§ 101.1111 Partitioning and disaggregation.
(a) Definitions. Disaggregation. The assignment of discrete portions or
“blocks” of spectrum licensed to a geographic licensee or qualifying entity.
Partitioning. The assignment of geographic portions of a licensee's
authorized service area along geopolitical or other boundaries.
(b) Eligibility. (1) Parties seeking approval for partitioning and
disaggregation shall request an authorization for partial assignment of a
license pursuant to § 101.53. Parties shall submit the forms set forth in
§ 101.15(e).
(2) Licensees may apply to partition their licensed geographic service area
or disaggregate their licensed spectrum at any time following the grant of
their licenses.
(c) Technical standards—(1) Partitioning. In the case of partitioning,
requests for authorization for partial assignment of a license must include,
as an attachment, a description of the partitioned service area. The
partitioned service area shall be defined by coordinate points at every 3
degrees along the partitioned service area unless an FCC recognized service
area is utilized (i.e., Major Trading Area, Basic Trading Area, Metropolitan
Service Area, Rural Service Area or Economic Area) or county lines are
followed. The geographic coordinates must be specified in degrees, minutes,
and seconds to the nearest second of latitude and longitude and must be
based upon the 1983 North American Datum (NAD83). In the case where an FCC
recognized service area or county lines are utilized, applicants need only
list the specific area(s) (through use of FCC designations or county names)
that constitute the partitioned area. In such partitioning cases where an
unjust enrichment payment is owed the Commission, the request for
authorization for partial assignment of a license must include, as an
attachment, a calculation of the population of the partitioned service area
and the licensed geographic service area.
(2) Disaggregation. Spectrum may be disaggregated in any amount.
(3) Combined partitioning and disaggregation. The Commission will consider
requests for partial assignment of licenses that propose combinations of
partitioning and disaggregation.
(d) License term. The license term for a partitioned license area and for
disaggregated spectrum shall be the remainder of the original licensee's
license term as provided for in § 101.67 of this chapter.
(e) Construction requirements. Applications requesting approval for
partitioning or disaggregation must include a certification by each party
that it will satisfy the construction requirement set forth in § 101.1011 of
this chapter. Failure by a party to meet its respective construction
requirement will result in the automatic cancellation of its license without
further Commission action.
