Sec.  90.727   Extended implementation schedules for Phase I licensees.

   Except for nationwide and commercial systems, a period of up to three (3)
   years may be authorized for constructing and placing a system in operation
   if:

   (a) The applicant submits justification for an extended implementation
   period. The justification must include reasons for requiring an extended
   construction period, the proposed construction schedule (with milestones),
   and must show either that:

   (1) The proposed system will serve a large fleet of mobile units and will
   involve a multi-year cycle for its planning, approval, funding, purchase,
   and construction; or

   (2)  The proposed system will require longer than 8 months to place in
   operation because of its purpose, size, or complexity; or

   (3)  The  proposed system is to be part of a coordinated or integrated
   area-wide system which will require more than 8 months to construct; or

   (4) The applicant is a local governmental agency and demonstrates that the
   government involved is required by law to follow a multi-year cycle for
   planning, approval, funding, and purchasing the proposed system.

   (b) Authorizations under this section are conditioned upon the licensee's
   compliance with the submitted extended implementation schedule. Failure to
   meet the schedule will result in loss of authorizations for facilities not
   constructed.
