§  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.
