Sec. 101.71  Voluntary negotiations.

    During the voluntary negotiation period, negotiations are strictly 
voluntary and are not defined by any parameters. However, if the parties 
have not reached an agreement within one year after the commencement of 
the voluntary period for non-public safety entities, or within three 
years after the commencement of the voluntary period for public safety 
entities, the FMS licensee must allow the ET licensee if it so chooses 
to gain access to the existing facilities to be relocated so that an 
independent third party can examine the FMS licensee's 2 GHz system and 
prepare an estimate of the cost and the time needed to relocate the FMS 
licensee to comparable facilities. The ET licensee must pay for any such 
estimate.
