Abstract:
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted the Expanding the Economic and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions Report and Order, FCC 14-50, on May 15, 2014, published at 79 FR 48442 (Aug. 15, 2014). In the Report and Order, the Commission adopts rules to implement the broadcast television spectrum incentive auction. Our central objective in designing this incentive auction is to harness the economics of demand for spectrum in order to allow market forces to determine its highest and best use, which will benefit consumers of telecommunications services. The FCC seeks continued approval for three years from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for some of the information collection requirements that are contained in the Report and Order, FCC 14-50, with this submission to OMB.
