Sec. 22.144  Termination of authorizations.

    Authorizations in the Public Mobile Services remain valid until 
terminated in accordance with this section, except that the FCC may 
revoke an authorization pursuant to section 312 of the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended (47 U.S.C. 312).
    (a) Expiration. Authorizations automatically terminate, without 
specific FCC action, on the expiration date specified therein, unless a 
timely application for renewal is filed (see Sec. 22.145). No 
authorization granted under the provisions of this part shall be for a 
longer term than ten years. See 47 U.S.C. 307(c).
    (b) Failure to commence providing service to subscribers. 
Authorizations automatically terminate, in whole or in part, without 
specific FCC action, on the date of required commencement of service, if 
service to subscribers is not commenced by that date (see Sec. 22.142), 
except as provided in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
    (1) Authorizations do not terminate while a timely filed application 
for extension of the construction period is pending (see 
Sec. 22.142(c)).
    (2) If a timely filed application for extension of the construction 
period is dismissed or denied, the authorization automatically 
terminates, in whole or in part, without specific FCC action, on the day 
after the applicant or the applicant's attorney is notified of the FCC's 
action dismissing or denying the application for extension of the 
construction period.
    (c) Service discontinued. Authorizations automatically terminate, 
without specific FCC action, if service is permanently discontinued as 
provided in Sec. 22.317.
    (d) STAs. Special Temporary Authorizations (STAs) automatically 
terminate, without specific FCC action, at the end of the period 
specified therein, except as provided in paragraph (d)(1) of this 
section, or upon failure to comply with the terms and conditions 
therein.
    (1) STAs do not terminate while a timely filed request for an 
extension of the STA term, in accordance with Sec. 22.125(b), is 
pending.
    (2) If a timely filed request for extension of the STA term is 
dismissed or denied, the STA automatically terminates, without specific 
FCC action, on the day after the applicant or the applicant's attorney 
is notified of the FCC's action dismissing or denying the request for 
extension.
    (e) Cancellation. Authorizations submitted by licensees for 
cancellation terminate when the FCC gives Public Notice of such action.
