To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to extend the authority of the Federal Communications Commission to grant a license or construction permit through a system of competitive bidding.
HR 3345 extends the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) deadline for using competitive bidding to grant radio frequency licenses and construction permits. The bill updates the expiration date in the Communications Act of 1934 from March 9, 2023, to June 30, 2023. This technical adjustment directly affects the FCC's licensing process and telecommunications companies seeking spectrum access. It does not change the policy requiring competitive bidding but provides additional time for the FCC to implement this system.
