In this document, the Commission seeks comment on the extent to which we should clarify or modify our existing rules in order to further promote the deployment by television broadcasters of new, innovative ancillary and supplementary services, which we refer to as ``Broadcast Internet,'' as part of the transition to ATSC 3.0. We first seek comment generally on potential uses of the new technological capability from ATSC 3.0 and any existing regulatory barriers to deployment. We then consider specifically whether any changes or clarifications are needed to the ancillary and supplementary service fee rules and the rules defining derogation of service and analogous services. A Declaratory Ruling relating to the broadcast ancillary and supplementary service rules is published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.

In this document, the Commission adopts rules for broadband license operations in the 897.5-900.5/936.5-939.5 MHz segment of the 900 MHz band (896-901/935-940 MHz). The new rules are necessary because many 900 MHz licensees, including utilities and other industrial users, will require additional coverage and capacity to keep pace with the expanding need for enhanced connectivity. The intended effect of adopting rules for 900 MHz broadband license operations is to address many 900 MHz licensees' current and future needs because broadband can offer next generation services not typically associated with narrowband systems. In this document, the Commission also proposes to modify the 900 MHz nationwide ribbon license held by the Association of American Railroads, which would clear a prominent nationwide incumbent from the new broadband segment and enable significant advancements to railroad safety. The Commission denies a petition for rulemaking requested by the Enterprise Wireless Association. Lastly, the Commission adopts a partial lifting of the 900 MHz application freeze.
