(c) Identification for reallocation.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Assistant Secretary, in consultation with the Commission, shall identify 500 megahertz of frequencies in the covered band for reallocation to non-Federal use, shared Federal and non-Federal use, or a combination thereof, for full-power commercial licensed use cases, that—
(A) as of the date of enactment of this Act, are allocated for Federal use; and
(B) shall be in addition to the 300 megahertz of frequencies for which the Commission grants licenses under subsection (b)(2).
(2) SCHEDULE.—The Assistant Secretary shall identify the frequencies under paragraph (1) according to the following schedule:
(A) Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Assistant Secretary shall identify not less than 200 megahertz of frequencies within the covered band.
