The 3.7 GHz Report and Order required that the Relocation Coordinator ‘‘must be able to demonstrate that it has the requisite expertise to perform the duties required, which will include: (1) Coordinating the schedule for clearing the band; (2) performing engineering analysis, as necessary, to determine necessary earth station migration actions; (3) assigning obligations, as necessary, for earth station migrations and filtering; (4) coordinating with overlay licensees throughout the transition process; (5) assessing the completion of the transition in each PEA and determining overlay licensees’ ability to commence operations; and (6) mediating scheduling disputes.’’ PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 On July 31, 2020, eligible space station operators announced that they had selected RSM to serve as the Relocation Coordinator. The search committee determined that RSM has the requisite expertise to fulfill the criteria the Commission adopted in the 3.7 GHz Report and Order and codified in its rules. In a public notice, the Bureau sought comment on whether RSM satisfies these criteria. In response, the satellite operators submitted a filing describing RSM’s qualifications, organizational structure, and plan to satisfy each of the responsibilities set forth in the 3.7 GHz Report and Order. No commenters opposed RSM’s selection. After reviewing the record regarding RSM and its qualifications, the Bureau finds and announces by this Order that RSM has demonstrated that it has the requisite expertise to perform the duties that section 27.1413(b) of our rules, 47 CFR 27.1413(b), requires a relocation coordinator for the C-band transition to be capable of performing.
