113 S2155 IS: Maximizing Spectrum Efficiency and Value Act of 2014
U.S. Senate

		II
		113th CONGRESS
		2d Session
		S. 2155
		IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

			March 25, 2014
			Mr. Kirk introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation

		A BILL
		To amend the National Telecommunications and Information Administration Organization Act to create
			 a Federal Spectrum Reallocation Commission, to provide for the use of a
			 portion of the proceeds from the auction of reallocated Federal spectrum
			 for deficit reduction, and for other purposes.

			1.
			Short title
			This Act may be cited as the
			 Maximizing Spectrum Efficiency and Value Act of 2014.

			2.
			Findings
			Congress finds the following:

				(1)
				Demand for
			 electromagnetic spectrum is sharply rising due to the growing advanced
			 network
			 of communications devices that rely on spectrum to transmit and receive
			 information.

				(2)
				It is necessary
			 for the United States to maintain its investments in innovation of
			 spectrum and
			 broadband infrastructure to ensure the United States is a global leader in
			 the
			 wireless age.

				(3)
				Spectrum is a
			 finite resource, and in order to spur innovation, the United States must
			 provide for better and more efficient spectrum management.

				(4)
				Many spectrum
			 holders do not efficiently use their frequency assignments, and a
			 restructuring
			 of the usable spectrum is a viable solution to make up for this lost
			 opportunity.

				(5)
				Making available
			 additional spectrum to meet the demands of broadband technologies and
			 services
			 will prevent dropped connections, blocked service, decreased connection
			 speed,
			 and even higher prices for certain advanced applications.

				(6)
				The availability
			 of increased spectrum will allow advanced technologies such as 4G mobile
			 services, high-speed wireless, high definition television, and more to
			 continue
			 operating without network problems and interference.

				(7)
				The United States
			 public debt totals not less than $14,300,000,000,000.

				(8)
				Congress should
			 look for ways to increase Federal Government revenues without creating
			 additional
			 burdens on taxpayers.

				(9)
				Auctioning
			 spectrum is the most economically sound method for accurate valuation and
			 assignment of spectrum to develop the next generation of wireless
			 technologies,
			 expand broadband service to underserved areas of the country, develop an
			 interoperable public safety network, and reduce the deficit.

				(10)
				Certain
			 frequencies of spectrum have substantial market value and could raise
			 significant new revenue in a public auction.

				(11)
				Barriers to a spectrum auction such as
			 regulatory and administrative delays are not conducive to the free-market
			 approach and can hurt innovation.

				(12)
				Federal Government
			 spectrum, while extremely important, is vast and should be included in any
			 spectrum reform initiative.

			3.
			Federal Spectrum
			 Reallocation Commission

				(a)
				In
			 general
				Part B of title I of the National Telecommunications and
			 Information Administration Organization Act (47 U.S.C. 921 et seq.) is

				under any other provision of law or administrative process, but
			 with respect to
				relocation from which the Federal entity being relocated has not

			 spectrum
				allocated for Federal use that may be recommended for reallocation
			 by the
				Secretary, the Reallocation Commission, or the President under this
