SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Emerging Telecommunications 
Technologies Act of 1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Federal Government currently reserves for its own 
        use, or has priority of access to, approximately 40 percent of 
        the electromagnetic spectrum that is assigned for use pursuant 
        to the Communications Act of 1934;
            (2) many of such frequencies are underutilized by Federal 
        Government licensees;
            (3) the public interest requires that many of such 
        frequencies be utilized more efficiently by Federal Government 
        and non-Federal licensees;
            (4) additional frequencies are assigned for services that 
        could be obtained more efficiently from commercial providers or 
        other vendors;
            (5) scarcity of assignable frequencies for licensing by the 
        Commission can and will--
                    (A) impede the development and commercialization of 
                new telecommunications products and services;
                    (B) limit the capacity and efficiency of 
                telecommunications systems in the United States;
                    (C) prevent some State and local police, fire, and 
                emergency services from obtaining urgently needed radio 
                channels; and
                    (D) adversely affect the productive capacity and 
                international competitiveness of the United States 
                economy;
            (6) a reassignment of these frequencies can produce 
        significant economic returns;
            (7) a reassignment of Federal Government frequencies can be 
        accomplished without adverse impact on amateur radio licenses 
        that currently share allocations with Federal Government 
        stations;
            (8) current spectrum assignment procedures--comparative 
        hearings and lotteries--can be expensive and time consuming, 
        can strain the limited resources of the Federal Communications 
        Commission, and can result in an inefficient distribution of 
        spectrum and an unjustified windfall to speculators;
            (9) competitive bidding could reduce the cost in time and 
        money--and increase the efficiency--of the spectrum assignment 
        process for certain radio services, discourage speculative 
        applications, encourage the efficient use of spectrum by 
        licensees, and fairly compensate United States taxpayers for 
        use of a scarce public natural resource;
            (10) competitive bidding should be structured to--
                    (A) facilitate introduction of new spectrum-based 
                technologies and services and entry of new companies 
                into the telecommunications market;
                    (B) recognize the legitimate needs of rural 
                telephone companies in providing spectrum-based, common 
                carrier services in rural markets in which they provide 
                telephone exchange service by wire;
                    (C) give appropriate consideration to small 
                businesses and minority-owned businesses that want to 
                participate in the competitive bidding process;
                    (D) recognize the need to make reasonably priced 
                mobile communications services available to businesses 
                in rural areas;
                    (E) recognize the need to ensure that adequate 
                spectrum continues to be available for public safety 
                services; and
                    (F) otherwise further the public interest;
            (11) competitive bidding should apply only to the granting 
        of new spectrum licenses and should not--
                    (A) disrupt the operations of existing spectrum 
                licensees;
                    (B) alter existing spectrum allocation procedures;
                    (C) apply to certain services governed by public 
                interest regulations;
                    (D) diminish the existing authority of the Federal 
                Communications Commission to regulate or reclaim 
                spectrum licenses;
                    (E) prevent or discourage the allocation of 
                spectrum to meet the current or future needs of public 
                safety services; or
                    (F) grant any right to a spectrum licensee 
                different from the rights awarded to licensees who 
                obtain their license through assignment methods other 
                than competitive bidding;
            (12) in appropriating revenues received from competitive 
        bidding, priority should be given to--
                    (A) funding spectrum management, planning, 
                monitoring, and enforcement and other activities of the 
                Federal Communications Commission, the National 
                Telecommunications and Information Administration, and 
                other Federal agencies aimed at increasing the 
                efficiency and effectiveness of spectrum use, 
                facilitating the introduction of new spectrum-based 
                technologies and services, and enhancing the 
                international competitiveness of the United States and 
                the ability of American companies to enter new markets; 
                and
                    (B) extending the reach of public radio and 
                television to underserved areas of the United States 
                and underserved groups of Americans and enhancing the 
                ability of public telecommunications to deliver needed 
                original, high-quality public service programming; and
            (13) because commercial mobile services require a Federal 
        license and the Federal Government is attempting to promote 
        competition for such services, and because providers of such 
        services do not exercise market power vis-a-vis telephone 
        exchange service carriers and State regulation can be a barrier 
        to the development of competition in this market, uniform 
        national policy is necessary and in the public interest.

SEC. 3. NATIONAL SPECTRUM PLANNING.

    (a) Planning Activities.--The Assistant Secretary of Commerce for 
Communications and Information and the Chairman of the Commission shall 
meet, at least biannually, to conduct joint spectrum planning with 
respect to the following issues:
            (1) the future spectrum requirements for public and private 
        uses, including State and local government public safety 
        agencies;
            (2) the spectrum allocation actions necessary to 
        accommodate those uses; and
            (3) actions necessary to promote the efficient use of the 
        spectrum, including spectrum management techniques to promote 
        increased shared use of the spectrum that does not cause 
        harmful interference, as a means of increasing commercial 
        access.
    (b) Report on Planning Activities.--Not later than 24 months after 
the date of enactment of this Act, the Assistant Secretary of Commerce 
for Communications and Information and the Chairman of the Commission 
shall submit a joint report to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of 
the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, 
and Transportation of the Senate on the joint spectrum planning 
activities conducted under subsection (a) and recommendations for 
action developed pursuant to such activities. The report shall contain 
recommendations for the reform of the process of allocating spectrum 
between Federal uses and non-Federal uses.
    (c) Procedures to Ensure Opportunity for Minority-Owned Businesses 
and Small Businesses.--The Commission shall develop procedures to 
ensure that minority-owned businesses and small businesses are given 
the opportunity to provide spectrum-based services. In developing such 
procedures, the Commission shall consider the use of tax certificates 
and bidding preferences.
    (d) Study on Spectrum Needs of Public Safety Agencies.--The 
Commission shall complete and submit to Congress, not later than 18 
months after the date of enactment of this Act, a study of current and 
future spectrum needs of State and local government public safety 
agencies through the year 2010, and a specific plan to satisfy those 
spectrum needs.

SEC. 4. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REALLOCATION OF CERTAIN FREQUENCIES.

    (a) Identification Required.--For purposes of reallocation, the 
Secretary shall identify frequencies that--
            (1) are allocated on a primary basis for Federal Government 
        use;
            (2) are not required for the present or identifiable future 
        needs of the Federal Government;
            (3) can feasibly be made available, as of the date of such 
        identification or at any time during the next 15 years, for use 
        under the Act (other than for Federal Government stations under 
        section 305 of the Act) without resulting in costs to the 
        Federal Government, or loss of services or benefits to the 
        public, that are excessive in relation to the benefits to the 
        public that may be provided by non-Federal licensees; and
            (4) are most likely to have the greatest potential for 
        productive uses and public benefits under the Act if allocated 
        for commercial uses.
    (b) Minimum Amount of Spectrum Recommended.--
            (1) Overall recommendation.--In accordance with the 
        provisions of this section, the Secretary shall recommend for 
        reallocation, for use other than by Federal Government stations 
        under section 305 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 305), at least 200 
        megahertz of frequencies identified under subsection (a) that 
        are located below 5 gigahertz. At least one-half of such 
        frequencies shall be located below 3 gigahertz.
            (2) Mixed uses permitted to be counted.--Among the 
        frequencies recommended under this section for reallocation, 
        the Secretary may include frequencies and frequency bands that 
        are to be partially retained for use by Federal Government 
        stations but that are also recommended to be reallocated under 
        the Act for use by non-Federal stations, except that--
                    (A) such mixed-use frequencies and frequency bands 
                may not count toward more than one-half of the 200 
                megahertz minimum required by paragraph (1);
                    (B) such mixed-use frequencies and frequency bands 
                may not be so counted unless the assignments of the 
                frequencies to Federal Government stations under 
                section 305 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 305) are limited by 
                geographic area, by time, or by other means so as to 
                guarantee that the potential use to be made by such 
                Federal Government stations is substantially less (as 
                measured by geographic area, time, or otherwise) than 
                the potential use to be made by non-Federal stations; 
                and
                    (C) the operational sharing permitted under this 
                paragraph shall be subject to coordination procedures 
                that the Commission and the Secretary shall jointly 
                establish and implement to ensure against harmful 
                interference.
    (c) Consideration of Criteria for Identification.--
            (1) Needs of the federal government.--In determining 
        whether a frequency meets the criteria specified in subsection 
        (a)(2), the Secretary shall--
                    (A) consider whether the frequency is used to 
                provide a communications service that is or could be 
                made available from a commercial carrier or other 
                vendor;
                    (B) seek to promote--
                            (i) the maximum practicable reliance on 
                        commercially available substitutes;
                            (ii) the sharing of frequencies (as 
                        permitted under subsection (b)(2));
                            (iii) the development and use of new 
                        communications technologies; and
                            (iv) the use of nonradiating communications 
                        systems where practicable; and
                    (C) seek to avoid--
                            (i) serious degradation of Federal 
                        Government services and operations;
                            (ii) excessive costs to the Federal 
                        Government and users of Federal Government 
                        services; and
                            (iii) excessive disruption of existing use 
                        of Federal Government frequencies by amateur 
                        radio licensees.
            (2) Feasibility of use.--In determining whether a frequency 
        meets the criteria specified in subsection (a)(3), the 
        Secretary shall--
                    (A) assume that the frequency will be assigned by 
                the Commission under section 303 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 
                303) within 15 years;
                    (B) assume reasonable rates of scientific progress 
                and growth of demand for telecommunications services;
                    (C) seek to include frequencies which can be used 
                to stimulate the development of new technologies; and
                    (D) consider the immediate and recurring costs to 
                reestablish services displaced by the reallocation of 
                spectrum.
            (3) Commercial use.--In determining whether a frequency 
        meets the criteria specified in subsection (a)(4), the 
        Secretary shall consider--
                    (A) the extent to which equipment is available that 
                is capable of utilizing such frequency;
                    (B) the proximity of frequencies that are already 
                assigned for commercial or other non-Federal use;
                    (C) the extent to which, in general, commercial 
                users could share the frequency with amateur radio 
                licensees; and
                    (D) the activities of foreign governments in making 
                frequencies available for experimentation or commercial 
                assignments in order to support their domestic 
                manufacturers of equipment.
            (4) Other uses.--
                    (A) Applicability of criteria.--The criteria 
                specified by subsection (a) shall be deemed not to be 
                met for any purpose under this Act with regard to any 
                frequency assignment to, or any frequency assignment 
                used by, a Federal power agency for the purpose of 
                withdrawing that assignment.
                    (B) Mixed use eligibility.--The frequencies 
                assigned to any Federal power agency may only be 
                eligible for mixed use under subsection (b)(2) in 
                geographically separate areas, but in those cases where 
                a frequency is to be shared by an affected Federal 
                power agency and a non-Federal user, such use by the 
                non-Federal user shall not cause harmful interference 
                to the affected Federal power agency or adversely 
                affect the reliability of its power system.
                    (C) Definition.--As used in this paragraph, the 
                term ``Federal power agency'' means the Tennessee 
                Valley Authority, the Bonneville Power Administration, 
                the Western Area Power Administration, or the 
                Southwestern Power Administration.
    (d) Procedure for Identification of Reallocable Bands of 
Frequencies.--
            (1) Report identifying 30 megahertz for immediate 
        reallocation.--Within 6 months after the date of enactment of 
        this Act, the Secretary shall prepare and submit to the 
        President and the Congress a report that recommends for 
        immediate reallocation no less than 30 megahertz of frequencies 
        identified under subsection (a). None of the frequencies 
        covered by such report may be allocated for mixed use as 
        described in subsection (b)(2). Not less than one-half of such 
        frequencies shall be located below 3 gigahertz.
            (2) Preliminary report on other reallocable frequencies.--
        Within 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
        Secretary shall prepare, make publicly available, and submit to 
        the President and the Congress a preliminary report that 
        recommends for reallocation at least 170 megahertz of 
        frequencies identified under subsection (a), other than those 
        recommended for immediate reallocation under paragraph (1).
            (3) Public comment; changes to report.--The Secretary shall 
        receive public comment on the preliminary report required by 
        paragraph (2) and shall, based upon the comments, make such 
        changes to the report as are warranted to meet the objectives 
        of this section.
            (4) Direct discussions.--The Secretary shall encourage and 
        provide opportunity for direct discussions among commercial 
        representatives and Federal Government users of the spectrum to 
        aid the Secretary in determining which frequencies to recommend 
        for reallocation. The Secretary shall provide notice to the 
        public of any such discussions, including the name or names of 
        any businesses or other persons represented in such 
        discussions, and shall provide the public with an opportunity 
        to comment on the results of any such negotiations prior to the 
        submission of the final report required by paragraph (5).
            (5) Final report on other reallocable frequencies.--Within 
        18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
        Secretary shall prepare and submit to the President and the 
        Congress a final report that recommends the reallocation of at 
        least 170 megahertz of frequencies as described in paragraph 
        (2). Not less than one-half of such frequencies shall be 
        located below 3 gigahertz.
            (6) Limitation on reallocation.--None of the frequencies 
        recommended for reallocation in the reports required by this 
        subsection shall have been recommended, prior to the date of 
        enactment of this Act, for reallocation to non-Federal use by 
        international agreement.
(e) Timetable for Reallocation and Limitation.--The Secretary shall, as 
part of the reports required by paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection 
(d), include a timetable that recommends dates by which the President 
shall withdraw or limit assignments of the frequencies specified in the 
reports. In setting the recommended effective dates, the Secretary 
shall----
            (1) consider the need to reallocate frequencies as early as 
        possible, taking into account the requirements of section 6;
            (2) consider the useful remaining life of equipment that 
        has been purchased or contracted for purchase to operate on 
        identified frequencies;
            (3) consider the need to coordinate frequency use with 
        other nations; and
            (4) take into account the relationship between the costs to 
        the Federal Government of changing to different frequencies and 
        the benefits that may be obtained from commercial and other 
        non-Federal uses of the reassigned frequencies.

SEC. 5. WITHDRAWAL OR LIMITATION OF ASSIGNMENT TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 
              STATIONS.

    (a) In General.--The President shall----
            (1) within 12 months after receipt of the report required 
        by section 4(d)(1), withdraw the assignment to a Federal 
        Government station of any frequency in the frequencies 
        recommended by that report for immediate reallocation;
            (2) by the effective date recommended by the Secretary 
        under section 4(e) (except as provided in subsection (b)(4) of 
        this section), withdraw or limit the assignment to a Federal 
        Government station of any frequency which the report required 
        by section 4(d)(3) recommends be reallocated or made available 
        for mixed use on such recommended effective date;
            (3) assign or reassign other frequencies to Federal 
        Government stations as necessary to adjust to such withdrawal 
        or limitation of assignments; and
            (4) transmit a notice and description to the Commission and 
        each House of Congress of the actions taken under this 
        subsection.
(b) Exceptions.----
            (1) Authority to substitute.--If the President determines 
        that a circumstance described in paragraph (2) exists, the 
        President----
                    (A) may substitute an alternative frequency for the 
                frequency that is subject to such determination and 
                withdraw (or limit) the assignment of that alternative 
                frequency in the manner required by subsection (a); and
                    (B) shall submit a statement of the reasons for 
                taking the action described in subparagraph (A) to the 
                Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of 
                Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, 
                and Transportation of the Senate.
            (2) Grounds for substitution.--Each of the following 
        subparagraphs describes a circumstance referred to in paragraph 
        (1):
                    (A) The reassignment would seriously jeopardize the 
                national defense interests of the United States.
                    (B) The frequency proposed for reassignment is 
                uniquely suited to meeting important governmental 
                needs.
                    (C) The reassignment would seriously jeopardize 
                public health or safety.
                    (D) The reassignment will result in costs to the 
                Federal Government that are excessive in relation to 
                the benefits that may be obtained from commercial or 
                other non-Federal uses of the reassigned frequency.
                    (E) The reassignment will disrupt the existing use 
                of a Federal Government band of frequencies by amateur 
                radio licensees.
            (3) Criteria for substituted frequencies.--For purposes of 
        paragraph (1), a frequency may not be substituted for a 
        frequency identified and recommended under section 4 for 
        reallocation, unless the substituted frequency also meets each 
        of the criteria specified by section 4(a).
            (4) Delays in implementation.--If the President determines 
        that any action cannot be completed by the effective date 
        recommended by the Secretary pursuant to section 4(e), or that 
        such an action by such date would result in a frequency being 
        unused as a consequence of the Commission's plan under section 
        6(b), the President may--
                    (A) withdraw or limit the assignment to Federal 
                Government stations on a later date that is consistent 
                with such plan, except that the President shall notify 
                each Committee specified in paragraph (1)(B) and the 
                Commission of the reason that withdrawal or limitation 
                at a later date is required; or
                    (B) substitute alternative frequencies pursuant to 
                this subsection.
    (c) Costs of Withdrawing Frequencies Assigned to the Federal 
Government.--
            (1) Reimbursement authorized.--Any Federal agency, or non-
        Federal entity operating on behalf of a Federal agency, whose 
        operation is displaced from a frequency pursuant to this 
        section may be reimbursed, from revenues received pursuant to 
        section 8, not more than the incremental costs such agency or 
        entity incurs (in such amounts as are provided in advance in an 
        appropriations Act) that are directly attributable to the 
        displacement from the frequency. The estimates of these costs 
        shall be prepared by the affected agency, in consultation with 
        the Department of Commerce.
            (2) Authorization of appropriations.--There are authorized 
        to be appropriated to the affected Federal agencies such sums 
        as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this 
        subsection.
    (d) Existing Authority Retained.--
            (1) Additional reallocation.--Nothing in this Act prevents 
        or limits additional reallocation of spectrum from the Federal 
        Government to the commercial or other sectors.
            (2) Implementation of new technologies and services.--
        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act--
                    (A) the Secretary may at any time allow frequencies 
                allocated on a primary basis for Federal Government use 
                to be used by non-Federal licensees on a mixed-use 
                basis for the purpose of facilitating the prompt 
                implementation of new technologies or services; and
                    (B) the Commission shall expedite and give priority 
                to the allocation of any frequencies identified 
                pursuant to subparagraph (A), and any associated 
                licensing.

SEC. 6. ALLOCATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF FREQUENCIES BY THE COMMISSION.

    (a) Allocation and Assignment of Immediately Available 
Frequencies.--With respect to the frequencies made available for 
immediate reallocation pursuant to section 5(a)(1), the Commission, not 
later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, shall 
issue rules to allocate such frequencies and shall propose rules to 
assign such frequencies.
    (b) Allocation and Assignment of Remaining Available Frequencies.--
With respect to the frequencies made available for reallocation 
pursuant to section 5(a)(2), the Commission shall, not later than 1 
year after receipt of the final report identified in section 4(d)(4), 
prepare, in consultation with the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for 
Communications and Information, submit to the President and the 
Congress, and implement, a plan for the allocation and assignment under 
the Act of such frequencies. Such plan shall--
            (1) not propose the immediate allocation and assignment of 
        all such frequencies but, taking into account the timetable 
        recommended by the Secretary pursuant to section 4(e), shall 
        propose--
                    (A) gradually to allocate and assign the 
                frequencies remaining, after making the reservation 
                required by subparagraph (B), over the course of 10 
                years beginning on the date of submission of such plan; 
                and
                    (B) to reserve a significant portion of such 
                frequencies for distribution beginning after the end of 
                such 10-year period;
            (2) contain appropriate provisions to ensure the 
        availability of frequencies for (A) new technologies and 
        services in accordance with the policies of section 7 of the 
        Act (47 U.S.C. 157) and (B) the safety of life and property in 
        accordance with the policies of section 1 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 
        151);
            (3) address (A) the feasibility of reallocating portions of 
        the spectrum from current commercial and other non-Federal uses 
        to provide for more efficient use of the spectrum, and (B) 
        innovation and marketplace developments that may affect the 
        relative efficiencies of different spectrum allocations;
            (4) not prevent the Commission from allocating frequencies, 
        and assigning licenses to use frequencies, not included in the 
        plan; and
            (5) not preclude the Commission from making changes to the 
        plan in future proceedings.
    (c) Amendment to the Act.--Section 303 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 303) 
is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(v) Have authority to assign licenses to use the frequencies 
reallocated from United States Government use to non-United States 
Government use pursuant to the Emerging Telecommunications Technologies 
Act of 1993; except that any such assignment shall be made expressly 
subject to the right of the President to reclaim such frequencies under 
section 7 of such Act.''.

SEC. 7. AUTHORITY TO RECLAIM REASSIGNED FREQUENCIES.

    (a) Authority of President.--Subsequent to the withdrawal of 
assignment to Federal Government stations pursuant to section 5, the 
President may reclaim reassigned frequencies for reassignment to 
Federal Government stations in accordance with this section.
    (b) Procedure for Reclaiming Frequencies.--
            (1) Unallocated frequencies.--If the frequencies to be 
        reclaimed have not been allocated or assigned by the Commission 
        pursuant to the Act, the President shall follow the procedures 
        for substitution of frequencies established by section 5(b) of 
        this Act.
            (2) Allocated frequencies.--If the frequencies to be 
        reclaimed have been allocated or assigned by the Commission, 
        the President shall follow the procedures for substitution of 
        frequencies established by section 5(b) of this Act, except 
        that the notification required by section 5(b)(1)(B) shall 
        include--
                    (A) a timetable to accommodate an orderly 
                transition for displaced licensees to obtain new 
                frequencies and equipment necessary for its 
                utilization; and
                    (B) an estimate of the cost of displacing spectrum 
                uses licensed by the Commission.
    (c) Costs of Reclaiming Frequencies; Appropriations Authorized.--
The Federal Government shall bear all costs of reclaiming frequencies 
pursuant to this section, including the cost of equipment which is 
rendered unusable, the cost of relocating operations to a different 
frequency, and any other costs that are directly attributable to the 
reclaiming of the frequency pursuant to this section. There are 
authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry 
out the purposes of this section.
    (d) Effective Date of Reclaimed Frequencies.--The Commission shall 
not withdraw licenses for any reclaimed frequencies until the end of 
the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the President's 
notification is received.
    (e) Effect on Other Law.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to limit or otherwise affect the authority of the President 
under section 706 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 606).

SEC. 8. COMPETITIVE BIDDING.

    (a) Competitive Bidding Test.--
            (1) In general.--
                    (A) Five-year authorization.--The Commission shall, 
                during fiscal years 1994 through 1998, use the 
                competitive bidding process authorized under the 
                amendment made by subsection (b) to grant all radio 
                spectrum licenses for which two or more mutually 
                exclusive applications have been filed, including the 
                200 megahertz of spectrum made available to the 
                Commission under this Act, and including the licenses 
                issued for a personal communications service 
                established pursuant to the proceeding entitled 
                ``Amendment to the Commission's Rules to Establish New 
                Personal Communications Services'', or any successor 
                proceeding, except for those licenses identified in 
                subparagraphs (A) through (E) of section 309(j)(4) of 
                the Act and those licenses that the Commission 
                determines should in the public interest be issued by 
                comparative hearing under section 309(a) through (f) of 
                the Act.
                    (B) Expiration of requirement.--The requirement of 
                subparagraph (A) shall either (i) expire upon a 
                determination by the Secretary of the Treasury that 
                competitive bidding has resulted in or is reasonably 
                expected to result in the receipt of $7,200,000,000 by 
                the end of fiscal year 1998, or (ii) at the end of 
                fiscal year 1998, whichever is earlier.
                    (C) Report to president and congress.--The 
                Commission shall prepare, in consultation with the 
                Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and 
                Information, and submit to the President and the 
                Congress, not later than March 31, 1997, and March 31, 
                1999, reports on the use of competitive bidding under 
                subparagraph (A). Such reports shall examine, in 
                addition to any other matters deemed appropriate by the 
                Commission, whether and to what extent--
                            (i) competitive bidding significantly 
                        improved the efficiency and effectiveness of 
                        the process for granting radio spectrum 
                        licenses;
                            (ii) competitive bidding facilitated the 
                        introduction of new spectrum-based technologies 
                        and the entry of new companies into the 
                        telecommunications market;
                            (iii) the needs of rural spectrum users 
                        were adequately addressed in the competitive 
                        bidding process;
                            (iv) small businesses and minority-owned 
                        businesses were able to participate 
                        successfully in the competitive bidding 
                        process; and
                            (v) statutory changes are needed to improve 
                        the competitive bidding process.
            (2) Retention of revenues.--Notwithstanding paragraph (6) 
        of section 309(j) of the Act, as added by this Act, the 
        salaries and expenses account of the Commission shall retain as 
        an offsetting collection such sums as may be necessary from the 
        receipts received pursuant to such section for the costs of 
        developing and implementing the program required by subsection 
        (a)(1)(A). Such offsetting collections shall be available for 
        obligation subject to the terms and conditions of the receiving 
        appropriations account, and shall be deposited in such accounts 
        on a quarterly basis.
    (b) Competitive Bidding Authorization.--Section 309 of the Act (47 
U.S.C. 309) is amended by adding at the end the following new 
subsection:
    ``(j)(1) Subject to the exemptions and conditions set forth in the 
other provisions of this subsection, if there are two or more mutually 
exclusive applications for any construction permit or initial license 
which will involve any use of the electromagnetic spectrum, the 
Commission shall have authority to use competitive bidding in the 
granting of such construction permit or initial license.
    ``(2)(A) The Commission shall, within 6 months after the date of 
enactment of the Emerging Telecommunications Technologies Act of 1993 
and following public notice and comment proceedings, issue rules 
establishing competitive bidding procedures under this subsection. Such 
rules shall include safeguards to protect the public interest in the 
use of the spectrum and shall ensure the opportunity for successful 
participation by small businesses and minority-owned businesses.
    ``(B)(i) In the rules issued pursuant to subparagraph (A), the 
Commission shall require potential bidders to file a first-stage 
application indicating an intent to participate in the competitive 
bidding process and containing such other information as the Commission 
finds necessary. After conducting the bidding, the Commission shall 
require the winning bidder to file a second-stage application. After 
determining that such application is acceptable for filing and that the 
winning bidder is qualified as described in clause (ii), the Commission 
shall grant the permit or license to the winning bidder.
    ``(ii) No permit or license shall be granted to a winning bidder 
pursuant to clause (i) unless the Commission determines that such 
winning bidder is qualified pursuant to section 308(b) and subsection 
(a) of this section, on the basis of the information contained in the 
first-stage and second-stage applications submitted pursuant to clause 
(i).
    ``(iii) Each participant in the competitive bidding process shall 
be subject to the schedule of charges contained in section 8.
    ``(C) In the rules issued pursuant to subparagraph (A), the 
Commission, in addition to other actions it finds necessary to 
implement competitive bidding fairly and effectively, shall--
            ``(i) establish the method of bidding (including but not 
        limited to sealed bids) and the basis for payment (such as 
        installment or lump sum payments, royalties on future income, a 
        combination thereof, or other reasonable forms of payment 
        specified by the Commission); and
            ``(ii) establish other appropriate conditions on such 
        permits and licenses that serve the public interest.
    ``(3)(A)(i) If the Commission decides to use competitive bidding to 
grant two or more national, regional, or local licenses per market in a 
terrestrial service that will compete with telephone exchange service 
provided by a qualified common carrier, the Commission shall designate 
one such license per market as a rural program license.
    ``(ii) The Commission shall define the geographic boundaries of the 
rural program license to correspond to the geographic area of the 
telephone exchange service by which the qualified common carrier became 
eligible for the rural program license under subparagraph (E)(ii).
    ``(B)(i) Except as provided in subparagraph (D), the Commission 
shall either grant a rural program license to the qualified common 
carrier providing telephone exchange service in the area covered by 
such license, or grant a license to a consortium of such qualified 
carriers.
    ``(ii) No qualified common carrier that receives a rural program 
license shall be eligible to--
            ``(I) receive any other license to provide the same service 
        in such area; or
            ``(II) own any equity interest in, become a creditor of, or 
        otherwise become affiliated with any entity that holds a 
        license to provide the same service in such area.
    ``(iii) Any qualified common carrier that receives a rural program 
license shall (I) provide to all other licensees providing the same 
service in such area the same quality of access to its wire network 
that it provides itself, and (II) shall interconnect its wireless 
service with the wireless service provided by another licensee 
providing the same service on the same frequency in a different 
geographic area. Such other licensee shall provide an equivalent 
interconnection with the wireless service of such rural program 
licensee.
    ``(iv) The Commission may establish other rules or conditions for 
the award of a rural program license, consistent with the intent of 
this paragraph.
    ``(C) Upon the grant of a rural program license to a qualified 
common carrier, such carrier shall pay a fee (in lump sum or 
installment payments, in royalties on future income, in a combination 
thereof, or on any other reasonable basis specified by the Commission) 
equal to the value of such license. The value of such license shall be 
the average of the amounts paid by persons granted licenses through 
competitive bidding to provide the same service in such area, except 
that the Commission shall determine the value of such license by any 
reasonable means when the geographic area served by the rural program 
license is not congruent with the geographic area served by the other 
license or licenses.
    ``(D) If no qualified common carrier applies for a rural program 
license in a particular market and the Commission awards the non-rural 
program licenses through competitive bidding, the rural program shall 
not apply for that particular market and the Commission shall use 
competitive bidding to award the licenses for the former rural program 
areas, either separately or as part of larger license areas.
    ``(E) For purposes of this paragraph--
            ``(i) the term `rural area' means any geographic area that 
        does not include either--
                    ``(I) any incorporated place of 10,000 inhabitants 
                or more, or any part thereof; or
                    ``(II) any territory, incorporated or 
                unincorporated, included in an urbanized area (as 
                defined by the Bureau of the Census as of the date of 
                enactment of the Emerging Telecommunications 
                Technologies Act of 1993); and
            ``(ii) the term `qualified common carrier' means a common 
        carrier that--
                    ``(I) either provides telephone exchange service by 
                wire in a rural area, provides telephone exchange 
                service by wire to less than 10,000 subscribers, or is 
                a telephone utility whose income accrues to a State or 
                political subdivision thereof; and
                    ``(II) submits an application for a rural program 
                license that meets the standards established by the 
                Commission to determine ability to provide the service 
                covered by the license.
    ``(F) The provisions of subparagraph (A)(ii) do not limit the 
Commission's discretion to determine, for licenses issued other than 
under this subsection, the size of any market area or the number of 
licensees for any service.
    ``(4) The competitive bidding authority provided to the Commission 
in paragraph (1) shall not--
            ``(A) because of the need to avoid excessive service 
        disruption, extend to license renewals and modifications;
            ``(B) because of the essential services they provide, 
        extend to licenses reserved for the United States Government 
        and State or local government entities;
            ``(C) because of their public service obligations, extend 
        to licenses to provide amateur operator services, over-the-air 
        terrestrial radio and television broadcast services, public 
        safety services, and radio astronomy services;
            ``(D) because they do not involve mutually exclusive 
        applications, extend to private radio end-user licenses, 
        including Specialized Mobile Radio Service (SMRS), maritime, 
        and aeronautical end-user licenses;
            ``(E) because of the need to avoid excessive service 
        disruption, extend to any license grant to a non-Federal 
        licensee being moved from its current frequency assignment to a 
        different one by the Commission in order to implement the goals 
        and objectives underlying the Emerging Telecommunications 
        Technologies Act of 1993; and
    ``(F) extend to any other service, class of services, or 
assignments that the Commission determines, after conducting public 
notice and comment proceedings, should be exempt from competitive 
bidding because of public interest factors warranting an exemption to 
the extent the Commission determines the use of competitive bidding 
would jeopardize appropriate treatment of those factors.
    ``(5) No provision of this subsection or of the Emerging 
Telecommunications Technologies Act of 1993 shall be construed, in any 
way, to--
            ``(A) alter spectrum allocation criteria and procedures 
        established by the other provisions of this Act;
            ``(B) allow the Commission to consider potential revenues 
        from competitive bidding when making decisions concerning 
        spectrum allocation;
            ``(C) diminish the authority of the Commission under the 
        other provisions of this Act to regulate or reclaim spectrum 
        licenses;
            ``(D) grant any right to a spectrum licensee different from 
        the rights awarded to licensees who obtained their license 
        through assignment methods other than competitive bidding; or
            ``(E) prevent the Commission from awarding licenses to 
        those persons who make significant contributions to the 
        development of a new telecommunications service or technology.
    ``(6) Moneys received from competitive bidding pursuant to this 
subsection shall be deposited in the general fund of the Treasury. A 
license or permit issued by the Commission under this subsection shall 
not be treated as the property of the licensee for property tax 
purposes, or other similar tax purposes, by any State or local 
government entity.''.

SEC. 9. REGULATORY PARITY.

    (a) Amendment.--Section 332 of the Act (47 U.S.C. 332) is amended--
            (1) by striking ``PRIVATE LAND'' from the heading of the 
        section; and
            (2) by amending subsection (c) to read as follows:
    ``(c)(1)(A) A person engaged in the provision of commercial mobile 
services shall, insofar as such person is so engaged, be treated as a 
common carrier for purposes of this Act, except that the Commission may 
waive the requirements of sections 203, 204, 205, and 214, and the 30-
day notice provision of section 309(a), for commercial mobile services 
and such other provisions of title II as the Commission may, consistent 
with the public interest, specify by rule. In prescribing any such 
rule, the Commission may not waive for commercial mobile services the 
requirements of section 201, 202, 206, 208, 209, 215(c), 216, 217, 
220(d) or (e), 223, 225, 226(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), or (i), 
227, or 228, or any other provision that is necessary in order to 
ensure that the charges, practices, classifications, or regulations for 
or in connection with commercial mobile services are just and 
reasonable and are not unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory or that 
is otherwise in the public interest.
    ``(B) Upon reasonable request of any person providing commercial 
mobile service, the Commission shall order a common carrier to 
establish physical connections with such service pursuant to section 
201. Except to the extent that the Commission is required to respond to 
such a request, this subparagraph shall not be construed as a 
limitation or expansion of the Commission's authority to order 
interconnection under this Act.
    ``(2) A person engaged in private land mobile service shall not, 
insofar as such person is so engaged, be treated as a common carrier 
for any purpose under this Act. A common carrier shall not provide any 
dispatch service on any frequency allocated for common carrier service, 
except to the extent such dispatch service is provided on stations 
licensed in the domestic public land mobile radio service before 
January 1, 1982. The Commission may by regulation terminate, in whole 
or in part, the prohibition contained in the preceding sentence if the 
Commission determines that such termination will serve the public 
interest.
    ``(3)(A) Notwithstanding sections 2(b) and 221(b), in any State in 
which three or more providers of commercial mobile voice services are 
licensed by the Commission and make such services available in the same 
geographic area anywhere in the State, no State or local government 
shall have any authority to regulate the entry of or the rates charged 
by any commercial mobile service or any private land mobile service, 
except that this paragraph shall not prohibit a State from regulating 
the other terms and conditions of commercial mobile services. Nothing 
in this subparagraph shall exempt providers of commercial mobile 
services (where such services are a substitute for land line telephone 
exchange service for a substantial portion of the communications within 
such State) from requirements imposed by a State commission on all 
providers of telecommunications services necessary to ensure the 
continued availability of telephone exchange service at affordable 
rates.
    ``(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), a State may petition the 
Commission for authority to regulate the rates for any commercial 
mobile service if such State demonstrates that (i) such service is a 
substitute for land line telephone exchange service for a substantial 
portion of the communications within such State, or (ii) market 
conditions with respect to such services fail to protect subscribers 
adequately from unjust and unreasonable rates or rates that are 
unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory. The Commission shall provide 
reasonable opportunity for public comment in response to such petition, 
and shall, within 9 months after the date of its submission, grant or 
deny such petition. If the Commission grants such petition, the 
Commission shall authorize the State to exercise under State law such 
authority over rates, for such periods of time, as the Commission deems 
necessary to ensure that such rates are just and reasonable and not 
unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory.
    ``(4) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to alter or 
affect the regulatory treatment required by title IV of the 
Communications Satellite Act of 1962 of the corporation authorized by 
title III of such Act.
    ``(5) The Commission shall determine whether the provision of space 
segment capacity by satellite systems to providers of commercial mobile 
services shall be treated as common carriage.
    ``(6) For purposes of this section--
            ``(A) the term `commercial mobile service' means any mobile 
        service (as defined in section 3(n)) that is provided for 
        profit and makes interconnected service available (i) to the 
        public or (ii) to such broad classes of eligible users as to be 
        effectively available to a substantial portion of the public;
            ``(B) the term `interconnected service' means service that 
        is interconnected with the public switched network (as such 
        term is defined by regulation by the Commission) or service for 
        which interconnection pursuant to paragraph (1)(B) is pending; 
        and
            ``(C) the term `private land mobile service' means any 
        mobile service (as defined in section 3(n)) that is not a 
        commercial mobile service under subparagraph (A).''.
    (b) Conforming Amendments.--
            (1) Definition of mobile service.--Section 3 of the Act (47 
        U.S.C. 153) is amended--
                    (A) in subsection (n)--
                            (i) by inserting ``(1)'' immediately after 
                        ``and includes''; and
                            (ii) by inserting immediately before the 
                        period at the end the following: ``, (2) a 
                        mobile service which provides a regularly 
                        interacting group of base, mobile, portable, 
                        and associated control and relay stations 
                        (whether licensed on an individual, 
                        cooperative, or multiple basis) for private 
                        one-way or two-way land mobile radio 
                        communications by eligible users over 
                        designated areas of operation, and (3) any 
                        service for which a license is required in a

                        to the Commission's Rules to Establish New 
                        Personal Communications Services' (GEN Docket 
                        No. 90-314; ET Docket No. 92-100), or any 
                        successor proceeding; but such term does not 
                        include any rural radio service as defined by 
                        the Commission and does not include the 
                        provision, by a local exchange carrier, of 
                        telephone exchange service by radio instead of 
                        by wire''; and
                    (B) by striking subsection (gg).
            (2) Regulation of intrastate communications.--Section 2(b) 
        of the Act (47 U.S.C. 152(b)) is amended by inserting ``and 
        section 332'' immediately after ``inclusive,''.
    (c) Rulemaking Schedule; Effective Date.--
            (1) Rulemaking required.--Within 1 year after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Commission shall--
                    (A) issue such modifications or terminations of its 
                regulations concerning private land mobile services as 
                are necessary to implement the amendments made by 
                subsection (a);
                    (B) make such other modifications of such 
                regulations as may be necessary to promote parity in 
                the regulatory treatment of providers of all commercial 
                mobile services that offer services that are 
                substantially similar; and
                    (C) include in such modifications and terminations 
                such provisions as are necessary to provide for an 
                orderly transition to the regulatory treatment required 
                by such amendments.
            (2) Effective date.--The amendments made by subsection (a) 
        shall be effective 1 year after such date of enactment, except 
        that--
                    (A) section 332(c)(1)(A), as added by such 
                amendments, shall take effect upon such date of 
                enactment; and
                    (B) any person that provides private land mobile 
                services before such date of enactment shall continue 
                to be treated as a provider of private land mobile 
                service (other than for purposes of determining the 
                number of providers of commercial mobile services under 
                section 332(c)(3)(A)) until 3 years after such date of 
                enactment.

SEC. 10. DEADLINES FOR PCS ORDERS AND LICENSING.

    The Commission shall--
            (1) within 180 days after the date of enactment of this 
        Act, issue a final report and order (A) in the matter entitled 
        ``Redevelopment of Spectrum to Encourage Innovation in the Use 
        of New Telecommunications Technologies'' (ET Docket No. 92-9); 
        and (B) in the matter entitled ``Amendment of the Commission's
