This action would be in furtherance of Congress' direction in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB Act) to \"complet[e] a system of competitive bidding not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act for not less than 100 megahertz in the band between 3.98 gigahertz and 4.2 gigahertz.\" The NPRM seeks comment on options for reconfiguring the Upper C-band in the contiguous United States ranging from 180 megahertz (3.98-4.16 GHz) to the congressionally mandated minimum of 100 megahertz (3.98-4.08 GHz) for terrestrial wireless use. The NPRM seeks comment on how much Upper C- band spectrum--beyond the minimum 100 megahertz required by the OBBB Act--could be repurposed by incumbent fixed satellite service (FSS) space station operators and on how the transition could be effectuated if their existing customers relocate out of the C-band. Under any of the reconfiguration options under consideration, the NPRM's baseline proposition is to apply the existing 3.7 GHz Service rules (applicable in the Lower C-band from 3.7-3.98 GHz) to any newly authorized terrestrial wireless operations. Any other rules and requirements, including those relating to the transition process, would be modeled to the greatest extent possible on those that applied to the Lower C-band transition. The NPRM also seeks comment on a range of issues associated with repurposing some portion of the Upper C-band, including: reallocation of the 4.0-4.2 GHz band; competitive bidding procedures for an eventual auction; licensing, operating, and technical rules for any new wireless services; (4) transitioning incumbent FSS operations; and promoting co-existence with adjacent band radio altimeters.","document_number":"2025-22020","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/05/2025-22020/in-the-matter-of-upper-c-band-398-42-ghz","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-12-05/pdf/2025-22020.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22020.pdf?1764855918","publication_date":"2025-12-05","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"on the assumption that robust, custom filters <span class=\"match\">have</span> been installed at those facilities, like other FSS earth stations; (3) TT&amp;C filter quality <span class=\"match\">must</span> provide a minimum of 60 dB of rejection, and the frequency at which the filter <span class=\"match\">must</span> meet this 60 dB of rejection would vary with the bandwidth; (4) TT&amp;C filters <span class=\"match\">must</span> meet 60 dB of rejection for all frequencies removed from the center frequency by more than 150% of the TT&amp;C's emission bandwidth, both above and below the channel; (5) the filter <span class=\"match\">must</span> provide 70 dB of rejection for all frequencies"},{"title":"Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Calendar Year 2026 Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) Rate Update; Requirements for the HH Quality Reporting Program and the HH Value-Based Purchasing Expanded Model; Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program Updates; DMEPOS Accreditation Requirements; Provider Enrollment; and Other Medicare and Medicaid Policies","type":"Rule","abstract":"This final rule sets forth routine updates to the Medicare home health payment rates in accordance with existing statutory and regulatory requirements.

These bands are shared between the terrestrial Upper Microwave Flexible Use Service (UMFUS) and the Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS) pursuant to the Commission's rules. When the Commission created this framework in 2016, it assumed that UMFUS bands would be used intensively as a part of terrestrial 5G networks, that earth station deployment in the bands would be relatively light, and that the technical rules adopted were necessary to protect terrestrial UMFUS operations but not too onerous to chill FSS earth station siting. Since that time, it has become more clear how the bands are being used for terrestrial service and how growth in the space economy has increased interest in using the UMFUS bands for FSS. Given these shifts, the requirements contained in the Commission's rules have proven to be an impediment to processing earth station applications in the bands. Accordingly, the NPRM would seek input on a variety of mechanisms that might facilitate more intensive use of the UMFUS bands and improve licensing efficiency.","document_number":"2025-21805","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/03/2025-21805/facilitating-more-intensive-use-of-upper-microwave-spectrum","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-12-03/pdf/2025-21805.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-21805.pdf?1764683112","publication_date":"2025-12-03","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"parties <span class=\"match\">have</span> 30 days to respond, and applicants, permittees, and licensees are expected to make every reasonable effort to eliminate all problems and conflicts.
