HR 1108 United States House · 118th Congress

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 1108 extends a deadline for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to use competitive bidding for licensing radio, TV, and other spectrum services. Specifically, it changes the date in the Communications Act from March 9, 2023, to May 19, 2023, allowing the FCC to continue its current auction process for spectrum licenses. This bill directly affects the FCC’s operational timeline for granting licenses or construction permits through competitive bidding. It is a procedural adjustment with no new policy or impact on other entities.
