SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a

1. With this Public Notice, the 

Wireless Telecommunications Bureau 

(WTB or Bureau) adopts two final 

reimbursement claims submission 

deadlines by which eligible incumbents 

and other eligible stakeholders are 

required to submit any outstanding 

transition-related claims to the C-band 

Relocation Payment Clearinghouse 

(RPC) for processing as part of the 

ongoing transition of the 3.7–4.2 GHz

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 239 / Thursday, December 14, 2023 / Notices 86645 

band (C-band). On October 13, 2023, the 

Bureau issued a Public Notice seeking 

comment on certain proposals advanced 

by the RPC, AT&T, Verizon, and SES 

relating to the conclusion of the C-band 

transition reimbursement program and 

wind down of the RPC’s operations. 

After review of the record, WTB adopts: 

(1) February 5, 2024, as the submission 

deadline to the RPC for all 

reimbursement claims for costs incurred 

and paid by claimants as of December 

31, 2023, including all lump sum 

election claims by incumbent earth 

station operators; and (2) July 1, 2024, 

as the submission deadline to the RPC 

for all reimbursement claims for costs 

incurred and paid by claimants after 

December 31, 2023. WTB defers action 

on other proposals as detailed below. 

2. For the small number of anticipated 

claims that may be incurred and/or paid 

after July 1, 2024, whether a one-time or 

recurring cost, to be considered for 

reimbursement, the claimant must 

submit the claim(s) for RPC review 

through its Coupa portal and pursuant 

to its procedures before the July 1, 2024 

deadline with the best supporting 

documentation and information 

available at that time. The Bureau 

directs the RPC and relevant claimants 

to coordinate in advance of the 

submission of such claims and, as 

appropriate, on a process and timeline 

for submitting any additional 

documentation that the RPC may deem 

necessary to evaluate the eligibility of 

such claims and safeguard against fraud, 

waste, or abuse. The Bureau strongly 

cautions claimants that all 

reimbursement claims, including the 

submission of any anticipated claims 

that have not been incurred and paid 

prior to July 1, 2024, remain subject to 

the RPC’s review and approval, 

consistent with its delineated 

responsibilities and the standards 

articulated in the 3.7 GHz Report and 

Order, and that no inferences are 

intended nor should be taken about the 

eligibility of any claims for 

reimbursement as part of the C-band 

transition reimbursement program by 

virtue of their submission for RPC 

review. The Bureau also cautions 

claimants that the submission of 

anticipated claims in this manner 

should not be viewed or used as a 

means to circumvent the finality of the 

final claims submission deadlines. 

Anticipated claims submitted through 

these means should be as specific in 

nature as possible and not open-ended, 

and claimants must still demonstrate 

that such claims meet the eligibility 

criteria established by the Commission 

in the 3.7 GHz Report and Order in 

order to be reimbursed. That said, WTB 

believes that there is sufficient latitude 

as part of the normal discourse between 

the RPC and claimants in the claims 

review process, and as part of our 

appeals process, to allow for 

subsequently amended claims in 

appropriate circumstances where an 

initial claim was timely filed. 

3. In addition, given that the RPC 

must complete its review of any such 

claims in the first instance, the Bureau 

believes that a waiver of sections 

27.1415 or 27.1418(b)(2) of the 

Commission’s rules, as suggested by 

Intelsat, is not necessary for any 

anticipated claims to be submitted to 

the RPC for review, nor would it be 

appropriate at this time as we decline to 

prejudge the merits of any individual 

future claims, particularly in the 

absence of any specific factual record on 

such claims before us at this juncture. 

To the extent that the relevant claimant 

and/or any 3.7 GHz Service Licensee(s) 

disagree with the RPC’s initial 

determination on whether such claims 

are reimbursable, they may seek 

recourse from the RPC and the Bureau 

pursuant to our existing appeals 

procedures. 

4. The Bureau reminds all C-band 

transition claimants and other eligible 

stakeholders must submit all 

reimbursement claims to the RPC, 

including for lump sum elections, by 

the relevant deadline as set forth above. 

So long as a reimbursement claim is 

submitted to the RPC through its Coupa 

portal and pursuant to its procedures 

and our above guidance by the relevant 

deadline, even if the RPC later finds 

upon review that additional information 

is needed from the claimant in order to 

process the claim, a claimant’s 

submission of a claim through Coupa 

and pursuant to the RPC’s procedures 

and our above guidance is sufficient to 

meet our deadline requirement. The 

Bureau directs the RPC to consider any 

claims which are not submitted in this 

manner by the relevant deadline as 

untimely, and the RPC need not process 

or reimburse such claims. To the extent 

there is any question about which 

claims submission deadline is the 

relevant one for any given 

reimbursement claim, the RPC will 

make the initial determination, subject 

to Bureau review on appeal pursuant to 

our established procedures. 

5. In their ex parte, AT&T and 

Verizon requested that the Commission 

adopt certain deadlines to facilitate the 

conclusion of the C-band transition 

reimbursement process. The Bureau 

agrees that AT&T’s and Verizon’s 

proposals that the Commission specify 

when the RPC should issue a final 

funding request, set a deadline for the 

RPC to process all claims, and set a 

deadline for the RPC to finish its 

program audit are premature and, 

accordingly, the Bureau declines to 

make a determination on these 

proposals at this time. The Bureau 

likewise defers action on either a 

general or specific deadline by which 

the RPC must process individual 

reimbursement claims. 

6. While WTB does not believe that 

adoption of either a general or specific 

deadline for RPC processing is 

appropriate at this time, and could 

inadvertently delay the review process 

to the extent the Bureau was called to 

resolve any timing disputes, WTB 

directs the RPC to continue 

expeditiously processing both pending 

and future reimbursement claims upon 

receipt of all required information from 

claimants, while maintaining all 

necessary safeguards to prevent fraud, 

waste, and abuse. The RPC should 

prioritize the processing of any residual 

pending claims submitted prior to the 

release of this Public Notice with the 

goal of resolution by March 30, 2024, 

and strive to resolve any later submitted 

claims within 90 days from submission. 

By the same token, claimants are 

instructed to ensure that their claims are 

timely submitted to the RPC with all 

required documentation, and to 

promptly respond to the RPC’s requests 

for supplemental information, which in 

most cases should be no later than 30 

days from any such request. To the 

extent that the claimant is not 

responsive to the RPC’s requests for 

supplemental information in a timely 

manner, the RPC may process related 

claims on the basis of the information 

previously submitted by such claimant. 

7. Finally, WTB declines to require 

any specific process measures that may 

unnecessarily limit the RPC in its ability 

to initially review claims or its duty to 

prevent fraud, waste, or abuse. WTB 

also clarifies that nothing in this Public 

Notice is intended to limit the RPC’s 

ability to perform any necessary tasks to 

either: (1) recoup appropriate costs for 

the benefit of the C-band transition 

reimbursement program and the 3.7 

GHz Service Licensees, such as through 

the sale of unused satellites; (2) as 

appropriate, perform true-ups, offsets, or 

other accounting practices relating to 

previously reimbursed claims based 

upon subsequent developments; and (3) 

evaluate and reconcile the 2% cap on 

soft costs as the reimbursement program 

winds down. The Bureau will continue 

to oversee the RPC’s progress with a 

view towards facilitating the timely 

conclusion of the C-band transition 

reimbursement program and wind down
