the time the Commission’s building is 

closed to the general public and until 

further notice. 

1. On January 13, 2021, the Bureaus 

released an Order terminating the 

proceeding for PS Docket No. 13–42 as 

a result of the signing of the Don’t Break 

Up the T-Band Act (T-Band Act) into 

law as part of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2021. The T-Band 

Act repealed section 6103 of the Middle 

Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 

2012, which mandated the Commission 

reallocate and auction frequencies used 

by public safety eligibles in the 470–512 

MHz spectrum (T-Band Mandate). 

2. The Commission adopted a Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking in June 2020 to 

meet its statutory deadlines and 

directives. Since the T-Band Act 

repealed the T-Band Mandate in its 

entirety, the Bureaus terminated the 

proceeding since there is no longer a 

statutory mandate to reallocate and 

auction frequencies in the T-Band.

changes-hand-delivery-policy. During 

the time the Commission’s building is 

closed to the general public and until 

further notice. 

1. On January 19, 2021, the Bureaus 

released a Public Notice seeking to 

ensure the orderly resumption of 

application and licensing processes in 

the T-Band since the Commission is no 

longer required to reallocate and auction 

certain frequencies in the T-Band after 

the signing of the Don’t Break Up the TBand Act into law as part of the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. 

The Bureaus announced that in the 30 

days immediately following release of 

the Public Notice, they would resume 

processing T-Band applications for 

renewal of license and all other pending 

T-Band applications; but dismiss 

without prejudice any pending 

application that includes a request for 

waiver of the application freeze. 

2. The Bureaus also indicated that 

following the 30-day processing period, 

applicants and frequency coordinators 

will have a 30-day period to prepare and 

begin pre-coordination of certain new 

applications. Immediately thereafter, for 

a ninety-day period, i.e., from March 22, 

2021 until June 21, 2021, the Bureaus 

announced that they will accept certain 

types of applications but only from 

incumbent licensees. 

3. Band applications established in 

the Public Notice are procedural in 

nature, and therefore not subject to the 

notice and comment and effective date 

requirements of the Administrative 

Procedure Act. Moreover, the Bureaus 

found good cause for not delaying the 

effect of the modifications until after 

publication of the Public Notice in the 

Federal Register. The Bureaus indicated 

that such a delay is unnecessary and 

contrary to the public interest because, 

without good reason, it would impede 

timely access to T-Band channels to 

applicants that require new or enhanced 

communications services.
