ORDER
Adopted:  June 17, 2008 Released:  June 17, 2008
By the Associate Chief, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau:
I. INTRODUCTION
1. In this order, by delegated authority, we act on multiple requests by 800 MHz public 
safety licensees in Wave 31 for interim waiver of the June 26, 2008 deadline to allow the completion of 
rebanding planning, negotiation of Frequency Reconfiguration Agreements (FRAs), and the submission 
of final proposed rebanding schedules to the Commission.2 We grant these interim requests to the extent 
set forth below, conditioned on each licensee, if necessary, filing a supplemental waiver request by the 
date specified for the licensee in Appendix A of this order that includes a proposed implementation 
timetable.3
II. BACKGROUND
2. In the 800 MHz Report and Order and subsequent orders in this proceeding, the 
Commission ordered the rebanding of the 800 MHz band to resolve interference between commercial and 
public safety systems in the band.4  These orders mandate that 800 MHz licensees in non-border areas 
  
1 Wave 3 includes the following NPSPAC Regions: Region 1 (Alabama), Region  9 (Florida), Region 10 (Georgia), 
Region 18 (Louisiana), Region 23 (Mississippi), Region 31 (North Carolina), Region 37 (South Carolina), Region 
47 (Puerto Rico) and Region 48 (US Virgin Islands).  A list of all NPSPAC regions and their corresponding 
geographic areas can be found at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Wireless/Orders/1998/fcc98191.txt.  We will address 
waiver requests from Region 47 separately.  We note that no NPSPAC licensee in Region 48 filed an interim waiver 
request.
2 Waiver requests by Wave 3 licensees who have completed FRA negotiations and submitted proposed rebanding 
schedules will be addressed in a separate order.   We also hold in abeyance the interim request of High Point, North
Carolina, pending resolution of a related cost dispute involving High Point that is currently pending before the 
Bureau.  We also hold in abeyance the waiver request of Calhoun County, Alabama with respect to its tone alert 
system, which we will address separately.
3 On May 1, 2008, Sprint Nextel Corporation (Sprint) filed a request for waiver to remain temporarily on Channel 1-
120 channels that are designated for assignment to NPSPAC licensees that receive waivers of the June 26, 2008 
deadline.  Request for Waiver by Sprint Nextel Corporation, filed May 1, 2008.  We will address Sprint’s waiver 
request separately.

Report and Order, Fourth Memorandum Opinion and Order, and Order, 19 FCC Rcd 14969 (2004) (800 MHz 
Report and Order); Supplemental Order and Order on Reconsideration, 19 FCC Rcd 25120 (2004) (800 MHz

must complete their rebanding by June 26, 2008.5 However, the Commission has also established a 
waiver process for licensees that are unable to complete rebanding by the deadline, and has delegated 
authority to the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) to act on such waiver requests.6
3. On January 17, 2008, the Commission released a Public Notice that established 
procedures and provided guidance for submission of requests to waive the deadline.7 The Commission 
recommended that licensees seeking waivers provide the Commission with a proposed timetable for 
completion of rebanding.  However, the Commission also recognized that some licensees might be unable 
to propose a timetable because they had not yet negotiated their FRAs with Sprint.  The Commission 
stated that such licensees should file interim waiver requests stating “when the licensee anticipates having 
an FRA and filing a final waiver request that will include a proposed timetable.”8 The Commission set 
April 15, 2008 as the deadline for licensees in Wave 3 to submit either an interim or a final request.9
III. DISCUSSION
4. The Commission has stated that requests for waiver of the June 26, 2008 deadline “will 
be subject to a high level of scrutiny.  Licensees will be expected to demonstrate that they have worked 
diligently and in good faith to complete rebanding expeditiously, and that the amount of additional time 
requested is no more than is reasonably necessary to complete the rebanding process.”10 We have 
reviewed each of the Wave 3 interim waiver requests in accordance with this standard.
5. We first address the licensees in Wave 3 that seek interim waivers to complete planning, 
negotiate their FRAs, and provide the Commission with their proposed timetables on or before July 18, 
2008.11 After review of these requests, we find that each of these licensees has demonstrated a sufficient 
level of diligence and good faith warranting grant of the requested interim waiver.  Moreover, we find 
that the limited amount of time that each licensee seeks is no more than is reasonably necessary to 
complete the planning and negotiation process and submit a comprehensive waiver request with a 
proposed timetable.  We therefore grant these interim requests, conditioned on each licensee filing a 
supplemental waiver request by the interim date specified in Appendix A that includes a proposed 
     
Supplemental Order); Memorandum Opinion and Order, 20 FCC Rcd 16015 (2005); Second Memorandum Opinion 
and Order, 22 FCC Rcd 10467 (2007); Third Memorandum Opinion and Order, 22 FCC Rcd 17209 (2007) (800 
MHz 3rd MO&O).  The 800 MHz 3rd MO&O was recently affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals.  Sprint Nextel 
Corporation v. FCC, 524 F.3d 253 (D.C. Cir. 2008).
5 800 MHz Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd at 15130, ¶ 347.  “Non-border” licensees are Wave 1-3 licensees and 
those Wave 4 licensees that have received rebanding frequency assignments from the 800 MHz Transition 
Administrator (TA).  Licensees that have not received frequency assignments from the TA due to their proximity to 
the U.S. - Canada or U.S. - Mexico border are not subject to the June 26, 2008 deadline.  The Bureau has established 
a separate rebanding timeline for the Canadian border region, Improving Public Safety Communications in the 800 
MHz Band, Second Report and Order, WT Docket 02-55, 23 FCC Rcd 7605 (PSHSB 2008), and will establish a 
rebanding timeline for the Mexican border region at a later date.

Notice).

implementation timetable as set out in the Waiver Guidance Notice.12 The timetable should include 
proposed milestone dates for completion of (1) retuning, reflashing, and/or replacement of subscriber 
equipment (subscriber equipment deployment); (2) retuning of base stations to the licensee’s new channel 
assignments and commencement of system operations on the new channels (system “cutover”); and (3) 
additional post-cutover system modifications (e.g., disposal or return of temporary or legacy equipment, 
removal of pre-rebanding channels from subscriber units).13 Upon filing of a timely supplemental waiver 
request that meets these criteria, the interim relief granted by this order will extend until the Bureau acts 
on the request.
6. Some licensees have requested interim waiver dates that are now past, but have not 
subsequently filed a proposed timetable or any other supplemental filings.14 We require those licensees to 
file a supplemental waiver request to the Bureau with a proposed timetable meeting the Waiver Guidance 
Notice criteria within 30 days of the release of this order.
7. We apply a higher level of scrutiny to those licensees in Wave 3 that failed to specify 
interim dates or requested dates beyond July 18, 2008 to complete their planning, FRA negotiations, and 
submit a waiver request to the Commission with a proposed timetable.15 We recognize that there are a 
variety of factors that may justify longer planning and negotiation periods for these licensees, including 
system size and complexity, coordination of planning issues with other licensees, and prior delays in the 
  
12 See Waiver Guidance Notice, 23 FCC Rcd at 665-666.  We recommend that licensees use the template form 
developed by the TA to submit their supplemental waiver requests and supporting timetable information.  The 
template is available at www.800ta.org/content/documents/rebanding_deadline_extension_process.asp.
13 In some cases, licensees will continue to operate and support operations on the five nationwide mutual aid 
channels in the old NPSPAC band after they have completed their own system cutovers to the new NPSPAC band, 
and will maintain the old mutual aid channels until rebanding by all NPSPAC licensees in the region is complete.  In 
such cases, we clarify that a licensee submitting a proposed timetable should specify dates relating to the rebanding 
of the licensee’s own system (e.g., the licensee’s own system cutover date), but is not required to specify a date for 
the rebanding of the five mutual aid channels.
14 See Appendix A.  These licensees are: Calhoun County, Alabama (conventional system); Hartselle, Alabama; 
Morgan County, Alabama (Region 1); Coral Springs, Florida; Hialeah, Florida; Martin, Florida; Ocala, Florida; 
Osceola, Florida; Palm Beach County, Florida; Pensacola, Florida; Plantation, Florida (Region 9); Bulloch County,

rebanding process outside the licensee’s control.  However, while we understand that the planning and 
FRA negotiation process can be complex and time-consuming, it is also important to the continued 
progress of rebanding in Wave 3 that these licensees expedite their efforts to develop proposed timetables 
for rebanding their systems.  We also believe that by July 18, 2008, all of these licensees should be 
sufficiently far along with their planning to be able to provide projected milestone dates for completion of 
the major steps in the rebanding process.
8. We therefore grant interim relief to each of these licensees, conditioned on the licensee 
submitting a supplemental waiver request by July 18, 2008 that includes a proposed rebanding timetable 
as set out in the Waiver Guidance Notice.16 As discussed above, the timetable should include proposed 
milestone dates for completion of subscriber equipment deployment, system cutover, and post-cutover 
system modifications.17 The timetable should also include the amount of additional time that the licensee 
estimates is reasonably required to complete planning and negotiate its FRA.  Upon filing of a timely 
waiver request that meets these criteria, the interim relief granted by this order will extend until the 
Bureau acts on the request.
IV. ORDERING CLAUSE
9. Accordingly, pursuant to the authority of Sections 0.191 and 0.392 of the Commission’s 
rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.191, 0.392; Section 4(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 
§ 154(i), and Section 1.925 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.925, IT IS ORDERED that the 
requests for interim waiver of the June 26, 2008 deadline submitted by the licensees listed in Appendix A 
of this order are GRANTED to the extent described herein.

16 See Waiver Guidance Notice, 23 FCC Rcd at 665-666.  Licensees may amend their waiver requests after July 18, 
2008 to revise their proposed milestone dates should such revision be warranted based on subsequent developments 
(e.g., scheduling information resulting from a subsequently negotiated FRA or a subsequent TA-sponsored 
Implementation Planning Session).
