§ 27.1176   Cost-sharing requirements for AWS in the 2150-2160/62 MHz band.

   (a) Frequencies in the 2150-2160/62 MHz band have been reallocated from the
   Broadband Radio Service (BRS) to AWS. All AWS entities who benefit from
   another  AWS  entity's clearance of BRS incumbents from this spectrum,
   including BRS incumbents occupying the 2150-2162 MHz band on a primary
   basis, must contribute to such relocation costs. Only AWS entrants that
   relocate BRS incumbents are entitled to such reimbursement.

   (b) AWS entities may satisfy their reimbursement requirement by entering
   into private cost-sharing agreements or agreeing to terms other than those
   specified in § 27.1180. However, AWS entities are required to reimburse other
   AWS  entities  that  incur relocation costs and are not parties to the
   alternative  agreement. In addition, parties to a private cost-sharing
   agreement may seek reimbursement through the clearinghouse (as discussed in
   § 27.1178) from AWS entities that are not parties to the agreement. The
   cost-sharing plan is in effect during all phases of BRS relocation until the
   end of the period specified in § 27.1190. If an AWS licensee enters into a
   spectrum leasing arrangement and the spectrum lessee triggers a cost-sharing
   obligation,  the licensee is the AWS entity responsible for satisfying
   cost-sharing obligations under these rules.
