Tools Available To Displaced Low

Stations

Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This document sets forth tools
available to low power television and
TV translator stations that are displaced
prior to the opening of the Special
Displacement Window in the first
quarter of 2018.
DATES: July 17, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Auction
1000, which was conducted pursuant to
Title VI of the Middle Class Tax Relief
and Job Creation Act of 2012, was
completed on April 13, 2017, and on
June 14, 2017, the Commission granted
2,317 licenses to new wireless licensees
in the 600 MHz Band (former television
channels 38 through 51 spectrum). 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. This notice
must be in the form of a letter to the
LPTV/translator station not less than
120 days in advance of the commence
operations or FFA testing date (120-day
notice) and the LPTV/translator station
must cease operations or eliminate the
likelihood of harmful interference by
that date. 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

process. The Commission anticipates
that the Special Displacement Window
will most likely open in the first quarter
of 2018, and it therefore appears that
some LPTV/translator stations may be
displaced by a new 600 MHz Band
licensee in 2017, prior to the Special
Displacement Window opening in 2018.
In order to permit these displaced
stations to continue to provide service
to viewers with as little disruption as
possible, this document sets forth two
mechanisms stations may use to stay on
the air. First, until the Special
Displacement Window opens, an LPTV/
translator station that receives 120-day
notice from a wireless licensee may seek
to operate on a temporary channel by
submitting a displacement application,
together with a request for waiver of the
Displacement Freeze, and for Special
Temporary Authority (STA) to operate
on the channel proposed in the
displacement application. The ability to
operate on a temporary channel is
limited to operating LPTV/translator
stations on channels 36 through 51 that
have received a 120-day notice and
whose termination of operation date
will occur before the Special
Displacement Window opens (eligible
LPTV/translator stations). Displacement
applications that do not include a copy
of the 120-day notice will be dismissed.
Displacement applications must also
comply with the Commission’s rules
and will be treated as if filed on the last
day of the Special Displacement
Window. In considering an STA request
the Commission will determine whether
the proposed displacement facility
complies with technical and
interference rules, and stations granted
an STA to operate on facilities proposed
in their displacement applications may
be required to terminate their STA
operations if their application is
ultimately not granted.
Eligible LPTV/translator stations may
also channel share to continue to
provide service to viewers in area where
channel availability is limited. Two or
more eligible LPTV/translator stations
may each request a waiver of the
Displacement Freeze and submit a
displacement application that proposes
to share a channel with the other
station(s), as well as a request for an
STA. Displaced LPTV/translator stations
may also submit an application to
channel share with another LPTV/
translator station that has not received
a 120-day notice and such applications
are not subject to the Displacement
Freeze and may be filed at any time.
