Relocation and Implementation of
the Commission's Incremental Reduction Plan for Phase II Accelerated
Relocation Payments, released on May 15, 2023. The full text of this
document is available for public inspection online at <a href="https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-23-408A1.pdf">https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-23-408A1.pdf</a>.
1. With this document, the Bureau adopts filing procedures for the
submission of Phase II Certifications, as proposed in C-Band Phase II
Certification of Accelerated Relocation Procedures and Implementation
of the Commission's Incremental Reduction Plan for Phase II Accelerated
Relocation Public Notice (Phase II Certification Procedures and
Incremental Reduction Comment PN), released in March 2023 in this
proceeding (88 FR 16932, Mar. 21, 2023). These procedures are modeled
after those previously adopted for Phase I to allow eligible space
station operators to submit Certifications, and stakeholders to file
related challenges, with respect to the
[[Page 33551]]
Phase II migration of incumbent services in this band. The Bureau
modified these requirements in response to the record in this
proceeding, adopting a standardized Certification format proposed by
the eligible space station operators in order to streamline the
processing and review of the Certifications. The Bureau adopted June 1,
2023 as the date on which Certifications may be filed. In order to
ensure this timeline is satisfied, these rules will be effective on
June 1, 2023, rather than 30 days after publication.
2. With respect to the Phase II incremental reduction plan, the
Bureau adopted an approach that parallels the Phase I process for
calculating the incremental reduction of an eligible space station
operator's ARP should it fail to meet the Phase II Accelerated
Relocation Deadline, as proposed.
Federal Communications Commission.
