47 CFR Parts 1, 73, and 74

[GEN Docket No. 12-268; FCC 21-111; FR ID 56167]


Expanding the Economic and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum 
Through Incentive Auction

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this document, the Commission adopts several rule updates 
to reflect the conclusion of the incentive auction and post-incentive 
auction transition period. First, the Commission adopts a revised Table 
of Allotments (Table) to reflect changes to full power television 
channel allotments contained in the 2018 Post-Transition Table of DTV 
Allotments to codify Commission actions taken over the past several 
years that modified the DTV channel allotments reflected in the 2018 
Table, primarily actions related to the incentive auction and repacking 
process authorized by the Spectrum Act. The Order also deletes or 
revises Commission rules that no longer have any practical effect given 
the conclusion of the incentive auction and post-incentive auction 
transition period, or that are otherwise obsolete or irrelevant.

DATES: Effective December 22, 2021.

Synopsis

    Channel allotments for full power television stations in the United 
States, its territories, and possessions are listed and codified in 47 
CFR part 73 of the Commission's rules, and applicants for full power 
television stations may only apply to construct on the channels 
designated in the codified Table of Allotments and only in the 
communities listed therein. To accommodate the analog to digital 
television transition, in 1997 the Commission allotted a paired DTV 
channel to analog television licensees and permittees. All full power 
stations terminated analog operations on June 12, 2009 (with minor and 
temporary exceptions) and thereafter broadcast solely on its allotted 
digital channel. In 2012, Congress passed the Spectrum Act that 
required the Commission to reorganize the ultra-high frequency (UHF) 
band using a two-sided incentive auction that reallocated broadcast 
television spectrum for mobile broadband services, which included a 
repacking process that reorganized and assigned new channels to full 
power and Class A broadcast TV stations that would remain on the air 
after the auction. In implementing the Spectrum Act, the Commission 
decided, after seeking comment on the issue, that it would not use a 
codified Table or rulemaking procedures to implement channel changes 
resulting from the repacking process, instead determining that the 
Table would be amended to codify all new full power channel assignments 
after completion of the repacking and channel substitution process.
    As a result of the incentive auction, 145 broadcast stations 
accepted incentive payments to relinquish their spectrum rights and 
either go off the air or, in some cases, continue broadcasting through 
a channel sharing arrangement. In addition, as a result of the 
repacking process, 987 full power and Class A stations were reassigned 
to new channels, and twenty-four winning channel sharing bidders filed 
applications to change their station's community of license. After the 
incentive auction, the Media Bureau opened two filing windows for 
stations that were repacked. These windows permitted certain reassigned 
stations or band changing stations to seek alternate channels. A total 
of 49 stations applied for an alternate channel during these two 
windows and received a construction permit for a new channel.
    With the incentive auction and 39-month post-incentive auction 
transition period completed in July 2019, the Media Bureau lifted a 
number of filing freezes, effective November 2020, that pertained to 
the 2018 Table. Specifically, the Media Bureau lifted freezes on:
     Petitions for rulemaking to change channels in the Table 
of Allotments.
     Petitions for rulemaking for new allotments.
     Petitions for rulemaking to change communities of license.
    The Bureau received almost 50 petitions, primarily to substitute a 
UHF channel for a VHF channel, to change a station's community of 
license, or to allot a new channel. The majority have been acted on and 
the changes effective, and the effective channel or community changes 
are reflected in the new Table. All the petitions were subject to a 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on the proposed rule 
changes and all were adopted through a Report and Order, pursuant to 
the Administrative Procedure Act, and published in the Federal 
Register.
    The Post-Transition Table of Allotments. The Order adopts a Table 
that reflects all previously approved changes since the last table of 
allotments update in 2018. Specifically, the new Table reflects the 
following actions by the Commission, described above: (1) The incentive 
auction and television repacking process authorized by the Spectrum 
Act; (2) channel changes requested by stations assigned to new channels 
as part of the incentive auction repacking process; and (3) changes 
adopted after lifting the freeze in November 2020 on the filing of 
rulemaking petitions to change the 2018 Table. In the Order, the 
Commission found good cause to make these

[[Page 66194]]

revisions to the Table without notice and comment. See 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(B) (providing that notice and comment are not required ``when 
the agency for good cause finds . . . that notice and public procedure 
thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public 
interest''). These revisions merely correct outdated information from 
the 2018 Table as a result of channel reassignments and/or community of 
license changes that have already been approved by the Commission.
    Deletion of Obsolete Rules. The Order also adopts non-substantive, 
technical revisions to certain rules in 47 CFR parts 1, 73, and 74 that 
are now outdated given the reallocation of television channels 38 
through 51 for wireless broadband uses, the previous reallocation of 
channels 52 through 69 for wireless use at the end of the DTV 
transition in June 2009, and the conversion from analog to digital 
television technology.
    Rulemaking Proceedings. The Order amends 47 CFR 1.420(a), (g), (h), 
and (i), which specify the procedures for amending the TV Table of 
Allotments, by deleting cross-references to ``Sec.  73.606(b)'' and 
replacing them with ``Sec.  73.622(j),'' the updated Table of 
Allotments adopted in the Order.
    Television Broadcast Stations. The Order amends 47 CFR 73.622 to 
delete the obsolete Tables in Sec.  73.622(b) and (i), which are 
superseded by Sec.  73.622(j), the updated Table of Allotments adopted 
in the Order. The Order also amends 47 CFR 73.606 by deleting the 
cross-reference to ``Sec.  73.622(i)'' and adding a cross-reference to 
``Sec.  73.622(j),'' and designates 47 CFR 73.622(j) as the ``successor 
regulation'' to 47 CFR 73.606. The Order also amends certain part 73 
rules to remove references to channels and frequency bands that are no 
longer in-core television spectrum given the reallocation of channels 
38 through 51 through the incentive auction repack and the previous 
reallocation of channels 52 through 69 at the end of the DTV transition 
in June 2009, and/or refer to obsolete rule Sec.  73.606(b), Sec.  
73.622(b), or Sec.  73.622(i) or reference analog TV stations or 
operations, or otherwise irrelevant information. Specifically, the 
Order deletes references to the 2018 Table, the obsolete rules 
sections, and references to channel numbers that are now out-of-core 
for television stations in each of the following: Sec. Sec.  73.603(a); 
73.613(b); 73.614(b)(5), 73.616(a); 73.622(a)(1) and (2), (b), (e)(1) 
and (2), (f)(1), (g), (i); 73.623 (a), and (c), and (g); 73.681; 
73.687(a)(1) and (4), (e)(3) and (4), (i); 73.699; 73.1690 (a)(8) and 
(c)(3) and (4); 73.3572 (a)(1) and (4)(ii); 73.6006; 73.6010(a) and 
(c); 73.7000. The Order also deletes irrelevant information from Sec.  
73.625(a). This rule sets forth the community coverage contour signal 
strength that stations must provide to the entire principal community 
to be served, and the deleted material sets forth the signal strength 
of a station's noise limited contour, and thus, has no applicability to 
Sec.  73.625(a). Deleting it does not alter the rule and avoids 
confusion. Finally, the Order deletes Sec.  73.3700(f), which sets 
forth the requirements for filing service rule waiver requests 
immediately following the close of the incentive auction in 2017. Such 
waiver requests were required to be submitted no later than May 15, 
2017 and all such requests have been disposed of in decisions that are 
now final.
    Low Power TV, TV Translator, and TV Booster Stations. The Order 
also amends a number of Part 74 rules that apply to low power and 
television translator stations to remove references to channels and 
frequency bands that are no longer in-core television spectrum and/or 
reference analog TV operations which are no longer permitted, 
specifically, 47 CFR 74.702(a)(2) and (3), (b); 74.703 (f) and (g); 
74.707; 74.735(a), (b), and (c); 74.786 (c) and (d)-(g); 74.787(c); 
74.792(a); and 74.795(c)(1).
    This document does not contain information collection requirements 
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. In 
addition, therefore, it does not contain any proposed information 
collection burden ``for small business concerns with fewer than 25 
employees,'' pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 
2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4). Provisions of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, do not apply to 
this proceeding. The Commission has determined, and the Administrator 
of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 
Management and Budget, concurs that this rule is ``non-major'' under 
the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The Commission will also 
send a copy of this Order to Congress and the Government Accountability 
office, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).

(g), and (i), and adding paragraph (j).
    The revisions and addition read as follows:


Sec.  73.622  Digital television table of allotments.

    (a) General. The following table of allotments contains the digital 
television (DTV) channel allotments designated for the listed 
communities in the United States, its Territories, and possessions. 
Requests for addition of new DTV allotments, or requests to change the 
channels allotted to a community must be made in a petition for rule 
making to amend the DTV Table of Allotments. A request to amend the DTV 
table to change the channel of an allotment in the DTV table will be 
evaluated for technical acceptability using engineering criteria set 
forth in Sec.  73.623(c). A request to amend the DTV table to add a new 
allotment will be evaluated for technical acceptability using the 
geographic spacing criteria set forth in Sec.  73.623(d). DTV 
allotments designated with an asterisk are assigned for use by non-
commercial educational broadcast stations only. Rules governing 
noncommercial educational TV stations are contained in Sec.  73.621. 
Where there is only one technically available channel available in a 
community, an entity that would be eligible to operate a noncommercial 
educational broadcast station may, prior to application, initiate a 
rulemaking proceeding requesting that an unoccupied or new channel in 
the community be changed or added as reserved only for noncommercial 
educational broadcasting upon demonstrating that the noncommercial 
educational proponent would provide a first or second noncommercial 
educational TV service to 2,000 or more people who constitute 10% of 
the population within the proposed allocation's noise limited contour.
    (1) Petitions requesting the addition of a new allotment must 
specify a channel in the range of channels 2-36.
* * * * *
    (e) * * *
    (1) The service area of a DTV station is the geographic area within 
the station's noise-limited F(50,90) contour where its signal strength 
is predicted to exceed the noise-limited service level. The noise-
limited contour is the area in which the predicted F(50,90) field 
strength of the station's signal, in dB above 1 microvolt per meter 
(dBu) as determined using the method in Sec.  73.625(b) exceeds the 
following levels (these are the levels at which reception of DTV 
service is limited by noise):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                  dBu

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (2) Within this contour, service is considered available at 
locations where the station's signal strength, as predicted using the 
terrain dependent Longley-Rice point-to-point propagation model, 
exceeds the levels above. Guidance for evaluating coverage areas using 
the Longley-Rice methodology is provided in OET Bulletin No. 69. Copies 
of this document are available on the FCC's website. See https://www.fcc.gov/general/oet-bulletins-line.

Sec.  73.623  DTV applications and changes to DTV allotments.

    (a) General. This section contains the technical criteria for 
evaluating applications requesting DTV facilities that do not conform 
to the provisions of Sec.  73.622 and petitions for rulemaking to amend 
the DTV Table of Allotments (Sec.  73.622(b)). Petitions to amend the 
DTV Table (other than those also expressly requesting amendment of this 
section) and applications for new DTV broadcast stations or for changes 
in authorized DTV stations filed pursuant to this section will not be 
accepted for filing if they fail to comply with the requirements of 
this section. Petitions for rule making and applications seeking 
facilities that will operate after the end of the DTV transition must 
also comply with Sec.  73.616.

Sec.  73.681  Definitions.

* * * * *
    Television broadcast band. The frequencies in the band extending 
from 54 to 608 megahertz which are assignable to television broadcast 
stations. These frequencies are 54 to 72 megahertz (channels 2 through 
4), 76 to 88 megahertz (channels 5 and 6), 174 to 216 megahertz 
(channels 7 through 13), and 470 to 608 megahertz (channels 14 through 
36).

13. Section 73.687 is amended by revising paragraphs (a)(1) and (4), 
(e)(3), (e)(4) introductory text, and (e)(4)(i) to read as follows:


Sec.  73.687  Transmission system requirements.

    (a) * * *
    (1) The field strength or voltage of the lower sideband, as 
radiated or dissipated and measured as described in paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section, shall not be greater than -20 dB for a modulating 
frequency of 1.25 MHz or greater and in addition, for color, shall not 
be greater than -42 dB for a modulating frequency of 3.579545 MHz (the 
color subcarrier frequency). For both monochrome and color, the field 
strength or voltage of the upper sideband as radiated or dissipated and 
measured as described in paragraph (a)(2) of this section shall not be 
greater than -20 dB for a modulating frequency of 4.75 MHz or greater. 
For stations operating on Channels 15-36 and employing a transmitter 
delivering maximum peak visual power output of 1 kW or less, the field 
strength or voltage of the upper and lower sidebands, as radiated or 
dissipated and measured as described in paragraph (a)(2) of this 
section, shall depart from the visual amplitude characteristic (Figure 
5a of Sec.  73.699) by no more than the following amounts:
* * * * *
    (4) The radio frequency signal, as radiated, shall have an envelope 
as would be produced by a modulating signal in conformity with Sec.  
73.682 and Figure 6 or 7 of Sec.  73.699, as modified by vestigial 
sideband operation specified in Figure 5 of Sec.  73.699. For stations 
operating on Channels 15-36 the radio frequency signal as radiated, 
shall have an envelope as would be produced by a modulating signal in 
conformity with Sec.  73.682 and Figure 6 or 7 of Sec.  73.699.
* * * * *
    (e) * * *
    (3) TV broadcast stations operating on Channel 14 must take special 
precautions to avoid interference to adjacent spectrum land mobile 
radio service facilities. Where a TV station is authorized and 
operating prior to the authorization and operation of the land mobile 
facility, a Channel 14 station must attenuate its emissions within the 
frequency range 467 to 470 MHz if necessary to permit reasonable use of 
the adjacent frequencies by land mobile licensees.
    (4) The requirements listed below apply to permittees authorized to 
construct a new station on TV Channel 14, and to licensees authorized 
to change the channel of an existing station to Channel 14, to increase 
effective radiated power (ERP) (including any change in directional 
antenna characteristics that results in an increase in ERP in any 
direction), or to change the transmitting location of an existing 
station.
    (i) For the purposes of this paragraph (e), a protected land mobile 
facility is a receiver that is intended to receive transmissions from 
licensed land mobile stations within the frequency band below 470 MHz, 
and is associated with one or more land mobile stations for which a 
license has been issued by the Commission, or a proper application has 
been received by the Commission prior to the date of the filing of the 
TV construction permit application. However, a land mobile facility 
will not be protected if it is proposed in an application that is 
denied or dismissed and that action is no longer subject to Commission 
review. Further, if the land mobile station is not operating when the 
TV facility commences operation and it does not commence operation 
within the time permitted by its authorization in accordance with part 
90 of this chapter, it will not be protected.

Sec.  73.1690   Modification of transmission systems.

* * * * *
    (b) * * *
    (8) A commercial TV or noncommercial educational TV station 
operating on Channels 14 or a Class A TV station on Channel 14 may 
increase its horizontally or vertically polarized ERP only after the 
grant of a construction permit. A television or Class A television 
station on Channels 15 through 21 within 341 km of a cochannel land 
mobile operation, or 225 km of a first-adjacent channel land mobile 
operation, must also obtain a construction permit before increasing the 
horizontally or vertically polarized ERP (see Sec.  74.709(a) and (b) 
of this chapter for tables of urban areas and corresponding reference

    (3) A directional TV on Channels 2 through 13 or 22 through 36 or a 
directional Class A TV on Channels 2 through 13 or 22 through 36, or a 
directional TV or Class A TV station on Channels 15 through 21 which is 
in excess of 341 km (212 miles) from a cochannel land mobile operation 
or in excess of 225 km (140 miles) from a first-adjacent channel land 
mobile operation (see Sec.  74.709(a) and (b) of this chapter for 
tables of urban areas and reference coordinates of potentially affected 
land mobile operations), may replace a directional TV or Class A TV 
antenna by a license modification application, if the proposed 
horizontal theoretical directional antenna pattern does not exceed the 
licensed horizontal directional antenna pattern at any azimuth and 
where no change in effective radiated power will result. The 
modification of license application on Form 302-TV or Form 302-CA must 
contain all of the data set forth in Sec.  73.685(f) or Sec.  
73.6025(a), as applicable.
    (4) Commercial and noncommercial educational FM stations operating 
on Channels 221 through 300 (except Class D), Class A TV stations 
operating on Channels 2 through 13 and 22 through 36, and TV and Class 
A TV stations operating on Channels 15 through 21 that are in excess of 
341 km (212 miles) from a cochannel land mobile operation or in excess 
of 225 km (140 miles) from a first-adjacent channel land mobile 
operation (see Sec.  74.709(a) and (b) of this chapter for tables of 
urban areas and reference coordinates of potentially affected land 
mobile operations), which operate omnidirectionally, may increase the 
vertically polarized effective radiated power up to the authorized 
horizontally polarized effective radiated power in a license 
modification application. Noncommercial educational FM licensees and 
permittees on Channels 201 through 220, that do not use separate 
antennas mounted at different heights for the horizontally polarized 
ERP and the vertically polarized ERP, and are located in excess of the 
separations from a Channel 6 television station listed in Table A of 
Sec.  73.525(a)(1), may also increase the vertical ERP, up to (but not 
exceeding) the authorized horizontally polarized ERP via a license 
modification application. Program test operations may commence at full 
power pursuant to Sec.  73.1620(a)(1).

16. Section 73.3572 is amended by revising paragraphs (a)(1) and 
(a)(4)(ii) to read as follows:


Sec.  73.3572  Processing of TV broadcast, Class A TV broadcast, low 
power TV, TV translators, and TV booster applications.

    (a) * * *
    (1) In the first group are applications for new stations or major 
changes in the facilities of authorized stations. A major change for TV 
broadcast stations authorized under this part is any change in 
frequency or community of license which is in accord with a present 
allotment contained in the Table of Allotments (Sec.  73.622(j)). Other 
requests for change in frequency or community of license for TV 
broadcast stations must first be submitted in the form of a petition 
for rulemaking to amend the Table of Allotments.
* * * * *
    (4) * * *
    (ii) Provided further, that a low power TV or TV translator or TV 
booster station which is causing or receiving interference or is 
predicted to cause or receive interference to or from an authorized DTV 
station pursuant to Sec.  74.706 of this chapter, or which is located 
within the distances specified in paragraph (a)(4)(iv) of this section 
to the coordinates of co-channel DTV authorizations (or allotment table 
coordinates if there are no authorized facilities at different 
coordinates), may at any time file a displacement relief application 
for a change in output channel, together with any technical 
modifications which are necessary to avoid interference or continue 
serving the station's protected service area. Such an application will 
not be considered as an application for a major change in those 
facilities. Where such an application is mutually exclusive with 
applications for new low power TV, TV translator, or TV booster 
stations, or with other nondisplacement relief applications for 
facilities modifications of Class A TV, low power TV, TV translator, or 
TV booster stations, priority will be afforded to the displacement 
application(s) to the exclusion of other applications.
