Sec. 22.912 Service area boundary extensions.
This section contains rules governing service area boundary (SAB)
extensions. SAB extensions are areas outside of the cellular market
boundary, but within the service area as calculated using the methods of
Sec. 22.911(a). Cellular systems must be designed to comply with the
rules in this section. Applications proposing systems that would not
comply with the rules in this section are defective. Service within SAB
extensions is not protected from interference or capture under
Sec. 22.911(d) unless and until the area within the SAB extension
becomes a part of the cellular geographic service area (CGSA) in
accordance with Sec. 22.911(c).
(a) De minimis extensions. Except as restricted in paragraph (d) of
this section, SABs may extend into adjacent cellular markets if such
extensions are de minimis, are demonstrably unavoidable for technical
reasons of sound engineering design, and do not extend into the CGSA of
any other licensee's cellular system on the same channel block (unless
the licensee of such other system consents to the extension) or into any
adjacent cellular market on a channel block for which the five year
build-out period has expired.
(b) Contract extensions. Except as restricted in paragraph (d) of
this section, licensees of cellular systems on the same channel block in
adjacent cellular markets may, at any time, enter into contracts with
applicants or other licensees to allow SAB extensions into their CGSA
only (not into unserved areas). Except as restricted in paragraph (d) of
this section, licensees of the first authorized cellular systems on the
same channel block in adjacent cellular markets may agree to allow SAB
extensions into their CGSA and/or unserved areas in their cellular
markets during the five year build-out period of the market into which
the SAB extends.
(c) Same applicant/licensee. Except as restricted in paragraph (d)
of this section, licensees of cellular systems that are also an
applicant or licensee on the same channel block in adjacent cellular
markets may, at any time, allow or propose SAB extensions from their
adjacent market system into their
[[Page 193]]
CGSH only (not into unserved areas). Except as restricted in paragraph
(d) of this section, licensees of the first authorized cellular systems
that are also an applicant or licensee on the same channel block in
adjacent cellular markets may allow or propose SAB extensions from their
adjacent market system into their CGSA and/or unserved areas in their
cellular markets during the five year build-out period of the market
into which the SAB extends.
(d) Unserved area systems. Phase I initial cellular applications
must not propose SAB extensions. Phase I sole major modification
applications and Phase II applications may propose SAB extensions,
subject to the conditions in this section.
