General Instructions For Spectrum Leasing Arrangement or Private Commons Arrangement

Purpose of Form

FCC Form 608 is a multi-purpose form. It is used to provide required notification or request approval for any spectrum leasing arrangement (“Lease”) entered into between an existing licensee (“Licensee”) in certain Wireless, Mobile Satellite Service and/or Public Safety Radio Services and a spectrum lessee (“Lessee”). This form also is required to notify or request approval for any spectrum subleasing arrangement (“Sublease”). The data collected on the form is used by the FCC to determine whether the public interest would be served by the Lease or Sublease. The form is also used to provide notification for any Private Commons Arrangement entered into between a Licensee, Lessee, or Sublessee and a class of third-party users (as defined in Section 1.9080 of the Commission’s Rules). Applications/Notifications for Subleases or Private Common Arrangements must be filed manually and sent to the appropriate address. The mailing address can be found under the Application Fees and Filing Locations section found on page 8 of the instructions.

The services that use this form are those services listed in Section 1.9005 of the Commission’s Rules. See 47 C.F.R. Section 1.900 et seq. For additional information, see Promoting Efficient Use of Spectrum Through Elimination of Barriers to the Development of Secondary Markets, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, WT Docket No. 00-230, FCC 03-113, at ¶ 84 & n.181 (rel.

FCC Form 608 replaces FCC Form 603-T for all purposes.

Introduction

This is a multi-part form consisting of a Main Form and several schedules. Each application/notification, amendment, or other request must contain only one Main Form but may contain as few or as many of the additional schedules as necessary.

Main Form

The purpose of the Main Form is to obtain information sufficient to identify the parties to the associated Lease, Sublease or Private Commons Arrangement, establish the parties’ eligibility and qualifications for entering into the Lease, classify the filing, and determine the nature of the proposed service. The Main Form also contains the required certifications and signature blocks for the parties. The Main Form is required for every filing.

Schedules

In addition to the Main Form, which is required with every filing, completion of certain schedule(s) may also be required, depending on the type of Lease or Sublease, or whether a Private Commons Arrangement is involved. The purposes of these schedules are as follows:

Schedule A (Schedule for Licensees that Received Bidding Credits or Participate in the Installment Payment Plan, or Involving Licenses Won in Closed Bidding) This Schedule establishes whether unjust enrichment provisions or other restrictions apply.

Schedule B (Schedule for New Lease or New Sublease) This Schedule is used to provide required notification for new Spectrum Manager Leases or Subleases and to request approval for new De Facto Transfer Leases or Subleases. All filings for Subleases must be filed manually and sent to the appropriate address. The mailing address can be found under the Application Fees and Filing Locations section found on page 8 of the instructions.

Schedule C (Schedule for Modification of a Geographically Licensed Lease or Sublease to Add, Modify or Delete Technical Location Information for International Coordination, Environmental Assessment, or Quiet Zone Location). This Schedule is used to provide the technical location information for locations that require international coordination, an environmental assessment, or are located in a Quiet Zone. File a separate schedule for each location. All filings for Subleases must be filed manually and sent to the appropriate address. The mailing address can be found under the Application Fees and Filing Locations section found on page 8 of the instructions.

Schedule D (Schedule for Transfer of Control of a Lessee or Sublessee) This Schedule is used to notify the Commission or request Commission approval of the transfer of control of a Lessee/Sublessee. In addition, this Schedule is used to provide required notification of a transfer of control of the Lessee/Sublessee pursuant to the Commission’s forbearance procedures for telecommunications carriers. (See Section 1.948 of the Commission’s Rules). All filings for Subleases must be filed manually and sent to the appropriate address. The mailing address can be found under the Application Fees and Filing Locations section found on page 8 of the instructions.

Schedule E (Schedule for Supplemental Information Pertaining to a New Lease, New Sublease, Revision To Extend the Term of an Existing Lease or Sublease, or Revision To Cancel an Existing Lease or Sublease). This Schedule is used to provide supplemental date information in regards to the filing. All filings for Subleases must be filed manually and sent to the appropriate address. The mailing address can be found under the Application Fees and Filing Locations section found on page 8 of the instructions.

Schedule F (Schedule for Defined Geographic Area To Be Leased (Geographically Licensed Service)) This Schedule is used in conjunction with Schedule B for a New Lease when geographically licensed authorizations are involved and the entire geographic area and/or spectrum is not being leased. This Schedule must be used when the leased area involves FCC-defined geographic boundaries (i.e., Major Trading Areas (MTAs), Basic Trading Areas (BTAs), etc.) or county boundaries.

FCC Form 608 – Main Form Instructions

(Edition Date) – Page 2

This Schedule can be used to describe the geographic area of the Lease and any amount of the licensed spectrum (or both).

Schedule G (Schedule for Leases that Involve an Undefined Geographic Area) This Schedule is used in conjunction with Schedule B and Schedule F when geographically licensed authorizations are involved and the geographic area associated with the New Lease cannot be described using FCC-defined geographic boundaries or counties. This Schedule must be used to provide the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) that depict the periphery of the leased area.

Schedule H (Schedule for Point-to-Point Microwave Links To Be Leased in Geographically-Licensed Services) This Schedule is used in conjunction with Schedule B for a New Lease when geographically licensed point-to-point microwave authorizations are involved and one or more links are being leased.

Schedule I (Schedule for Supplemental Information Pertaining to a New Private Commons Arrangement, Modification of an Existing Private Commons Arrangement, Revision to Extend the Term of an Existing Private Commons Arrangement, or Revision to Cancel an Existing Private Commons Arrangement). This Schedule is used when filing a notification of a Private Commons Arrangement. All filings for Private Commons Arrangements must be filed manually and sent to the appropriate address. The mailing address can be found under the Application Fees and Filing Locations section found on page 8 of the instructions.

Who Must File and When

Existing Licensees may enter into Leases with spectrum Lessees, consistent with the Commission’s Rules governing such arrangements as set forth in Subpart X of Part 1 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.9001 et seq. In general, two types of spectrum leasing arrangements are permitted: (1) spectrum manager leasing arrangements (“Spectrum Manager Leases”) and (2) de facto transfer leasing arrangements (“De Facto Transfer Leases”). In addition, provided that certain conditions are met, Lessees are permitted to enter into spectrum subleasing arrangements (“Subleases”) with spectrum sublessees (“Sublessees”). The Commission has also established a new type of secondary market arrangement that permits the development of a “Private Commons” in licensed wireless and/or public safety radio spectrum. Applications/Notifications for Subleases or Private Common Arrangements must be filed manually and sent to the appropriate address. The mailing address can be found under the Application Fees and Filing Locations section found on page 8 of the instructions.

If a Licensee proposes to enter into a Spectrum Manager Lease with a Lessee, the Licensee must file a notification (“Notification”) providing specified information about and certifications by the Licensee and Lessee, with the Commission prior to commencement of operations under the Lease.

If a Licensee proposes to enter into a De Facto Transfer Lease with a Lessee, they are required to file an application for approval by the Commission providing specified information about and certifications by both the Licensee and Lessee.

If a Lessee proposes to enter into a Sublease with a Sublessee, a similar Notification is required for a Spectrum Manager Sublease or an application/notification is required for a De Facto Transfer Sublease. Applications/Notifications for Subleases must be filed manually and sent to the appropriate address. The mailing address can be found under the Application Fees and Filing Locations section found on page 8 of the instructions.

If a Licensee, Lessee, or Sublessee proposes to enter into a Private Commons arrangement with a class of users, the Licensee or Lessee or Sublessee (whichever entity is to serve as manager of the Private Commons arrangement) is required to file a notification (“Notification”) with the Commission. This notification must include information that describes: the general terms and conditions of the Private Commons arrange, including a description of the conditions for spectrum access placed on users: the technical and operating terms and conditions of use placed on users, including those relating to the types of communications devices that may be used within the Private Commons; the types of communications uses that are allowed by within the Private Commons; the location(s) or coverage area(s) of the Private Commons under the license authorization; and, the term of the arrangement (e.g., commencement date and termination date). Applications/Notifications for Private Common Arrangements must be filed manually and sent to the appropriate address. The mailing address can be found under the Application Fees and Filing Locations section found on page 8 of the instructions.

General Definitions and Other General Information (Including Who Must Sign the Form)

Unless noted otherwise, all references in these instructions to the Commission’s Rules refer to Part 1, Subpart X of the Commission’s Rules.

Spectrum Manager Lease

A Licensee and Lessee may enter into a Spectrum Manager Lease provided that (1) the Licensee retains de jure control of its license and de facto control over the leased spectrum pursuant to the de facto control standard applicable to spectrum leasing arrangements (See Section 1.9010 of the Commission’s Rules), and (2) the Licensee and Lessee meet the other applicable requirements for Spectrum Manager Leases as set forth in the Commission’s Rules.

De Facto Transfer Lease

A Licensee and Lessee may enter into a De Facto Transfer Lease, whereby de facto control over the use of the leased spectrum is transferred to the Lessee, provided that the Licensee retains de jure control of its license and the Licensee and Lessee meet the other applicable requirements for De Facto Transfer Leases as set forth in the Commission’s Rules.

New Lease

When a Licensee and Lessee enter into a Lease of certain specified spectrum associated with a particular license authorization for the first time, such Lease constitutes a new Lease (“New Lease”) for purposes of this application/notification.

If a Licensee and Lessee involved in a Short-Term De Facto Transfer Lease seek to “convert” that Short-Term De Facto Transfer Lease into a Long-Term De Facto Transfer Lease of spectrum under the license authorization, the Short-Term De Facto Transfer Lease must be cancelled and a new Long-Term De Facto Transfer Lease application/notification filed.

A Lessee may not assign an existing Lease to another party. The existing Lease must be cancelled and the new party must file for a new Lease.

If a New Lease application/notification is filed, the Main Form, Schedule B and Schedule E must be filed with the Commission and are always required. Schedules A, F, G and H are only required in certain circumstances.

If a New Lease application/notification is filed, both the Licensee and Lessee must sign the form.

New Sublease (Must be filed Manually)

A Lessee under an existing Spectrum Manager Lease or Long-Term De Facto Transfer Lease may enter into a Sublease provided that the Licensee has consented to the Sublease and all other applicable requirements for entering into a Sublease, as set forth in the Commission’s Rules, are met.

If the underlying Lease is a Spectrum Manager Lease, the Lessee and Sublessee are permitted only to enter into a Spectrum Manager Sublease.

If the underlying Lease is a Long-Term De Facto Transfer Lease, the Lessee and Sublessee may enter into either a Spectrum Manager Sublease or De Facto Transfer Sublease.

Lessees under Short-Term De Facto Transfer Leases are not permitted to enter into Subleases.

If a New Sublease application/notification is filed, the Main Form, Schedule B and Schedule E must be filed with the Commission and are always required. Schedule A must be filed, if applicable.

Private Commons Arrangement

A “Private Commons” arrangement, an arrangement distinct from a spectrum leasing arrangement, is permitted in the same services for which spectrum leasing arrangements are allowed. Under a Private Commons arrangement, a Licensee, Lessee or Sublessee makes certain spectrum usage rights under the license authorization available to a class of third-party users that employ advanced communications technologies that do not involve use of the Licensee’s, Lessee’s or Sublessee’s end-to-end physical network infrastructure (e.g., base stations, mobile stations, or other related elements) and are not intended to be used in the provision of network-based services to end-users. Specifically, in a Private Commons arrangement the Licensee, Lessee or Sublessee authorizes users of certain communications devices employing particular technical parameters, as specified by the Licensee, Lessee or Sublessee, to operate under the license authorization. The Licensee, Lessee or Sublessee that acts as the manager of a Private Commons must retain de facto control of the use of the spectrum by such third-party users. This includes maintaining reasonable oversight over the user’s use of the spectrum to ensure that the use of the spectrum, and communications equipment employed, comply with the applicable technical and service rules; it also includes maintaining the ability to ensure such compliance. For additional information, see Promoting Efficient Use of Spectrum Through Elimination of Barriers to the Development of Secondary Markets, Second Report and Order, Order on Reconsideration, and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, WT Docket No. 00-230, FCC 04-167, at ¶¶ 91-99 (rel. Sep. 2, 2004) (“Secondary Markets Second Report and Order”); 47 C.F.R. § 1.9080.

A Licensee, Lessee or Sublessee acting as the manager of the Private Commons must notify the Commission of a Private Commons arrangement prior to permitting third-party users to commence operations. This Licensee, Lessee or Sublessee must complete the applicable questions, and submit the necessary exhibits, as set forth in the Main Form and Schedule I, and sign the Main Form. If a Private Commons Arrangement applies with regard to operations under a license authorization (as opposed to spectrum that has been leased under a spectrum leasing arrangement), the Licensee must sign the form.

If a Private Commons Arrangement applies with regard to spectrum leased under a De Facto Transfer Lease, the Lessee must sign the form.

If a Private Commons Arrangement applies with regard to spectrum leased under a De Facto Transfer Sublease, the Sublessee must sign the form.

If a Private Commons Arrangement applies with regard to spectrum leased under a Spectrum Manager Lease, the Lessee must sign the form.

If a Private Commons Arrangement applies with regard to spectrum leased under a Spectrum Manager Sublease, the Sublessee must sign the form.

Applications/Notifications for Private Commons Arrangements must be filed manually and sent to the appropriate address. The mailing address can be found under the Application Fees and Filing Locations section found on page 8 of the instructions.

Regulatory Status and Offerings (Only applicable on a Modification of a Lease or Modification of a Sublease)

Radio Service Offerings

Item 9 Indicate the type(s) of radio service offerings the Applicant plans to provide.

All entities that are planning to use the lease spectrum for telecommunications services should select common carrier in this item. The term ‘telecommunications service’ means the offering of telecommunications (i.e., the transmission, between or among points specified by the user, of information of the user's choosing, without change in the form or content of the information as sent and received) for a fee directly to the public, or to such classes of users as to be effectively available directly to the public, regardless of the facilities used. Non-common carriers do not hold themselves out indiscriminately for hire as carriers of communications provided by the customer. A person engaged in radio broadcasting shall not, insofar as such person is so engaged, be deemed a common carrier. Thus, those entities meeting this definition would select non-common carrier for this item. Private internal users are those entities that utilize telecommunications services purely for internal business purposes or public safety communications and not on a for hire or for profit basis. Such entities should select ‘Private’ for this item. The term ‘Broadcast Services’ shall have the same meaning as that for “broadcasting” in § 3(6) of the Communications Act of 1934, i.e., the dissemination of radio communications intended to be received by the public, directly or by the intermediary of relay stations.” 47 U.S.C. § 153(6).

Radio Service

Item 10 Select all types of radio services that the Applicant plans to provide, as applicable. Broadcast Auxiliary applicants should select Fixed or Mobile, not Broadcast Services.

Item 11 Indicate whether the Applicant plans to provide service interconnected to the public telephone network as defined in the FCC rules. Enter ‘Y’ if ‘Y’. Otherwise, enter ‘N’.

Otherwise, enter ‘N’.

The initial grant date is the date that the license was originally granted by the Commission after an auction, even if the license was acquired in the secondary market. The initial grant date is not the date on which the Commission granted an assignment or transfer of control of the license.

If the response to this item is ‘Y’, the licenses may be subject to the FCC’s unjust enrichment rules. See Section 1.2111(d), (e) of the Commission’s Rules. If the response to 12a is ‘Y’, Schedule A must be completed.

Item 151a Enter ‘Y’ if the Applicant is required to file FCC Form 602, Ownership Disclosure Information for the Wireless Telecommunications Services. Otherwise, enter ‘N’.

Item 151b If the response to Item 151a is ‘Y’, enter the File Number of the FCC Form 602 that was filed in conjunction with this filing or already on file with the FCC.

Alien Ownership Questions

Alien Ownership

Pursuant to the Secondary Markets Order, the Commission requires that a Lessee/Sublessee, including a Lessee or Sublessee subsequent to a proposed transfer of control, meet the eligibility requirements that pertain to foreign ownership, as set forth in Section 310 of the Communications Act. See Secondary Markets Order, WT Docket No. 00-230, FCC 03-113, at ¶¶ 110,143. The following items enable the FCC to determine whether a Lessee/Sublessee, including a Lessee or Sublessee subsequent to a proposed transfer of control, is eligible under Section 310(a) and (b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to Lease/Sublease. If the application/notification is for the transfer of control of a lease or sublease, the foreign ownership of the post-transaction Lessee or Sublessee is evaluated. All Lessees/Sublessees and Post-Transfer Lessees/Sublessees filing an application/notification must answer Items 152-156. Any applicant that answers ‘Y’ to Items 153-156a must provide an attachment explaining the circumstances. The FCC will otherwise dismiss the application/notification without further consideration.

Item 152 All Transferees/Lessees/Sublessees filing an application/notification must answer Item 152. The FCC cannot grant an application/notification if the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-transfer Lessee/Sublessee is a foreign government or the representative of a foreign government. Therefore, if the true and correct answer to Item 152 is ‘Y’, the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-transfer Lessee/Sublessee is not eligible to enter into a Lease and the FCC will dismiss the application/notification, if filed, without further consideration.

Items 153-155 The FCC cannot grant an authorization to provide common carrier or broadcast service to any Lessee/Sublessee or Post-transfer Lessee/Sublessee for which the true and correct answer to any of Items 153 - 155 is ‘Y’. Any Applicant that answers ‘Y’ to any of Items 153-155 must provide an attachment explaining why the Lease that is the subject of the application/notification is exempt from the prohibitions contained in Section 310(b)(1)-(3) of the Communications Act of 1934. The FCC will otherwise dismiss the application/notification without further consideration.

Item 156a Enter ‘Y’ if the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-transfer Lessee/Sublessee is directly or indirectly controlled by any other corporation of which more than one-fourth of the capital stock is owned of record or voted by aliens, their representatives, or by a foreign government or representative thereof, or by any corporation organized under the laws of a foreign country. Otherwise, enter ‘N’. If the answer is ‘Y’, and if the Lease that is the subject of the application/notification allows for the provision of a common carrier or broadcast service, it is necessary for the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-transfer Lessee/Sublessee to have or obtain approval of the indirect foreign ownership of the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-transfer Lessee/Sublessee pursuant to Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934. Accordingly, any Lessee/Sublessee or Post-transfer Lessee/Sublessee that answers ‘Y’ to Items 156a must provide an attachment explaining the circumstances. The FCC will otherwise dismiss the application/notification without further consideration. In the attachment, the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-transfer Lessee/Sublessee must demonstrate either that (i) the subject Lease is exempt from the provisions of Section 310(b)(4), or (ii) allowing the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-transfer Lessee/Sublessee to hold the requested license is consistent with the Commission’s policies pursuant to Section 310(b)(4). If the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-transfer Lessee/Sublessee cannot demonstrate that the Lease is exempt from the provisions of Section 310(b)(4), it must include in its Section 310(b)(4) showing a description of the Lessee/Sublessee’s or Post-transfer Lessee/Sublessee’s indirect foreign ownership along with information regarding any approvals of the foreign ownership obtained from the Commission. In general, the Commission has indicated that there is a strong presumption that indirect foreign ownership of common carrier radio Licensees by entities whose home markets are in countries that are members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) does not raise competitive concerns. If more than 25 percent of the ownership of an entity that directly or indirectly controls a common carrier radio Licensee (or Lessee or Sublessee) is attributable to parties whose home markets are in non-WTO member countries, the presumption does not apply, and the Commission will evaluate whether those markets offer effective competitive opportunities to U.S. investors in the same service sector. See Rules and Policies on Foreign Participation in the U.S. Telecommunications Market, IB Docket No. 97-142, Report and Order and Oder on Reconsideration, FCC 97-398, 12 FCC Rcd 23,891 ¶¶ 97-118, 131 (1997). See also Secondary Markets Order, WT Docket No. 00-230, FCC 03-113, at ¶¶ 110, 143.

For additional guidance on how the Commission analyzes foreign ownership issues, see Foreign Ownership Guidelines for FCC Common Carrier and Aeronautical Radio Licenses, DA 04-3610, 19 FCC Rcd 22,612 (IB 2004) corrected by erratum, DA 06-1242, 21 FCC Rcd 6484 (IB 2006).

Item 156b Enter ‘Y’ if the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-transfer Lessee/Sublessee has received a ruling(s) under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act with respect to the same radio service(s) and geographic coverage area(s) involved in this application/notification. Otherwise, enter ‘N’.

If the answer to Item 156b is ‘Y’, include in the attachment required by Item 156a the citation(s) of the applicable declaratory ruling(s) by DA/FCC number, the FCC Record citation, if available, release date, and any other identifying information.

If the answer to Item 156b is ‘N’, attach as an exhibit, a date-stamped copy of the request for a foreign ownership ruling pursuant to Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934. It is not necessary to file a request for a foreign ownership ruling if the Applicant includes in the exhibit required by Item 156a a showing that the subject Lease is exempt from the provisions of Section 310(b)(4).

Items 184-190 In every application/notification, list the Call Sign(s) or Lease Identifier(s) of the License(s), Lease, or Sublease that are associated with the spectrum included in the proposed application/notification. There must be at least one Call Sign, Lease Identifier or Sublease Identifier entered in the column designated as Item 184. For example, if the filing is for a new Lease and the spectrum involved in the Lease is associated with three different Call Signs, all three call signs must be provided. Likewise, if the filing is for a new Sublease, each Lease Identifier must be provided. Additionally, if the application/notification is to revise existing Lease/Sublease terms, each Lease/Sublease Identifier must be provided.

In addition, if this is an application/notification for New Lease for a site-based License and the Lease does not encompass the entire License, use this section to identify the specific locations/paths to be leased (complete Items 186-190, as appropriate).

Item 184 In this item, list the Call Sign(s) or Lease Identifier(s) of the licenses that are associated with the Lease/Sublease. Call signs are located on FCC Authorizations. Lease/Sublease Identifiers are located on Lease Arrangement Letters.

Note: Providing locations without specifying which specific frequencies are to be leased for that location will result in all frequencies at that location being associated with the spectrum to be leased. Use Items 189 and 190 to specify which (if any) specific frequencies are to be included in the Lease.

Item 187 If the Lease does not encompass the entire License, in this item, list the path numbers to be included in the Lease (Microwave Site-based Services only). Path numbers are located on FCC authorizations.

Note: Providing paths without specifying which specific frequencies are to be leased for that path will result in all frequencies on that path being associated with the spectrum to be leased. Use Items 189 and 190 to specify which (if any) specific frequencies are to be included in the Lease.

Item 188 If the Lease does not encompass the entire License or all frequencies at a particular location or path, in this item list the frequency number to be included in the Lease. Frequency numbers are located on FCC authorizations.
