“The President shall modify or withdraw any frequency proposed for reallocation under this section not later than 60 days before the commencement of a system of competitive bidding scheduled by the Commission with respect to that frequency”
The section requires the President to modify or withdraw any frequency proposed for reallocation, no later than 60 days before the auction of that frequency begins, where the President determines that doing so is necessary to protect the national security of the United States.
What the document actually says
“The President shall modify or withdraw any frequency proposed for reallocation under this section not later than 60 days before the commencement of a system of competitive bidding scheduled by the Commission with respect to that frequency”
That sentence, in plain words
The President must change or pull any band up for handover. It must be done at least 60 days before its auction starts.
What this is about
The power turns on one test. The President must find it needed to protect national security. Without that finding the auction goes ahead.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
