§ 22.960   Cellular operations in the Chambers, TX CMA (CMA672-A).

   This section applies only to Cellular systems operating on channel block A
   of the Chambers, Texas CMA (CMA672-A).

   (a)  The  geographic boundary of CMA672-A is deemed to be the Cellular
   Geographic  Service  Area  (CGSA)  boundary. This CGSA boundary is not
   determined using the methodology of § 22.911. The licensee of CMA672-A may
   not propose an expansion of this CGSA into another CMA unless and until it
   meets the construction requirement set forth in paragraph (b)(2) of this
   section.

   (b) A licensee that holds the license for CMA672-A must be providing signal
   coverage and offering service as follows (and in applying these geographic
   construction benchmarks, the licensee is to count total land area):

   (1) To at least 35% of the geographic area of CMA672-A within four years of
   the grant of such authorization; and

   (2) To at least 70% of the geographic area of its license authorization by
   the end of the license term.

   (c) After it has met each of the requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) and
   (b)(2), respectively, of this section, the licensee that holds the license
   for  CMA672-A  must  notify the FCC that it has met the requirement by
   submitting  FCC Form 601, including GIS map files and other supporting
   documents  showing compliance with the requirement. See § 1.946 of this
   chapter. See also § 22.953.

   (d) Failure to meet the construction requirements set forth in paragraphs
   (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section by each of the applicable deadlines will
   result in automatic termination of the license for CMA672-A and its return
   to the Commission for future re-licensing subject to competitive bidding
   procedures. The licensee that fails to meet each requirement of this section
   by the applicable deadline set forth in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) shall
   be ineligible to regain the license for CMA672-A.
