In this document, the
Commission considered a request for
declaratory ruling filed by the City of
Charlotte, North Carolina, seeking
guidance on the scope of permissible
operations under section 337 of the
Communications Act as undertaken by
state, local and other governmental
entities in the public safety broadband
spectrum of the 700 MHz band. The
Commission dismissed the request, but
clarified that a reasonably broad
interpretation of the definition of
‘‘public safety services’’ under section
337 of the Act would allow some of the
uses proposed by Charlotte and other
commenters.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Commission considered a request
for declaratory ruling filed by the City
of Charlotte, North Carolina (Charlotte),
requesting that the Commission clarify
that ‘‘[t]erritories, possessions, states,
counties, towns or similar State or local
governmental entities that qualify as 700
MHz lessees/users have as their sole or
principal purpose the protection of the
safety of life, health and property and
are permitted to use 700 MHz
broadband spectrum for activities
conducted by their personnel including,
but not limited to, activities of police,
fire and medical emergency first
responders.’’ The Commission
determined that the plain language of
section 337 of the Communications Act
does not support this broad
presumption, and it accordingly
dismissed Charlotte’s request. The
Commission clarified, however, that
there is sufficient flexibility within
section 337 to encompass many of the
state and local government uses of the
spectrum contemplated by Charlotte
and by other commenters.
