SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Incentive Auction R&O, the Commission
delegated authority to the Media Bureau
to announce, after release of the
Channel Reassignment Public Notice
and after eligible full power and Class
A television stations have an
opportunity to file construction permit
applications for their new facilities,
including an alternative channel or
expanded facility, a limited window for
operating LPTV and TV translator
stations to submit displacement
applications. The Commission’s rules
limit eligibility to file in the
displacement window to ‘‘operating low
power TV and TV translator stations
that are displaced . . . as a result of the
broadcast television spectrum incentive
auction.’’ The Commission delegated
authority to the Media Bureau to
announce the terms of the limited
displacement window consistent with
the approach outlined in the Incentive
Auction R&O.
For these purposes, the Media
announces that it interprets an
‘‘operating’’ LPTV or TV translator
station that is displaced as a result of
the incentive auction to mean one that
is operating on the date of release of the
Channel Reassignment Public Notice.
Moreover, the Media Bureau clarifies
that for these purposes a station is
‘‘operating’’ if it has licensed its
authorized construction permit facilities
or has an application for a license to
cover on file with the Commission on
that date. LPTV stations will not be
required to actually cease operations on
their current channels until well after
the Channel Reassignment Public Notice
is released. But the new full power and
Class A channel assignments announced
in the Channel Reassignment Public
Notice and the new 600 MHz band plan
announced contemporaneously will
enable LPTV stations to determine
whether they will eventually be
required to move from their current
channel to accommodate a new primary
licensee and thus whether they would
wish to consider filing for a
displacement channel during the special
displacement window. Determining the
universe of displaced operating LPTV
stations as of the release of the Channel
Reassignment Public Notice will also
assist the Media Bureau in identifying
channels that can be proposed by
displaced stations based on repacking
and optimization software and issuing a
public notice listing potential channel

09JNN1
37196
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 111 / Thursday, June 9, 2016 / Notices
assignments in advance of the
displacement window.
By announcing the deadline for
identifying operating LPTV stations
now, well in advance of the release of
the Channel Reassignment Public
Notice, the Media Bureau seeks to
provide LPTV and TV translator station
permittees with ‘‘sufficient warning of
this crucial deadline to allow them to
complete construction and license
permitted facilities.’’ Permittees of
digital LPTV and TV translators that are
not operating on the date of release of
the Channel Reassignment Public Notice
will have to wait until the completion
of the special displacement window for
operating LPTV and TV translator
stations before being able to file a
displacement application and propose a
channel from the smaller universe of
unused television channels.
The Media Bureau also reminds LPTV
and TV translator permittees that the
Commission has extended the
construction deadline for new digital
LPTV and TV translator stations to the
new digital transition date for the LPTV
and TV translator service, which is 51
months after the release of the Channel
Reassignment Public Notice. Thus, any
construction efforts they may make
between now and release of the Channel
Reassignment Public Notice are
completely voluntary.
This action is taken by the Chief,
Media Bureau pursuant to authority
delegated by 47 CFR 0.283 of the
Commission’s rules.
