FOR THE 3.5 GHZ BAND, WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU AND 
OFFICE OF ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY ESTABLISH GN DOCKET NO. 17-258
GN Docket No. 17-258
By this Public Notice, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and the Office of Engineering 
and Technology establish GN Docket No. 17-258, which is captioned “Promoting Investment in the 
3550-3700 MHz Band.”
Presentations are subject to “permit-but-disclose” ex parte rules.  See 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1206, 
1.1200(a).  Persons making ex parte presentations must file a copy of any written presentation or a 
memorandum summarizing any oral presentation within two business days after the presentation 
(unless a different deadline applicable to the Sunshine period applies).  Participants in this 
proceeding should familiarize themselves with the Commission’s ex parte rules, including the 
general prohibition on presentations (written and oral) on matters listed on the Sunshine Agenda, 
which is typically released a week prior to the Commission’s meeting.  See 47 CFR §§ 1.1200(a), 
1.1203. We find that all ex parte presentations made by NTIA or Department of Defense 
representatives are exempt under our exemption for presentations by federal agencies sharing 
jurisdiction with the Commission. See 47 CFR §1.1204(a)(5).
Action by Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, and Chief, Office of Engineering and 
Technology.
