Band earth station operators to modify these PFD limits, but it requires a 3.7
GHz Service licensee that is a party to such an agreement to maintain a copy of the agreement in its station files and disclose it, upon request, to prospective license assignees, transferees, or spectrum lessees, and to the Commission. The Commission also required any 3.7 GHz Service licensee with base stations located within the appropriate coordination distance to provide upon request an engineering analysis to the TT&C operator to demonstrate their ability to comply with the applicable 6 dB I/N criteria.
The information that will be collected under this new information collection is designed to ensure that 3.7 GHz Service licensees operate in a manner that ensures incumbent C-band operations in the upper portion of the 3.74.2 GHz band and TT&C operations in the 3700
3980 MHz band are protected. By requiring 3.7 GHz Service licensees to provide a copy of any private agreement with 3.7 GHz earth station operators to prospective license assignees, transferees, or spectrum lessees, and to the Commission, the Commission ensures that such agreements continue to protect incumbent C-band operations in the event a 3.7 GHz service license is subsequently transferred to a new licensee. This collection promotes the safety of operations in the band and reduces the risk of harmful interference to incumbents. It also ensures that relevant stakeholders have access to coordination agreements between 3.7
GHz Service licensees and entities operating earth stations or TT&C
operations.
The information provided by the 3.7
GHz Service licensee to the TT&C
operator ensures the protection of TT&C
operations. The information collection will facilitate an efficient and safe transition by requiring 3.7 GHz Service licensees to demonstrate their ability to comply with the 6 dB I/N criteria, thereby minimizing the risk of interference.

Synopsis 1. Introduction. In this Reconsideration Order, adopted and released on October 6, 2020, the Commission addresses petitions for reconsideration Petitions of the Report and Order, published at 84 FR 27734
June 14, 2019 Report and Order in the FM translator interference proceeding. The Commission dismisses or denies the arguments raised in the Petitions. It also corrects a cross reference contained in the rules established by the Report and Order.
2. Background. In the Report and Order, the Commission adopted new rules to improve the FM translator interference complaint and resolution process. Specifically, it: 1 Gave FM
translators the flexibility, upon a showing of interference to or from any other broadcast station, to change channels to any available same-band channel using a minor modification application; 2 standardized the information that must be compiled and submitted by any station claiming interference, including the minimum number of listener complaints proportionate to the signal coverage of the complaining station and undesiredto-desired U/D data demonstrating the relative signal strength at each listener location zone of potential interference;
and 3 established an outer contour limit of 45 dBu signal strength of the complaining station within which interference complaints will be considered actionable.
4. Discussion. The Commission dismisses or denies the arguments raised in the Petitions, as summarized below. It also corrects a cross reference contained in the rules established by the Report and Order.
5. Channel Changes. The Commission rejects the argument that it erred in the Report and Order by not requiring that low power FM LPFM preclusion studies be submitted with each minor change application filed by an FM
translator operator to operate on a nonadjacent channel. It affirms its earlier conclusion that neither the plain language of section 51 of the Local Community Radio Act of 2010 LCRA
nor subsequent case law mandates preclusion studies for translator minor change applications, explaining that LCRA section 5 pertains only to the licensing of new rather than existing stations. Moreover, the Commission finds that its previous efforts to preserve LPFM availability in the context of
