FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 1

[WT Docket No. 19-38; FCC 22-53; FR ID 201127]


Partitioning, Disaggregation, and Leasing of Spectrum; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission is correcting a final 
rule that appeared in the Federal Register on September 20, 2022. The 
document modified partitioning, disaggregation, and leasing rules to 
provide specific incentives for small carriers and Tribal Nations, and 
entities in rural areas, to voluntarily participate in the Enhanced 
Competition Incentive Program (ECIP). The ECIP proceeding is in 
response to Congressional direction in the Making Opportunities for 
Broadband Investment and Limiting Excessive and Needless Obstacles to 
Wireless Act (MOBILE NOW Act) to consider steps to increase the 
diversity of spectrum access and the availability of advanced 
telecommunications services in rural areas. The ECIP will promote 
greater competition in the provision of wireless services, facilitate 
increased availability of advanced wireless services in rural areas, 
facilitate new opportunities for small carriers and Tribal Nations to 
increase access to spectrum, and bring more advanced wireless service 
including 5G to underserved communities.

DATES: This correction is effective February 15, 2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephanie Asous, 
[email protected], Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, Mobility 
Division, (202) 418-2155.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The general effective date for the final 
rule published September 20, 2022, at 87 FR 57403, which included the 
addition of 47 CFR 1.60001 through 1.60007, was October 20, 2022. 
Sections 1.60001 through 1.60007 were delayed indefinitely, and the 
Commission stated

[[Page 11743]]

in that rule it would publish a document in the Federal Register 
announcing the effective date. The document announcing the effective 
date is published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.
