bands.

   Link to an amendment published at  78 FR 50256 , Aug. 16, 2013.

   (a) Termination of authorization. A licensee's AWS authorization in the
   2000-2020 MHz and 2180-2200 MHz bands will automatically terminate,
   without specific Commission action, if it permanently discontinues
   service after meeting the AWS-4 Final Buildout Requirement as specified
   in §  27.14.

   (b) Permanent discontinuance. Permanent discontinuance of service is
   defined as 180 consecutive days during which a licensee holding AWS
   authority in the 2000-2020 MHz and 2180-2200 MHz bands does not operate
   or, in the case of a commercial mobile radio service provider, does not
   provide service to at least one subscriber that is not affiliated with,
   controlled by, or related to the providing carrier.

   (c) Filing requirements. A licensee of the 2000-2020 MHz and 2180-2200
   MHz bands that permanently discontinues service as defined in this
   section must notify the Commission of the discontinuance within 10 days
   by filing FCC Form 601 or 605 requesting license cancellation. An
   authorization will automatically terminate, without specific Commission
   action, if service is permanently discontinued as defined in this
   section, even if a licensee fails to file the required form requesting
   license cancellation.
