Please see Supplementary Information, Item B. asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES A. Why are revisions to State programs necessary? States with primary PWSS enforcement authority must comply with the requirements of 40 CFR part 142 to maintain primacy. They must adopt regulations that are at least as stringent as the NPDWRs at 40 CFR parts 141 and 142, as well as adopt all new and revised NPDWRs in order to retain primacy (40 CFR 142.12(a)).

Low power television, analog-to-digital replacement translators, and TV translator stations (LPTV/translator stations) on channels 38 through 51 must terminate operation or resolve interference if they receive notice of likely interference to a new 600 MHz Band licensee that intends to commence operations or conduct first field application (FFA) testing.

One of the recipients of the licenses granted on June 14, 2017 has indicated that it may commence operations or conduct FFA testing using some of its 600 MHz Band licenses later this year, thereby displacing some LPTV/translator stations. There is currently a freeze on the filing of displacement applications (Displacement Freeze) and the Commission will release a Displacement Public Notice announcing the date of a Special Displacement Window for operating LPTV/translator stations subject to displacement as a result of the incentive auction and repacking SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\17JYN1.SGM 17JYN1
