On October 20, 2015, FirstNet filed an ex parte letter stating that its Board recently approved a Spectrum Relocation Grant Program designed to facilitate the relocation of Band 14 incumbents, and that it expects a Federal Funding Opportunity for the grant program to be released in early 2016. FirstNet further requests ‘‘that the continuation of Commission licenses or other authorizations under Band 14 by any incumbent be conditioned upon the requirement that no operation on Band 14 be permitted without the express consent of FirstNet after July 31, 2017.’’ FirstNet also requests that ‘‘[i]n addition or in the alternative, . . . the Commission consider conditioning any continued operation on Band 14 on the cessation of all operations on Band 14 within 90 days written notice to the Band 14 incumbent(s) from FirstNet that deployment of the NPSBN is to begin in its State.’’ 2.

Specifically, the Commission asked whether it could require FirstNet to manage this transition process, or to provide funds for the process, and whether the Commission should establish a hard deadline by which relocation should be accomplished. While the Commission has already received comments on these issues, it believes that seeking expedited comment on FirstNet’s more specific request will help ensure a complete and comprehensive record, and is consistent with FirstNet’s expectation of release of a Federal Funding Opportunity for its related grant program in early 2016. Accordingly, the Commission seeks comment on FirstNet’s request in light of the 2013 Notice and the associated record. 3.

    1. On October 20, 2015, FirstNet filed an ex parte letter stating 
that its Board recently approved a Spectrum Relocation Grant Program 
designed to facilitate the relocation of Band 14 incumbents, and that 
it expects a Federal Funding Opportunity for the grant program to be 
released in early 2016. FirstNet further requests ``that the 
continuation of Commission licenses or other authorizations under Band 
14 by any incumbent be conditioned upon the requirement that no 
operation on Band 14 be permitted without the express consent of 
FirstNet after July 31, 2017.'' FirstNet also requests that ``[i]n 
addition or in the alternative, . . . the Commission consider 
conditioning any continued operation on Band 14 on the cessation of all 
operations on Band 14 within 90 days written notice to the Band 14 
incumbent(s) from FirstNet that deployment of the NPSBN is to begin in 
its State.''
    2. In its 2013 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in these dockets, the 
Commission sought comment ``on the appropriate mechanism to transition 
incumbent narrowband operators out of [Band 14] and on the timeframe by 
which such a transition should be accomplished,'' 78 FR 24138, April 
24, 2013. Specifically, the Commission asked whether it could require 
FirstNet to manage this transition process, or to provide funds for the 
process, and whether the Commission should establish a hard deadline by 
which relocation should be accomplished. While the Commission has 
already received comments on these issues, it believes that seeking 
expedited comment on FirstNet's more specific request will help ensure 
a complete and comprehensive record, and is consistent with FirstNet's 
expectation of release of a Federal Funding Opportunity for its related 
grant program in early 2016. Accordingly, the Commission seeks comment 
on FirstNet's request in light of the 2013 Notice and the associated 
record.
    3. Interested parties may file comments until fourteen days after 
the publication of this document in the Federal Register. All pleadings 
are to reference PS Docket 12-94, PS Docket 06-229 and WT Docket No. 
06-150. This proceeding is a ``permit-but-disclose'' proceeding in 
accordance with the Commission's ex parte rules.
