On October 28, 2019, the FCC released its Order and Sixth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Order) streamlining elements of the 800 MHz band reconfiguration program, including the process by which licensees certify that the reconfiguration of their systems is complete. The Order is available here. Guidance for licensees regarding the Order can be found here.

Notice of Email Phishing: The 800 MHz Transition Administrator, LLC (TA) is committed to protecting the security and confidentiality of third-party information. The TA recently became aware of certain phishing attempts that impersonated three TA related email accounts. Phishing occurs when malicious persons “fish” for information by sending emails that impersonate a trustworthy sender. They are attempts to collect the recipients’ sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and financial details. The  phishing emails have been purportedly sent by Contracts@800Ta.Org, Archive@800Ta.Org and licensing@baselinetelecom.com. All the emails requested that the recipient click on a link to see an attachment. The TA did not send these emails. If you received any of these emails or any suspicious emails that appear to be from the TA, please notify the TA at 1-888-800-8220 and do not respond to any such emails and do not click on these links. For additional information on phishing, please see the Federal Trade Commission’s Consumer information website
