Bill Summary

A BILL To direct the Federal Communications Commission to estab- lish a new Tribal priority window for the 2.5 gigahertz band, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish a new Tribal priority window for the 2.5 gigahertz (GHz) band. This new window would allow Tribal entities to apply for licenses in any portions of the 2.5 GHz band that remain available and for which the FCC did not receive an application during the previous Tribal priority window. The FCC must establish this new window within 30 days of the bill's enactment and accept applications for a period of 180 days or longer, as the FCC deems appropriate. The bill also exempts the FCC from certain procedural requirements, such as the Administrative Procedure Act and the Paperwork Reduction Act, to expedite the establishment of this new Tribal priority window.
