**(a) Requirements** (1) **In general** — Not later than December 31, 2022, the Secretary, working through the NTIA, and the Commission shall identify a total of at least 255 megahertz of Federal and non-Federal spectrum for mobile and fixed wireless broadband use. (2) **Unlicensed and licensed use** — Of the spectrum identified under paragraph (1), not less than— (A) 100 megahertz below the frequency of 8000 megahertz shall be identified for use on an unlicensed basis; (B) 100 megahertz below the frequency of 6000 megahertz shall be identified for use on an exclusive, licensed basis for commercial mobile use, pursuant to the Commission’s authority to implement such licensing in a flexible manner, and subject to potential continued use of such spectrum by incumbent Federal entities in designated geographic areas indefinitely or for such length of time stipulated in transition plans approved by the Technical Panel under [section 923(h) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title47-section923/h&num=0&edition=prelim) for those incumbent entities to be relocated to alternate spectrum; and (C) 55 megahertz below the frequency of 8000 megahertz shall be identified for use on either a licensed or unlicensed basis, or a combination of licensed and unlicensed. (3) **Non-eligible spectrum** — For purposes of satisfying the requirement under paragraph (1), the following spectrum shall not be counted: (A) The frequencies between 1695 and 1710 megahertz.
