certification of the areas for which they
are providing service. Construction
notifications must include electronic
coverage maps, supporting technical
documentation, and any other
information as the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau may
prescribe by public notice.
Section 27.14(s)—requires AWS–3
licensees to make a ‘‘renewal showing’’
at the time of license renewal—
independent of the performance
requirements—as a condition of
renewal. The showing must include a
detailed description of the applicant’s
provision of service during the entire
license period and address: (1) The level
and quality of service provided by the
applicant (e.g., the population served,
the area served, the number of
subscribers, the services offered); (2) the
date service commenced, whether
service was ever interrupted, and the
duration of any interruption or outage;
(3) the extent to which service is
provided to rural areas; (4) the extent to
which service is provided to qualifying
tribal land as defined in § 1.2110(f)(3)(i);
and (5) any other factors associated with
the level of service to the public.
Section 27.17(c)—requires that an
AWS–3 licensee that permanently
discontinues service must notify the
Commission of the discontinuance
within 10 days by filing FCC Form 601
or 605 requesting license cancellation. It
also provides that an authorization will
automatically terminate, without
specific Commission action, if service is
permanently discontinued, even if a
licensee fails to file the required form
requesting license cancellation. Sections
27.17(a) and (b) define permanent
discontinuation of service as 180 days
during which a licensee does not
provide service to at least one
unaffiliated subscriber.
Section 27.50(d)(3)—requires that a
licensee operating an AWS–3 base or
fixed station utilizing a power greater
than 1640 watts EIRP or 1640 watts/
MHz EIRP must be coordinated in
advance with the following licensees
authorized to operate within 120
kilometers (75 miles) of the base or fixed
station: All Broadband Radio Service
(BRS) licensees authorized in the 2155–
2160 MHz band, and all AWS licensees
authorized to operate on adjacent
frequency blocks in the 2110–2180 MHz
band.
Section 27.1131—requires AWS–3
licensees, prior to initiating operations
from any base or fixed station, to
coordinate their frequency usage with
incumbent co-channel and adjacentchannel fixed point-to-point microwave
licensees operating in the 2110–2150
MHz and 2160–2200 MHz bands. If
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
coordination does not resolve potential
conflicts, an AWS licensee may
undertake to relocate the FS stations
under Part 101, Subpart B of the
Commission’s rules. Although AWS–1
licensees have relocated many FS legacy
operations, AWS–3 licensees will likely
have to relocate some remaining
incumbents, resulting in disclosures
described below. Under section 101.79
of the Commission’s rules, these
requirements will sunset ten years after
the first AWS license is issued in the
band.
Section 27.1132—requires AWS–3
licensees in the 2155–2160/62 MHz
band to protect BRS stations from
interference or to relocate them prior to
initiating operations. Under section
27.1253 of the Commission’s rules,
these requirements will sunset fifteen
years after the first AWS license is
issued in the band.
Section 27.1134(c)—requires AWS–3
licensees to coordinate with Federal
Government incumbents before
commencing operations in the 1695–
1710 MHz band. For transmitters
operating with a maximum EIRP of 20
dBm, coordination is required inside 27
specific Protection Zones detailed in
U.S. note 88 to section 2.106 of the
Commission’s rules and in the 2014
Joint PN. For higher-powered
operations, § 27.1134(c) and U.S. note
88 to § 2.106 both require coordination
nationwide unless otherwise specified
by FCC rule, order, or notice. The 2014
Joint PN (see below) refined the
nationwide default zone for higherpower operations by adding 27
Protection Zones (larger than the zones
for operations up to 20 dBm, to account
for the higher power).
Section 27.1134(f)—requires AWS–3
licensees to coordinate with Federal
Government incumbents before
commencing operations in the 1755–
1780 MHz band. While the default
coordination requirement for this band
is nationwide, the 2014 Joint PN (see
below) effectively reduced the scope of
coordination to specific Protection
Zones for many AWS–3 licensees that
limit transmitter power to 20 dBm EIRP.
