Implementation of the Commission's Incremental Reduction Plan for Phase I Accelerated Relocation Payments

In this document, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB or Bureau) announces its implementation of the Commission's incremental reduction plan for Phase I Accelerated Relocation Payments (ARP) relating to the ongoing transition of the 3.7 GHz band. On August 4, 2021, as directed by the Commission in the Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 to 4.2 GHz Band, Report and Order and Proposed Modification (3.7 GHz Report and Order), WTB issued a Public Notice (PN) to seek comment on its proposed approach for calculating an incremental reduction for an eligible space station operator's ARP due to its failure to meet the Phase I Accelerated Relocation Deadline. After reviewing the record, the Bureau adopts the proposals outlined in the Phase I Incremental Reduction Comment PN with some clarifications.
