Part A of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration Organization Act ( 47 U.S.C. 901 et seq. ) is amended— by redesignating section 105 ( 47 U.S.C. 904 ) as section 106; and by inserting after section 104 ( 47 U.S.C. 903 ) the following: In this section— the term covered band means the band of frequencies between 3 kilohertz and 95 gigahertz; the term Federal entity has the meaning given the term in section 113(l); and the term OMB means the Office of Management and Budget.
The NTIA, in consultation with the Commission and OMB, shall estimate the value of electromagnetic spectrum in the covered band that is assigned or otherwise allocated to each Federal entity as of the date of the estimate, in accordance with the schedule under subsection (c). The NTIA shall conduct the estimates under subsection
(b)for the frequencies between— 3 kilohertz and 33 gigahertz not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this section, and every 3 years thereafter; 33 gigahertz and 66 gigahertz not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this section, and every 3 years thereafter; and 66 gigahertz and 95 gigahertz not later than 3 years after the date of enactment of this section, and every 3 years thereafter. The NTIA shall base each value estimate under subsection
(b)on the value that the electromagnetic spectrum would have if the spectrum were reallocated for the use with the highest potential value of licensed or unlicensed commercial wireless services that do not have access to that spectrum as of the date of the estimate. In estimating the value of spectrum under subsection (b), the NTIA may consider the spectrum needs of commercial interests while preserving the spectrum access necessary to satisfy mission requirements and operations of Federal entities. To the greatest extent practicable, the NTIA shall incorporate dynamic scoring methodology into the value estimate under subsection (b). Subject to subparagraph (B), the NTIA shall publicly disclose how the NTIA arrived at each value estimate under subsection (b), including any findings made under paragraph
(2)of this subsection. If any information involved in a value estimate under subsection (b), including any finding made under paragraph
(2)of this subsection, is classified, law enforcement-sensitive, or proprietary, the NTIA— may not publicly disclose the classified, law enforcement-sensitive, or proprietary information; and shall make the classified, law enforcement-sensitive, or proprietary information available to any Member of Congress, upon request, in a classified annex. A Federal entity that has been assigned or otherwise allocated use of electromagnetic spectrum within the covered band shall report the value of the spectrum as most recently estimated under subsection (b)— in the budget of the Federal entity to be included in the budget of the United States Government submitted by the President under section 1105 of title 31, United States Code; and in the annual financial statement of the Federal entity required to be filed under section 3515 of title 31, United States Code. . Section 103(b) of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration Organization Act ( 47 U.S.C. 902(b) ) is amended— in paragraph (1), by striking section 105(d) and inserting section 106(d) ; and in paragraph (2), in the matter preceding subparagraph (A), by striking section 105(d) and inserting section 106(d) .
