The Commission adopted and
released a Second Report and Order
(R&O) in FCC 04–167, WT Docket No.
00–230, which set out regulations and
procedures that removed unnecessary
barriers that inhibited the development
of secondary markets in spectrum usage
rights. Specifically, the R&O promoted
the wider use of ‘‘spectrum leasing’’ by
facilitating the ability of licensees in the
Wireless Radio Services that hold
‘‘exclusive’’ authority to lease some or
all of their spectrum usage rights to
third parties for any amount spectrum
and in any geographic area
encompassed by the license, for any
period of time within the terms of the
license. In essence, the Commission has
replaced the existing standard for
assessing de facto control with an
updated standard applicable for
spectrum leasing that better
accommodates evolutionary
developments in the Commission’s
spectrum policies, technological
advances, and marketplace trends. In
the interest of administrative efficiency,
the Commission now has created FCC
Form 608 (formerly FCC Form 603–T)
that pertains specifically to spectrum
PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\06JYN1.SGM
leasing arrangements. We recognize
that, due to the transaction costs
associated with leasing or other market
factors, licensees and other parties may
wish to utilize other types of
arrangements involving opportunistic
use of licensed spectrum. To that end,
we adopt a ‘‘private commons’’ option
distinct from either spectrum leases or
other existing arrangements. The private
commons option may be particularly
well suited to meet the unique needs of
market participants that incorporate
‘‘smart’’ or ‘‘opportunistic’’ use
technologies within their bands.
