   Cellular licensees may apply to partition any portion of their licensed
   Cellular Geographic Service Area (CGSA) or to disaggregate their licensed
   spectrum at any time following the grant of their authorization(s). Parties
   seeking approval for partitioning and disaggregation shall request from the
   FCC an authorization for partial assignment of a license pursuant to § 1.948
   of this chapter. See also paragraph (d) of this section regarding spectrum
   leasing.

   (a)   Partitioning,   disaggregation,  or  combined  partitioning  and
   disaggregation.  Applicants  must  file  FCC  Form 603 (“Assignment of
   Authorization and Transfer of Control”) pursuant to § 1.948 of this chapter,
   as well as GIS map files and a reduced-size PDF map pursuant to § 22.953 for
   both the assignor and assignee.

   (b) Field strength limit. For purposes of partitioning and disaggregation,
   Cellular systems must be designed so as to comply with § 22.983.

   (c) License term. The license term for a partitioned license area and for
   disaggregated spectrum will be the remainder of the original license term.

   (d) Spectrum leasing. Cellular spectrum leasing is subject to all applicable
   provisions of subpart X of part 1 of this chapter as well as the provisions
   of paragraph (a) of this section, except that applicants must file FCC Form
   608  (“Application or Notification for Spectrum Leasing Arrangement or
   Private Commons Arrangement”), not FCC Form 603.
