Opportunity Summary:
The Band 14 Incumbent Spectrum Relocation Grant Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity issued by the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) under the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (DOC-NTIA). Its purpose is to support the transition of public safety users who are already operating on Band 14 so they can move their communications systems to other FCC-allocated frequencies. The core policy goal is to clear Band 14 of incumbent use so the spectrum can be made fully available, nationwide, for the public safety broadband network (NPSBN), which is intended to provide a dedicated broadband capability for first responders.
This opportunity was released as Federal Funding Opportunity Number 2016 NTIA SRGP 01 and is associated with CFDA 11.014. The funding instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is listed as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the full notice). While the listing does not provide an award ceiling or an expected number of awards in the provided fields, the program is clearly structured around reimbursing or supporting relocation-related needs tied to vacating Band 14, rather than general-purpose public safety communications upgrades unrelated to spectrum clearing.
Eligibility is indicated as "Others," with specifics deferred to the full announcement's eligibility section. In practical terms, the program is aimed at public safety entities that have active operations on Band 14 and therefore face costs and operational complexity in shifting to different spectrum bands. The grant exists to reduce the financial and logistical burden of that move, helping ensure these entities can maintain operational continuity while also enabling FirstNet to proceed with a nationwide, unencumbered Band 14 spectrum environment for public safety broadband service.
Key administrative dates in the notice show it was created and posted on March 16, 2016, with an application closing date of May 16, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates match). The awarding agency is listed as DOC-NTIA, reflecting FirstNet's placement within NTIA for the purposes of this funding opportunity.
