§ 27.1031 Reimbursement obligation of licensees at 1995-2000 MHz.
A licensee in the 1995-2000 MHz band (Upper H Block) shall, within 30 days
of grant of its long-form application, reimburse one-seventh of the eligible
expenses incurred by Sprint Nextel, Inc. (Sprint) for relocating and
clearing Broadcast Auxiliary Service (BAS), Cable Television Relay Service
(CARS), and Local Television Transmission Service (LTTS) incumbents from the
1990-2025 MHz band, on a pro rata shared basis with other Upper H Block
licensees as set forth in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this section.
(a)(1) If Upper H Block licenses granted as a result of the first auction
for this spectrum cover, collectively, at least forty (40) percent of the
nation's population, the amount owed to Sprint by the winning bidder of each
individual Upper H Block license granted as a result of the first auction
will be determined by dividing the gross winning bid (GWB) for each
individual Upper H Block license (i.e., an Economic Area (EA)) by the sum of
the gross winning bids for all Upper H Block licenses for which there is a
winning bid in the first auction, and then multiplying by $94,875,516.
RN = (EA GWB ÷ Sum of GWBs) × $94,875,516
(2) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, a licensee
that obtains a license for a market in which no license was granted as a
result of the first Upper H Block auction will not have a reimbursement
obligation to Sprint.
(b) If Upper H Block licenses granted as a result of the first auction for
this spectrum cover, collectively, less than forty (40) percent of the
nation's population, then the amount that the licensee of an individual
Upper H Block license must reimburse Sprint shall be calculated by dividing
the population of the individual EA by the total U.S. population, and then
multiplying by $94,875,516. In this event, the same population data, e.g.,
2010, used to calculate the RNs for Upper H Block licenses granted as a
result of the first auction will apply to subsequent auctions of Upper H
Block licenses that were not granted as a result of an earlier auction of
Upper H Block licenses.
RN = (EA POP ÷ U.S. POP) × $94,875,516
(c) A winning bidder of an Upper H Block license that is not granted a
license for any reason will be deemed to have triggered a reimbursement
obligation to Sprint. This obligation will be owed to Sprint by the licensee
acquiring the Upper H Block license through a subsequent auction. The amount
owed by the licensee acquiring the EA license at such auction will be based
on the RN calculated for the EA license based on the first auction
(calculated under paragraphs (a) or (b), as applicable, of this section).
(d) For purposes of compliance with this section, licensees should determine
population based on 2010 U.S. Census Data or such other data or measurements
that the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau proposes and adopts under the
notice and comment process for the auction procedures.
(e) A payment obligation owed by a Upper H Block licensees under this
section shall be made within thirty (30) days of the grant of the license
(i.e., grant of the long form application).
