[FR Doc. 2014–14884 Filed 6–24–14; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 1610–02–P VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:36 Jun 24, 2014 Jkt 232001 Federal Communications Commission. ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: This document announces a freeze on the filing of displacement applications by Class A television, low power television and TV translator stations and on the filing of applications for digital replacement translators. DATES: This filing limitation become effective on June 11, 2014. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shaun Maher, Video Division, Media Bureau, (202) 418–2324, Shaun.Maher@ fcc.gov SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective immediately, the Media Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission announces a freeze on the filing of applications for digital replacement translator (DRT) stations and displacement applications for low power television (LPTV), TV translator, and Class A television stations pursuant to §§ 73.3572(a)(4) and 74.787(a)(4) of the Commission’s rules. Because the digital transition was largely completed five years ago, in June 2009, and the Bureau issued a Freeze Public Notice on April 5, 2013, imposing limitations on the filing and processing of certain applications by full power and Class A television stations, there should be little occasion for new DRT and displacement applications to be filed. See Media Bureau Announces Limitations on the Filing and Processing of Full Power and Class A Television Station Modification Applications, Effective Immediately, and Reminds Stations of Spectrum Act Preservation Mandate, Public Notice, 28 FCC Rcd 4364. In addition, Class A television stations were subject to displacement only as the result of ‘‘engineering solutions’’ by full power stations to resolve ‘‘technical problems’’ in replicating and maximizing the full power station’s DTV service areas during the DTV transition. Consequently, the impact of this freeze on the LPTV, TV translator, and Class A services should be minimal. The Commission recently adopted rules to implement the broadcast television spectrum incentive auction authorized by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, Public Law 112–96 Sections 6402, 6403, SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00072 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 36059 126 Stat. 156 (2012). In conjunction with the incentive auction, the Commission has announced that it will conduct a ‘‘reverse auction’’ and reorganization or ‘‘repacking’’ of the broadcast television bands in order to free up a portion of the ultra high frequency (UHF) band for new flexible uses. See In the Matter of Expanding the Economic and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions, MB Docket No. 12–268, Report and Order, FCC 14–50, released June 2, 2014. The facilities of DRT, LPTV, and TV translator stations will not be protected during repacking. Existing DRT, LPTV, and TV translator stations displaced by repacking will be permitted to file displacement applications in a special window to be opened following the completion of the auction. To facilitate the special displacement window and to protect the opportunity for stations displaced by repacking of the television bands to obtain a new channel from the limited number of channels likely to be available for application after repacking, the Media Bureau deems it appropriate to freeze the acceptance of additional DRT and displacement applications at this time. The Media Bureau will continue to process pending DRT and displacement applications. Following the completion of the incentive auction, the Media Bureau will announce the dates and procedures for the special displacement window. During the freeze, the Media Bureau will consider waiver requests by LPTV and TV translator stations that wish to submit a displacement application demonstrating that they are causing or receiving ‘‘new actual’’ interference to or from a full power television station. By ‘‘new’’ interference, we mean interference that is a result of the initiation of new or modified service by a full power station during the freeze. To qualify for the waiver, the displacement applicant must demonstrate either actual interference within the noise limited contour of the full power station or actual interference to the displacement applicant’s LPTV or TV translator station, either of which will result in the immediate loss of service to viewers, thus necessitating the grant of its application. Although the Commission is not accepting modification applications for changes to existing television service areas that would increase a full power station’s noise-limited contour or a Class A station’s protected contour in one or more directions beyond the area resulting from the station’s authorized facilities as of the April 5, 2013 freeze, E:\FR\FM\25JNN1.SGM 25JNN1
