Abstract:
On April 17, 2015, the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission" or "FCC") adopted a Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 15-47, GN Docket No. 12-354 (Report and Order) that establishes rules for commercial use of 150 megahertz in the 3550-3700 MHz (3.5 GHz) band and creates a new Citizens Broadband Radio Service. The rules will create additional capacity for wireless broadband by adopting a new approach to spectrum management to facilitate more intensive spectrum sharing between commercial and federal users and among multiple tiers of commercial users. The Commission is submitting a non-substantive change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Please see the change request justification for the reason behind the change request submission to OMB.
