SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Notice, the Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau invites interested parties to update the 
record in the WRS Reform NPRM and Order proceeding, which the 
Commission initiated in May 2010. In the NPRM, the Commission proposed 
new renewal standards designed to ``create consistent requirements for 
renewal of licenses and consistent consequences for discontinuance of 
service, and to clarify construction obligations for spectrum licenses 
that have been divided, by geographic partitioning or disaggregation of 
the spectrum.'' In addition, the Commission proposed to prohibit the 
filing of mutually exclusive, i.e., competing, renewal applications and 
imposed a freeze on the filing of such competing applications. While 
the Commission already has a robust record in this proceeding, 
including filings made during the initial comment and reply period, it 
provided an opportunity for stakeholders to update the record with new 
information or arguments that may be relevant to the Commission's 
consideration of what action may be appropriate in this proceeding.
    Pursuant to sections 1.415 and 1.419 of the Commission's rules, 47 
CFR 1.415, 1.419, interested parties may file comments and reply 
comments on or before the dates indicated on the first page of this 
document. Comments may be filed using the Commission's Electronic 
Comment Filing System (ECFS). See Electronic Filing of Documents in 
Rulemaking Proceedings, 63 FR 24121 (1998).

using the Internet by accessing the ECFS: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/.
    [ssquf] Paper Filers: Parties who choose to file by paper must file 
an original and one copy of each filing. If more than one docket or 
rulemaking number appears in the caption of this proceeding, filers 
must submit two additional copies for each additional docket or 
rulemaking number.
    Filings can be sent by hand or messenger delivery, by commercial 
overnight courier, or by first-class or overnight U.S. Postal Service 
mail. All filings must be addressed to the Commission's Secretary, 
Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission.
    [ssquf] All hand-delivered or messenger-delivered paper filings for 
the Commission's Secretary must be delivered to FCC Headquarters at 445

such data or arguments can be found) in lieu of summarizing them in the 
memorandum. Documents shown or given to Commission staff during ex
