FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[GN Docket No. 12–268; MB Docket No. 16– 

306; DA 17–1015] 

Incentive Auction Task Force and 

Media Bureau Announce the Initial 

Reimbursement Allocation for Eligible 

Broadcasters and MVPDs 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In this document the 

Incentive Auction Task Force and the 

Media Bureau of the Federal 

Communications Commission 

(Commission) announce the issuance of 

an initial allocation of the TV 

Broadcaster Relocation Fund (Fund) in 

the amount of $1 billion to begin to 

reimburse eligible television 

broadcasters and multichannel video 

programming distributors (MVPDs), for 

reasonably incurred expenses related to 

the post-incentive auction repacking. 

DATES: November 6, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Raphael Sznajder at (202) 418–1648 or 

Raphael.Sznajder@fcc.gov, or Jeffrey 

Neumann at (202) 418–2046 or 

Jeffrey.Neumann@fcc.gov, of the Media 

Bureau. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Spectrum Act requires the Commission 

to ‘‘reimburse costs reasonably 

incurred’’ by broadcast television 

licensees that are involuntarily 

reassigned to new channels as a result 

of the repacking process and by MVPDs 

in order to continue carrying the signals 

of licensees reassigned to new channels 

as a result of the incentive auction and 

repacking process (together, Eligible 

Entities). The Incentive Auction Report 

and Order (FCC–14–50) set forth the 

process for reimbursing these Eligible 

Entities. Pursuant to the process 

established therein, this Public Notice 

(DA 17–1015) announces an initial 

allocation of approximately $1 billion, 

which is based on the total verified 

demand on the Fund, as of October 10, 

2017. Eligible Entities submitted 

estimates of the expenditures they 

expect to incur as a result of the postauction repack. After the Fund 

Administrator completed its 

reasonableness review of the estimates, 

and the Bureau reviewed and verified 

its recommendations, the total 

reimbursement demand for the purposes 

of the initial allocation, as of October 

10, 2017, was $1,863,971,470.42. Based 

on this demand, the initial allocation 

will give commercial stations and 

MVPDs access to approximately 52 

percent of their currently estimated and 

verified costs, and noncommercial 

educational stations access to 

approximately 62 percent of their 

currently estimated and verified costs. 

This Public Notice also announces that 

each Eligible Entity will receive an 

email on behalf of the Bureau describing 

the specific results of the reasonableness 

review of its estimated costs, which 

included: The aggregate verified amount 

for that entity’s submitted estimate; 

where adjustments (if any) were made; 

and the rationale and amount of the 

modification to any cost estimate line 

items. Eligible Entities may view their 

individual allocations in the CORES 

Incentive Auction Financial Module 

pursuant to the procedures outlined in 

the Financial Procedures Public Notice 

(DA–17–282). The initial allocation does 

not reflect the total estimated cost of a 

station’s anticipated expenditures. All 

stations that are transitioning to new 

channels should be aware of the 

applicable phase transition deadlines 

and plan for and initiate the various 

stages of their construction project in a 

timely manner to satisfy them. We have 

provided several tools that allow us to 

provide relief to stations that are 

ultimately unable to satisfy certain 

deadlines due to circumstances beyond 

their control, but failure to timely 

initiate a construction project or 

undertake necessary steps to complete 

the transition by the phase transition 

date due to the amount of the initial 

allocation or any subsequent allocation 

will not be weighed favorably as a factor 

in considering such relief. This is a 

summary of the FCC’s document GN 

Docket No. 12–268; MB Docket No. 16– 

306; DA 17–1015 (released Oct. 16, 

2017).
