  Sec.  27.1209   Conversion of incumbent EBS and BRS stations to geographic area
licensing.

   (a)  Any EBS or BRS station licensed by the Commission, other than BTA
   authorizations and facilities authorized pursuant to BTA authorizations,
   shall be considered an incumbent station.

   (b) As of January 10, 2005, all incumbent EBS and BRS licenses shall be
   converted to a geographic area license. Pursuant to that geographic area
   license, such incumbent licensees may modify their systems provided the
   modified system complies with the applicable rules. The blanket license
   covers all fixed stations anywhere within the authorized service area,
   except as follows:

   (1) A station would be required to be individually licensed if

   (i) International agreements require coordination;

   (ii) Submission of an Environmental Assessment is required under  Sec. 1.1307 of
   this chapter;

   (iii) The station would affect the radio quiet zones under  Sec. 1.924 of this
   chapter.

   (2) Any antenna structure that requires notification to the Federal Aviation
   Administration  (FAA)  must be registered with the Commission prior to
   construction under  Sec. 17.4 of this chapter.

   (c) The frequencies associated with incumbent authorizations that have been
   cancelled automatically or otherwise been recovered by the Commission will
   automatically revert to the applicable BTA licensee.
