  • NPSTC T-Band Contribution to Incentive Auction Educational Paper
    April 4, 2019 The T-Band Spectrum Contributed to the Incentive Auction Proceeds 1. Executive Summary NPSTC and public safety agencies who rely on the T-Band spectrum have provided clear documentation that relocation out of the public safety T-Band spectrum as required under Section 6103 of Public Law (P.L.) 112-96 would significantly disrupt mission critical public safety voice communications in key major urban areas. A significant number of industrial-business licensees interleaved in the T-Band spectrum would also suffer, even though they are not covered by Section 6103. The loss of auction revenue has been cited in discussions as a potential roadblock to adopting legislation to repeal Section 6103 of P.L. 112-96. However, the T-Band spectrum has been an essential element of the Federal Communications Commission’s 2016- 2017 Incentive Auction, and has already contributed significantly to the $19.8B in proceeds received by providing flexibility to the TV repacking process and reducing the number of TV stations that would otherwise have to be purchased outright. At the conclusion of repacking, the T-Band (470-512 MHz or TV channels 14-20) will support 453 full power and class A TV stations, 231 of which were relocated to the T-Band spectrum to accommodate TV repacking and the incentive auction process. In addition to disrupting public safety operations, failure to repeal Section 6103 of P.L. 112-96 would potentially undermine the TV repacking process and place these TV stations that are already moving at Congress’ and the Commission’s direction at risk.
