tkelley on DSKBCP9HB2PROD with NOTICES
applications. Immediately thereafter, for
a ninety-day period, i.e., from March 22,
2021 until June 21, 2021, the Bureaus
announced that they will accept certain
types of applications but only from
incumbent licensees.
3. Band applications established in
the Public Notice are procedural in
nature, and therefore not subject to the
notice and comment and effective date
requirements of the Administrative
Procedure Act. Moreover, the Bureaus
found good cause for not delaying the
effect of the modifications until after
publication of the Public Notice in the
Federal Register. The Bureaus indicated
that such a delay is unnecessary and
contrary to the public interest because,
without good reason, it would impede
timely access to T-Band channels to
applicants that require new or enhanced
communications services.
