Synopsis
With this Public Notice, the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (the
Bureau) announces that it has received
a Request for Proposal, which contains
the selection criteria and filing
instructions for proposals for the
position of Clearinghouse in the C-band
transition. In the 3.7 GHz Band Report
and Order, the Commission adopted
rules to make 280 megahertz of midband spectrum available for flexible use,
plus a 20 megahertz guard band,
throughout the contiguous United States
by transitioning existing services out of
the lower portion of the band and into
the upper 200 megahertz of the C-band.
The 3.7 GHz Band Report and Order
provided for the creation of a neutral,
independent Clearinghouse to oversee
the cost-related aspects of the transition,
including collecting relocation
payments from new 3.7 GHz Service
licensees and disbursing those
payments to incumbents. In the 3.7 GHz
Band Report and Order, the
Commission invited a committee of
stakeholders in the C-band to establish
detailed selection criteria and to select
the Clearinghouse. The 3.7 GHz Band
Report and Order directed the Bureau to
issue a Public Notice that: (1) Notified
the public that the search committee
had published criteria for the selection
of the Clearinghouse; (2) outlined the
submission requirements; and (3)
provided the closing dates for the
selection of the Clearinghouse. The
search committee submitted the Request
for Proposal to the Commission on June
1, 2020.
The search committee’s Request for
Proposal, attached to this Public Notice,
details the selection criteria and
instructions for filing proposals for the
Clearinghouse position. Entities must
file proposals electronically with the
search committee, according to the
filing instructions contained in the
Request for Proposal, by June 29, 2020.

Jkt 250001
The Bureau seeks comment on the
implementation of new NORS and 911
Reliability Certification System data
fields for covered 911 service providers.
These new fields will improve the
Bureau’s ability to assess 911 reliability
by aiding the Commission in identifying
911 special facilities (such as public
safety answering points (PSAPs))
affected by service outages, determining
whether alternative measures to circuit
diversity are effective in maintaining
network reliability, recognizing year-toyear improvements in 911 reliability,
and ensuring compliance with existing
network reliability requirements. The
Bureau intends to make these
modifications pursuant to its delegated
authority. Specifically, the Commission
has delegated authority to the Bureau to
administer its ‘‘communications
disruption reporting requirements,’’ and
‘‘revise the filing system and template
used for the submission of such
communications disruption reports,’’ 47
CFR 0.392(i), 0.191(g). The Commission
has also delegated authority to the
Bureau, ‘‘consistent with the
requirements of the Administrative
Procedure Act and relevant portions of
the Communications Act,’’ to develop
‘‘forms and procedures as may be
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703

required to collect and process [911]
certifications, and . . . periodically
update those forms and procedures as
necessary’’ and ‘‘order appropriate
remedial action on a case-by-case basis
where 911 reliability certifications
indicate such actions are necessary to
protect public safety,’’ 79 FR 3123, 3129
(Jan. 17, 2014) (911 Reliability Report
and Order). While these systems have
distinct and independent reporting
requirements, the Bureau believes that
modifications to NORS will supply
more insight into the representations
covered 911 service providers make
with respect to 911 reliability
certifications. Specifically,
supplementing NORS outage reports
with information available to covered
911 service providers from their most
recent 911 reliability certifications can
help to confirm the extent to which any
alternative measures they use to ensure
circuit diversity are effective.
II. Modifications to NORS Reporting
Forms
911 Special Facilities Impacted by
Outages. Information about which 911
special facilities are affected by outages,
and whether 911 special facilities were
notified of outages, facilitates the
Bureau’s efforts to better ascertain and
analyze the effect of outages required to
be reported under the Commission’s
part 4 rules, and to enforce those aspects
of the rules requiring covered 911
service providers to submit notifications
to the Bureau regarding outages that
potentially affect 911 special facilities.
The part 4 rules require that ‘‘all
pertinent information on the outage,
including any information that was not
contained in, or that has changed from
that provided in, the Initial report.’’ In
the Bureau’s experience, it has often
been required to follow up with covered
911 service providers to determine
whether 911 special facilities were
affected and whether the relevant
PSAPs were appropriately notified. We
believe a more efficient approach would
be to receive this information in the
reports from covered 911 service
providers at the outset. In these regards,
the Bureau proposes to modify the
specificity of the information requested
of covered 911 service providers on
NORS notification, initial and final
reports submission forms. These forms
will be revised to include a checkbox
that will enable filers to check ‘‘yes’’ or
‘‘no’’ to indicate whether they are a
covered 911 service provider. If the filer
indicates that it is a covered 911 service
provider, the filer will be prompted to
identify which 911 special facilities are
affected by an outage, whether they
were notified and, if so, how they were
