Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Opens a New Docket and Establishes the Process for C-Band Space Station Operator Phase I Certification of Accelerated Relocation

In this document, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB or Bureau) prescribes the form by which eligible C-band space station operators should submit Phase I Certifications of Accelerated Relocation (Certifications) and establishes the process by which stakeholders can file related challenges to those Certifications. 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) (3.7 GHz Report and Order), required that, in order to be eligible for an Accelerated Relocation Payment (ARP), an eligible space station operator must file a Certification "demonstrating, in good faith, that it has completed the necessary clearing actions to satisfy each deadline." An eligible space station operator is required to complete its obligations and then file a Certification by the applicable Accelerated Relocation Deadline, which for Phase I is December 5, 2021. Certifications should be filed both in GN Docket No. 18-122 and in GN Docket No. 21-320; stakeholders should file any related challenges in GN Docket No. 21-320.

Protecting Against National Security Threats to the Communications Supply Chain Through the Equipment Authorization Program

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) takes further steps to strengthen its equipment authorization program against national security risks to the communications supply chain. The Commission closes a component-part loophole by prohibiting authorization of devices that incorporate logic-bearing hardware components produced by an entity identified on the Commission's Covered List, where the device would itself be prohibited from authorization had the Covered List entity produced the entire device. The Commission also requires that any modification or permissive change to equipment by an entity identified on the Covered List undergo full certification, clarifies that its marketing rules reach any entity (including online marketplaces) that markets unauthorized equipment, and requires online marketplaces, subject to limited exceptions, to display a device's FCC ID at the online point of sale. Finally, the Commission amends its definition of "critical infrastructure," as used on the Covered List, and corrects two administrative errors in its rules.
