SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Synopsis
On March 3, 2020, the Commission
released the 3.7 GHz Band Report and
Order (FCC 20–22), which adopted new
rules to make available 280 megahertz of
mid-band spectrum for flexible use, plus
a 20 megahertz guard band, throughout
the contiguous United States by
transitioning existing services out of the
lower portion and into the upper 200
megahertz of the 3.7–4.2 GHz band (Cband). The 3.7 GHz Report and Order
allowed a search committee of eligible
Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) space
station operators to select, not later than
July 31, 2020, a Relocation Coordinator
that will be responsible for managing
the overall transition and coordinating
relocation actions among eligible FSS
space station operators, incumbent FSS
earth station operation, and new 3.7
GHz Service flexible-use licensees. 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.’’

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.
