Download as PDF 34764 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 114 / Wednesday, June 15, 2005 / Notices extent possible. The most important of these rules imposes responsibility on the interfering carriers to remedy interference in a timely manner. In the long-term, the Commission concluded that the entire 800 MHz band must be restructured. Band restructuring or reconfiguration refers to spectrally segregating public safety and ESMR operators as far as technically possible. To this end, Nextel Communications Inc. (Nextel) will secure a $2.5 billion letter (letters) of credit to pay for band reconfiguration. Without Nextel’s support, public safety licensees could not afford the costs of relocating their systems. This information collection includes the following requirements: (1) Prior notification; (2) electronic database; (3) response to interference complaints; (4) clear and imminent danger; (5) relocation agreements; and (6) Transition Administrator. The information collection requirements and third party disclosure requirements will be used by the Commission to ensure that Cellular/ ESMR, Public Safety, Critical Infrastructure Industry (CII), and other 800 MHz licensees comply with interference mitigation and frequency relocation requirements in an orderly, timely, comprehensive fashion with no unnecessary delay.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: As part of the 800 MHz band reconfiguration process, the Commission stated that it would issue a public notice thirty days before reconfiguration is scheduled to start in each NPSPAC region. Each such public notice will specify a three-month voluntary negotiation period during which time identified licensees in the regions being reconfigured are encouraged to reach agreement with Nextel on the details of relocating. The voluntary negotiation period would be followed by a three-month mandatory negotiation period, if necessary. The Commission also stated that it would freeze the filing of certain 800 MHz applications for the regions being reconfigured when it issued a public notice announcing the date when voluntary negotiation of relocation agreements must be concluded. The Commission explained that this freeze is necessary in order to maintain a stable spectral landscape during the reconfiguration process in each region. Finally, the Commission noted that the start date for reconfiguration in the first NPSPAC region will also be the start date for computation of two interim reconfiguration benchmarks (eighteen and thirty months) and the start date for determining when reconfiguration must be completed (thirty-six months). DATES: This notice announces that 800 MHz band reconfiguration shall commence on June 27, 2005.

In July 2004, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a Report and Order (69 FR 67823, November 22, 2004), which reconfigured the 800 MHz band to eliminate interference to public safety and other land mobile communication systems operating in the band.
