§ 22.960   Cellular operations in the Chambers, TX CMA (CMA672-A).

   This section applies only to Cellular systems operating on channel
   block A of the Chambers, Texas CMA (CMA672-A).

   (a) The geographic boundary of CMA672-A is deemed to be the Cellular
   Geographic Service Area (CGSA) boundary. This CGSA boundary is not
   determined using the methodology of § 22.911. The licensee of CMA672-A
   may not propose an expansion of this CGSA into another CMA unless and
   until it meets the construction requirement set forth in paragraph
   (b)(2) of this section.

   (b) A licensee that holds the license for CMA672-A must be providing
   signal coverage and offering service as follows (and in applying these
   geographic construction benchmarks, the licensee is to count total land
   area):

   (1) To at least 35% of the geographic area of CMA672-A within four
   years of the grant of such authorization; and

   (2) To at least 70% of the geographic area of its license authorization
   by the end of the license term.

   (c) After it has met each of the requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) and
   (b)(2), respectively, of this section, the licensee that holds the
   license for CMA672-A must notify the FCC that it has met the
   requirement by submitting FCC Form 601, including GIS map files and
   other supporting documents showing compliance with the requirement. See
   § 1.946 of this chapter. See also § 22.953.

   (d) Failure to meet the construction requirements set forth in
   paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section by each of the applicable
   deadlines will result in automatic termination of the license for
   CMA672-A and its return to the Commission for future re-licensing
   subject to competitive bidding procedures. The licensee that fails to
   meet each requirement of this section by the applicable deadline set
   forth in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) shall be ineligible to regain the
   license for CMA672-A.
