Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, including an opportunity for public comment, the Commission, in collaboration with the NTIA, shall— conduct a bidirectional sharing study to determine the best means of providing Federal entities flexible access to non-Federal spectrum on a shared basis across a range of short-, mid-, and long-range timeframes, including for intermittent purposes like emergency use; and submit to Congress a report on the study under paragraph (1), including any recommendations for legislation or proposed regulations.
In conducting the study under subsection (a), the Commission shall consider how to balance the regulatory certainty that commercial spectrum users and Federal entities need to make longer-term investment decisions for shared access to be viable.
