Procedures for Commission Review of State Opt-Out Request From the FirstNet Radio Access Network
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) deletes those rules that it previously adopted to implement the ``opt-out'' provisions of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Act). This is because the Act established the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) to oversee the construction and operation of a nationwide public safety broadband network (NPSBN) in the 700 MHz band; gives each state and territory the option to ``opt out'' of using FirstNet's deployment; and no state or territory chose to exercise this option within the statutory timeframe.
