Please find enclosed additional information for purposes of supplementing the record in the above-referenced proceeding addressing the protection of federal incumbent operations in the 5.850-5.925 GHz (5.9 GHz) Band.

NTIA's Office of Spectrum Management (OSM) strongly urges the Commission to issue a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) in the above-referenced proceeding that would propose to reallocate the 3450-3550 MHz band to permit commercial mobile broadband on a shared basis with incumbent federal users.

Pursuant to section 1.401 of the Code of Federal Regulations, in accordance with Executive Order 13925 (E.O. 13925), and through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) respectfully requests that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) initiate a rulemaking to clarify the provisions of section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

NTIA and the Department of Defense (DoD) have worked closely with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as it implements the rules governing Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) in the 3550-3700 MHz (3.5 GHz) band in the above-referenced proceeding. The collaborative approach taken by government and industry to share the 3.5 GHz band has enabled commercial access to this primary mid-band spectrum for 5G deployments.  This letter is to notify you of changes to the protection criteria for eleven designated naval port locations.

NTIA is filing this pleading on behalf of the Committee for the Assessment of Foreign Participation in the United States Telecommunications Services Sector (known informally as Team Telecom), which is composed of the Departments of Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security.

Interested Executive Branch agencies submit this recommendation to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) that it partially deny the Pacific Light Cable Network (PLCN) cable landing license application with respect to PLCN’s connection to Hong Kong and with respect to PLCN’s foreign owners, Hong Kong-based Pacific Light Data Communication Co. Ltd. and China-based ultimate parent entity Dr. Peng Telecom & Media Group Co., Ltd. The Executive Branch recommends that the Commission partially grant the license application for PLCN’s U.S.

The Executive Branch applauds the Commission’s decision to protect the information and communications technology (ICT) supply chain by prohibiting the use of Universal Service Funds (USF) to acquire equipment or services produced or provided by a covered company posing a national security threat to the integrity of U.S.

Pursuant to section 405(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and section 1.106 of the Commission’s rules, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), on behalf of the executive branch, particularly the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Transportation (DoT), respectfully petitions the Commission to reconsider or, in the alternative, to clarify its Order and Authorization in the above-captioned proceedings. NTIA also requests that the Commission rescind its approval of the mobile satellite service (MSS) license modification applicat
