Bill overview
This bill aims to keep the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) able to use auctions to award licenses for radio and television spectrum. Currently, the FCC’s authority to conduct these auctions was set to expire, but this legislation extends it until June 30, 2023. The bill specifically modifies a section of the Communications Act to ensure the FCC can continue its existing process of competitive bidding for spectrum licenses. This extension allows the FCC to maintain control over the allocation of valuable wireless communication resources.
