§ 27.1418 Payment obligations.
(a) Each eligible space station operator is responsible for the payment
of its own satellite transition costs until the auction winners have
been announced.
(b) Licensees in the 3.7 GHz Service shall pay their pro rata share of:
(1) The reasonable costs of the Relocation Payment Clearinghouse and,
in the event the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau selects the
Relocation Coordinator, the services of the Relocation Coordinator and
its staff;
(2) The actual relocation costs, provided that they are not
unreasonable, for eligible space station operators and incumbent fixed
service licensees; the actual transition costs, provided they are not
unreasonable, associated with the necessary migration and filtering of
incumbent earth stations;
(3) Any lump sum payments, if elected by incumbent earth station
operators in lieu of actual relocation costs; and
(4) Specified accelerated relocation payments for space station
operators that clear on an accelerated timeframe. Licensees in the 3.7
GHz Service shall be responsible for the full costs of space station
transition, the Relocation Payment Clearinghouse, and, if selected and
established by the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, the Relocation
Coordinator, based on their pro rata share of the total auction bids of
each licensee's gross winning bids in the auction overall; they shall
be responsible for incumbent earth station and incumbent fixed service
transition costs in a Partial Economic Area based on their pro rata
share of the total gross bids for that Partial Economic Area.
(c) Following the auction, and every six months until the close of the
transition, licensees in the 3.7 GHz Service shall submit their portion
of estimated transition costs to a reimbursement fund, and the
Relocation Payment Clearinghouse will reimburse parties incurring
transition costs. If actual costs exceed estimated costs, the
Relocation Payment Clearinghouse shall perform a true-up for additional
funds from 3.7 GHz Service licensees.
(d) If 3.7 GHz band license is relinquished to the Commission prior to
all relocation cost reimbursements and accelerated relocation payments
being paid, the remaining payments will be distributed among other
similarly situated 3.7 GHz band licensees. If a new license is issued
for the previously relinquished rights prior to final payments becoming
due, the new 3.7 GHz band licensee will be responsible for the same pro
rata share of relocation costs and accelerated relocation payments as
the initial 3.7 GHz band license. If a 3.7 GHz band licensee sells its
rights on the secondary market, the new 3.7 GHz band licensee will be
obligated to fulfill all payment obligations associated with the
license.
