Consistent with the Presidential Memorandum of June 28, 2010, entitled Unleashing the Wireless Broadband Revolution and establishing a goal of making a total of 500 megahertz of Federal and non-Federal spectrum available for wireless broadband use by 2020, not later than December 31, 2020, the Secretary, working through the NTIA, and the Commission shall make available a total of at least 255 megahertz of Federal and non-Federal spectrum below the frequency of 6000 megahertz for mobile and fixed wireless broadband use. The spectrum made available under paragraph
(1)shall be made available to be licensed by the Commission for exclusive use, or made available on a licensed or unlicensed basis for shared use by non-Federal and Federal users, to enable the deployment of wireless broadband services. For purposes of satisfying the requirement under paragraph (1), the following spectrum bands shall not be counted: The band between 1695 and 1710 megahertz. The band between 1755 and 1780 megahertz. The band between 2155 and 2180 megahertz. The band between 3550 and 3700 megahertz. This section shall be carried out in accordance with section 113(j) of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration Organization Act ( 47 U.S.C. 923(j) ). In making spectrum available under this section, the Secretary and Commission shall consider— the need to preserve critical existing and planned Federal Government capabilities; the impact on existing State, local, and tribal government capabilities; the international implications; and the need for appropriate enforcement mechanisms and authorities. Nothing in this section shall be construed— to impair or otherwise affect the functions of the Director of OMB relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals; to require the disclosure of classified information, law enforcement sensitive information, or other information that must be protected in the interest of national security; or to affect any requirement under section 156 of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration Organization Act ( 47 U.S.C. 921 note), as added by section 1062(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000, or any other relevant statutory requirement applicable to the reallocation of Federal spectrum.
