WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU
OUTLINES APPLICATION FREEZE PROCESS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF
800 MHZ BAND RECONFIGURATION
By this Public Notice, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) outlines the process for acceptance of applications for 800 MHz band licenses in connection with implementation of the reconfiguration of the band. Specifically, in each National Public Safety Planning Advisory Committee (NPSPAC) region, there will be two separate application filing freezes during band reconfiguration. As discussed below, the use of two separate freezes is intended to preserve licensee flexibility and, to the extent practicable, to avoid adverse effects on 800 MHz band radio operations.
By way of background, pursuant to the Report and Order, band reconfiguration in a given NPSPAC region would begin with the release of a Public Notice (Starter PN), specifying the date on which reconfiguration negotiations become mandatory instead of voluntary. During the negotiation period all incumbent licensees in the NPSPAC region whose facilities must be reconfigured would negotiate with Nextel about payment of the associated costs. If Nextel and an incumbent licensee fail to reach a voluntary agreement, they would then be required to enter a three-month mandatory negotiation period, starting on the date specified in the Starter PN.
