§ 22.949 Unserved Area licensing; minimum coverage requirements.
(a) The Unserved Area licensing process described in this section is
on-going and applications may be filed at any time, subject to the following
coverage requirements:
(1) Applicants for authority to operate a new Cellular system or expand an
existing Cellular Geographic Service Area (CGSA) in Unserved Area must
propose a CGSA or CGSA expansion of at least 130 contiguous square
kilometers (50 contiguous square miles) using the methodology of § 22.911.
(2) Applicants for authority to operate a new Cellular system must not
propose coverage of water areas only (or water areas and uninhabited islands
or reefs only), except for Unserved Area in the Gulf of Mexico Service Area.
(b) There is no limit to the number of Unserved Area applications that may
be granted on each channel block of each CMA that is subject to the
procedures of this section. Consequently, Unserved Area applications are
mutually exclusive only if the proposed CGSAs would overlap. Mutually
exclusive applications are processed using the general procedures under
§ 22.131.
(c) Unserved Area applications under this section may propose a CGSA
covering more than one CMA. Each Unserved Area application must request
authorization for only one CGSA and must not propose a CGSA overlap with an
existing CGSA.
(d) Settlements among some, but not all, applicants with mutually exclusive
applications for Unserved Area (partial settlements) under this section are
prohibited. Settlements among all applicants with mutually exclusive
applications under this section (full settlements) are allowed and must be
filed no later than the date that the FCC Form 175 (short-form) is filed.
