Abstract: New Broadband Radio Service (BRS) and Educational Broadband Service (EBS) band plan transitions in Basic Trading Areas (BTAs), which will provide both incumbent licensees and potential new entrants in the 2495-2690 MHz band with greatly enhanced flexibility to encourage the efficient and effective use of spectrum domestically and internationally and the growth and rapid development of innovative and efficient communications technologies and services. This information collection contains four reporting requirements: 1) the pre-transition data request; 2) the transition notice; 3) the Initiation Plan; and 4) the post-transition notification.
