229, WT Docket No. 96–86, WT Docket
No. 07–166, FCC No. 07–132 (2007
Report and Order), which established
rules governing wireless licenses in the
700 MHz spectrum. The 700 MHz
spectrum was made available for
wireless services, including public
safety and commercial services, as a
result of the digital television (‘‘DTV’’)
transition. Title III of the Deficit
Reduction Act of 2005 (‘‘DRA’’), Public
Law 109–171, 120 Stat. 4 (2006), (titled
the Digital Television Transition and
Public Safety Act of 2005 [‘‘DTV Act’’]),
accelerated the DTV transition
completion date to February 17, 2009.
In light of the change to the DTV
transition, as well as developments in
commercial wireless communications
and evolving needs of the public safety
community, the Commission reexamined its 700 MHz rules and
combined the following three
interrelated proceedings: (1) The 700
MHz Commercial Services proceeding,
71 FR 48506 (2006), (2) the 700 MHz
Guard Bands proceeding, 71 FR 57455,
and (3) the 700 MHz Public Safety
proceeding, 72 FR 1201 (2007); 71 FR
17786 (2006), which yielded in April
2007 both a Report and Order and
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(the 700 MHz Report and Order, 72 FR
27688 (2007), and 700 MHz Further
NPRM, 72 FR 24238 (2007),
respectively. (See FCC 07–72.)
Among the many actions taken in the
2007 Report and Order, the
Commission: Adopted a mix of
geographic license area sizes for the
commercial services, including Cellular
Market Areas (CMAs), Economic Areas
(EAs), and Regional Economic Areas
(REAGs); eliminated rules that permit
comparative hearings for license
renewal, and clarified the requirements
and procedures of the license renewal
process; shifted the license termination
date from January 15, 2015 to February
17, 2019, thus granting licensees an
initial license term not-to-exceed ten
years after the end of the DTV
transition; adopted a power spectral
density model to provide greater
operational flexibility to licensees
operating at wider bandwidths;
continued to allow a 50 kW effective
radiated power level for base station
operations for auctioned licenses and
unpaired spectrum in the lower 700
MHz band (TV Channels 52–59);
modified power limits for upper 700
MHz band (TV Channels 60–69), and;
permitted 700 MHz licensees to meet
radiated power limits on an average,
rather than peak, basis.
Further, in order to promote access to
spectrum and the provision of service,
the 2007 Report and Order adopted
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:10 Jun 14, 2017
Jkt 241001
revised performance requirements for
certain 700 MHz licensees, including
the use of interim and end-of-term
benchmarks. The 2007 Report and Order
also imposed interim reporting
requirements on licensees to provide the
Commission with information
concerning the status of licensees’
efforts to meet performance
requirements and the manner in which
their spectrum is being utilized.
On February 20, 2009, the
Commission adopted a Second Report
and Order and Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking in MB Docket No. 09–17,
MB Docket No. 07–148, MB Docket No.
07–91, MB Docket No. 08–255, WT
Docket No. 06–150, WT Docket No. 06–
169, PS Docket No. 06–229, WT Docket
No. 96–86, FCC 09–11, to implement the
DTV Delay Act, Public Law 111–4, 123
Stat. 112 (2009), which extended the
DTV transition deadline from February
17, 2009, to June 12, 2009. Steps taken
by the Commission to conform with the
DTV Delay Act included the extension
of applicable 700 MHz construction
benchmarks and reporting requirements
by a period of 116 days.
On October 29, 2013, the Commission
issued a Report and Order and Order of
Proposed Modification in WT Docket
No. 12–69 and WT Docket No. 12–332,
FCC 13–136 (700 MHz Interoperability
Order), in which it revised certain
technical rules and extended or waived
construction deadlines for certain
licenses in order to resolve issues
resulting from the lack of
interoperability in the Lower 700 MHz
Band. The Report and Order did not
revise any of the information collection
requirements that are contained in this
collection. It simply waived or revised
the dates on which the information
collection requirements are required.
