In this document, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) invites interested parties to comment on the 3.7 GHz Transition Preliminary Cost Category Schedule of Potential Expenses and Estimated Costs (Cost Catalog). The Cost Catalog contains preliminary categories and estimates of expenses that incumbents may incur as they clear FSS operations from the 3.7-4.0 GHz portion of the band and Fixed Service operations from the entire 3.7-4.2 GHz band (C-band) to make the lower 280 megahertz available for flexible use. In Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 to 4.2 GHz Band Report and Order, GN Docket No. 18-122, Report and Order and Order of Proposed Modification, FCC 20-22 (Mar. 3, 2020) (Order), the Commission established that new 3.7 GHz Service licensees will reimburse reasonable relocation costs of incumbents to transition out of the band and directed the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) to establish a cost category schedule of the types of expenses that incumbents may incur.
