relocation and sharing costs</header><text>For purposes of this subsection, the
terms <quote>relocation costs</quote> and <quote>sharing costs</quote> mean the
costs incurred by a Federal entity to plan for a potential or planned auction
or sharing of spectrum frequencies and to achieve comparable capability of
systems, regardless of whether that capability is achieved by relocating to a
new frequency assignment, relocating a Federal Government station to a
different geographic location, modifying Federal Government equipment to
mitigate interference or use less spectrum, in terms of bandwidth, geography,
or time, and thereby permitting spectrum sharing (including sharing among
relocated Federal entities and incumbents to make spectrum available for
non-Federal use) or relocation, or by utilizing an alternative technology.
Comparable capability of systems includes the acquisition of state-of-the art
replacement systems intended to meet comparable operational scope, which may
include incidental increases in functionality. Such costs include—</text>
<subparagraph id="idEA5D1501518D4DFEB8DADF5B54ED1969"><enum>(A)</enum><text>the costs of any
modification or replacement of equipment, spares, associated ancillary
