   (1)—Applications for frequencies in the 932.5-935/941.5-944 MHz bands
   may be filed initially during a one-week period to be announced by
   public notice. After these applications have been processed, the
   Commission will announce by public notice a filing date for remaining
   frequencies. From this filing date forward, applications will be
   processed on a daily first-come, first-served basis.

   (2) Frequencies in this band are shared with stations in the fixed
   satellite service outside the contiguous United States. Applications
   for new permanent or temporary facilities in these bands will not be
   accepted for locations in the contiguous United States. Licensees, as
   of April 19, 2018, of existing permanent and temporary point-to-point
   Fixed Service links in the contiguous United States have until December
   5, 2023, to self-relocate their point-to-point links out of the
   3,700-4,200 MHz band. Such licensees may seek reimbursement of their
   reasonable costs based on the “comparable facilities” standard used for
   the transition of microwave links out of other bands, see § 101.73(d) of
   this chapter (defining comparable facilities as facilities possessing
   certain characteristics in terms of throughput, reliability and
   operating costs) subject to the demonstration requirements and
   reimbursement administrative provisions administrative provisions in
   part 27, subpart O, of this chapter.
