  § 24.245   Reimbursement under the Cost-Sharing Plan.

   (a) Registration of reimbursement rights. (1) To obtain reimbursement,
   a PCS relocator must submit documentation of the relocation agreement
   to the clearinghouse within ten business days of the date a relocation
   agreement is signed with an incumbent.

   (2) To obtain reimbursement, a voluntarily relocating microwave
   incumbent must submit documentation of the relocation of the link to
   the clearinghouse within ten business days of the date that the
   incumbent notifies the Commission that it intends to discontinue, or
   has discontinued, the use of the link, pursuant to § 101.305 of the
   Commission's rules.

   (b) Documentation of expenses. Once relocation occurs, the PCS
   relocator or the voluntarily relocating microwave incumbent, must
   submit documentation itemizing the amount spent for items listed in
   § 24.243(b). The voluntarily relocating microwave incumbent, must also
   submit an independent third party appraisal of its compensable
   relocation costs. The appraisal should be based on the actual cost of
   replacing the incumbent's system with comparable facilities and should
   exclude the cost of any equipment upgrades or items outside the scope
   of § 24.243(b). The PCS relocator or the voluntarily relocating
   microwave incumbent, must identify the particular link associated with
   appropriate expenses (i.e., costs may not be averaged over numerous
   links). If a PCS relocator pays a microwave incumbent a monetary sum to
   relocate its own facilities, the PCS relocator must estimate the costs
   associated with relocating the incumbent by itemizing the anticipated
   cost for items listed in § 24.243(b). If the sum paid to the incumbent
   cannot be accounted for, the remaining amount is not eligible for
   reimbursement. A PCS relocator may submit receipts or other
   documentation to the clearinghouse for all relocation expenses incurred
   since April 5, 1995.

   (c) Full Reimbursement. A PCS relocator who relocates a microwave link
   that is either fully outside its market area or its licensed frequency
   band may seek full reimbursement through the clearinghouse of
   compensable costs, up to the reimbursement cap as defined in
   § 24.243(b). Such reimbursement will not be subject to depreciation
   under the cost-sharing formula.
