(2) The end of the applicable license
term. In the construction notification,
licensees must certify and demonstrate
that they are providing such service
over at least 75 percent of the
population of the areas.
47 CFR 27.14(j). 47 CFR 27.14(j)
provides that, in the event that a
licensee’s authority to operate in an area
terminates automatically for failure to
comply with the applicable construction
requirements identified in 47 CFR
27.14(g), (h), or (i), the unserved area
will become available for relicensing to
third parties. A 700 MHz licensee
holding an authorization granted
pursuant to the unserved area licensing
procedures set forth in 47 CFR 27.14(j)
must file a construction notification
with the Commission within 15 days
after the one-year anniversary of initial
license grant. In the construction
notification, a licensee must certify and
demonstrate that it is providing signal
coverage and offering service over 100
percent of the geographic area of the
new license area.
700 MHz Interoperability Order.
Pursuant to the 700 MHz
Interoperability Order, the interim
construction deadline for Block A and
Block B licensees was extended to
December 13, 2016. The 700 MHz
Interoperability Order waived the
interim construction requirement for
certain Block A licensees due to
technical issues arising from their
proximity to Television Channel 51
stations. Further, the interim
construction deadline for Block E was
extended to March 7, 2017, and the final
Block E construction deadline was
moved to March 7, 2021.
b. 700 MHz Interim Reporting
Requirement—47 CFR 27.14(l). Pursuant
to 47 CFR 27.14(l), 700 MHz licensees
with authorizations in the spectrum
blocks identified above (Blocks A, B, E,
C, C1 and C2), excluding any licensee
that obtained its license pursuant to the
procedures set forth in 47 CFR 27.14(j),
must file interim reports with the
Commission that provide the
Commission, at a minimum, with
information concerning the status of
their efforts to meet the performance
requirements applicable to their
authorizations in such spectrum blocks
and the manner in which that spectrum
is being utilized.
Required Information. Licensees must
identify the date the license term
commenced, and provide a description
of the steps the licensee has taken
toward meeting its construction
obligations in a timely manner,
including the technology or
technologies and service(s) being
provided, as well as the areas within
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:10 Apr 28, 2023
Jkt 259001
their license areas in which those
services are available.
Deadlines. Pursuant to 47 CFR
27.14(l), licensees were required to file
their first interim report with the
Commission no later than June 12, 2011
and no sooner than 30 days prior to this
date. Licensees that meet their interim
construction benchmarks must file a
second interim report with the
Commission no later than June 12, 2016,
and no sooner than 30 days prior to this
date. Licensees that do not meet their
interim construction benchmarks must
file their second interim report no later
than on June 12, 2015, and no sooner
than 30 days prior to this date.
However, the 700 MHz
Interoperability Order waived the
second interim report requirement for
Lower 700 MHz band A and B Block
licensees subject to the extended
interim construction benchmark
deadline. The 700 MHz Interoperability
Order did not waive the reporting
requirement for Lower 700 MHz band A
Block licensees subject to a waiver of
the interim construction benchmark
deadline because of Channel 51
interference protection requirements.
That order also extended the deadline
until March 7, 2019, for Lower 700 MHz
band E Block licensees to file a second
status report regarding the licensees’
efforts to meet their performance
requirements.

is to enable the Band Manager at 4.9

on public safety deployments to perform
its frequency coordination duties and
