Summary

In this document, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau), in cooperation with the Office of Economics and Analytics (OEA), on behalf of the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC), seeks comment on the next steps toward implementing the procedures to reconfigure the 39 GHz band in preparation for the incentive auction that will offer new flexible use licenses in the Upper 37 GHz, 39 GHz, and 47 GHz bands. In this document, the Bureau also temporarily freezes processing of future applications for transfers and assignments of 39 GHz licenses in order to facilitate the reconfiguration process and acts pursuant to section 316 to modify incumbents' 39 GHz licenses in accordance with the Commission's proposed order of modification.
