12/14/2010--Reported to Senate amended. Spectrum Relocation Improvement Act of 2010 -(Sec. 2)
Amends the National Telecommunications and Information Administration Organization Act to require the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to post on its website detailed transition plans from each federal entity that is eligible for payments from the Spectrum Relocation Fund (Fund) for costs related to the reallocation of frequencies from federal to nonfederal use. Requires each federal entity's transition plan to provide certain public information about its spectrum relocation requirements including its:(1) current spectrum use;
(2) geographic location of facilities or systems;
(3) frequency bands used;
(4) steps to be taken to relocate current spectrum uses from eligible frequencies;
(5) necessary NTIA interactions;
(6) authorized commercial licensee negotiator;
(7) plans and timelines for equipment procurement, field-testing, and personnel hiring; and
(8) relocation process risk factors. Conditions a federal entity's eligibility to receive payment for relocations costs on, among other factors, an:
(1) Office of Management and Budget (OMB) finding that such a federal entity complies with Fund requirements and this Act's requirements; and
(2) evaluation by a three-member technical panel, of which the OMB Director, NTIA Administrator, and Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) each appoint one member. Directs the FCC and the NTIA to jointly establish any necessary applicable conditions to define the term "shared access," including methods of sharing spectrum resources and coordination between federal and nonfederal entities (commercial licensees, and/or sharing network infrastructure or other resources). Requires the federal entities, to the fullest extent possible, to provide for sharing and coordination of eligible frequencies with commercial licensees. Requires federal entities to complete spectrum relocation within one year of receiving relocation payments. Sets forth a process for a federal entity to complete such relocation according to an approved alternative time period. Establishes a dispute resolution process for a federal entity or affected commercial licensee to seek resolution of disputes over the execution, timing, or cost of a transition plan. Requires the dispute resolution board to be assisted by the technical panel. Authorizes appeals from dispute resolution board decisions to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
(Sec. 3)
