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 Services, 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 CFR §§ 1.9001 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, 18 FCC Rcd 20604, 20643-44, paras. 84-85, n.181 (2003) (Secondary Markets First Report and Order); 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, 19 FCC Rcd 17503, 17529-36, paras. 53-66 (2004) (Secondary Markets Second Report and Order).



Shape1 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.


Shape2 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, Sublease, or Private Commons Arrangement, 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.


Shape3 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 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 47 CFR § 1.948.) 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

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 CFR §§ 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) with the Commission prior to commencement of operations under the Lease that provides specified information about and certifications by both the Licensee and Lessee.


If a Licensee proposes to enter into a De Facto Transfer Lease with a Lessee, both parties are required to file jointly 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 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 arrangement, 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.

Potential lessees must file a new certification if any of the required information changes.


A Light Touch Leasing Certification must include the Main Form with the attachment question (item 5), waiver questions (items 8a & 8b), lessee information (items 45, 46, 48 – 72), alien ownership questions (items 154 – 158b), basic qualification questions (Items 159 – 161), and lessee signature (items 166 – 169).


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 Secondary Markets Second Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd at 17549-53, paras. 91-99; 47 CFR § 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.

Fees and Waivers

Exemption from Application Fees

Item 6 This item notifies the FCC that the Applicant is exempt from FCC application fees. If the response is ‘Y’, an exhibit demonstrating the Applicant’s eligibility for exemption from FCC application fees must be submitted with this filing. For additional information regarding an Applicant’s eligibility to be exempt from FCC application fees, see the current Fee Filing Guide or call (877) 480-3201 (TTY 717-338-2824).


Waiver/Deferral of Fees

Item 7 If a request for waiver/deferral of the FCC application fees has been filed with the FCC, enter ‘Y’ and attach the date- stamped copy of the request filed with the Commission’s Office of the Managing Director as an exhibit. Otherwise, enter ‘N’.


Waiver of Commission Rules

Item 8a If the filing includes a request for waiver of the Commission’s Rules (other than FCC application fee waivers), enter ‘Y’ and attach an exhibit specifying the rule section(s) for which a waiver is being requested and including a justification for the requested waiver. Otherwise, enter ‘N’.


Item 8b If the response to 8a is ‘Y’, provide the number of rule sections involved (do not enter the actual rule section(s)).


Regulatory Status and Offerings

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 leased 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).


If the Applicant is modifying the type of radio service offerings it provides (i.e., changing from one radio service offering to another), please provide an exhibit explaining the modification.


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

Alien Ownership Questions

Alien Ownership

Pursuant to the Secondary Markets First Report and 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 of 1934, as amended. See Secondary Markets First Report and Order, 18 FCC Rcd at 20653, 20665-66, paras. 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 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 154-158. Any applicant that answers ‘Y’ to Items 155-158a must provide an attachment explaining the circumstances. The FCC will otherwise dismiss the application/notification without further consideration.


The Commission’s foreign ownership rules for common carrier, aeronautical en route and aeronautical fixed radio station licensees are codified in Sections 1.990 through 1.994 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 CFR §§ 1.990-1.994. See also Review of Foreign Ownership Policies for Common Carrier and Aeronautical Radio Licensees under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, Second Report and Order, 28 FCC Rcd 5741 (2013) (Foreign Ownership Second Report and Order). The foreign ownership rules will be renumbered and codified in Sections 1.5000 through 1.5004 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR s 1.5000-1.5004, subject to OMB approval, in accordance with the Commission's decision in Review of Foreign Ownership Policies for Broadcast, Common Carrier and Aeronautical Radio Licensees under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, GN Docket No. 15-236, FCC 16-128, 31 FCC Rcd 11272 (2016).


Item 154 All Transferees/Lessees/Sublessees filing an application/notification must answer Item 154. 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 154 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 155-156 The FCC cannot grant an authorization to provide common carrier service to any Lessee/Sublessee or Post- Transfer Lessee/Sublessee for which the true and correct answer to either of Items 155 or 156 is ‘Y’. Any Applicant that answers ‘Y’ to either of Items 155 or 156 must provide an attachment explaining why the Lease(s) that is the subject of the application/notification is exempt from the prohibitions contained in § 310(b)(1)-(2) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(1)-(2). The FCC will otherwise dismiss the application/notification without further consideration.


Item 157 Enter ‘Y’ if the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee is a corporation of which more than one-fifth of the capital stock is owned of record or voted by aliens or 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(s) that is the subject of the application/notification allows for the provision of a common carrier service, it is necessary for the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee to have or obtain Commission approval. See 47 CFR § 1.990(a)(2). See also Secondary Markets First Report and Order, 18 FCC Rcd at 20653, 20665-66, paras. 110, 143.


While Section 310(b)(3) of the Communications Act prohibits foreign individuals, governments, and corporations from owning more than 20 percent of the capital stock of a broadcast, common carrier, aeronautical en route, and aeronautical fixed radio station licensee, the Commission has determined that it will not apply the 20 percent limit to common carrier licensees in which the foreign investment is held in the licensee through U.S.-organized entities that do not control the licensee, to the extent the Commission determines such foreign ownership is consistent with the public interest. In making a public interest determination, the Commission applies the same policies and procedures that it applies in reviewing foreign ownership that is subject to Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act. The Commission adopted this Section 310(b)(3) “forbearance” approach in the Foreign Ownership First Report and Order, IB Docket No. 11-133, 27 FCC Rcd 9832 (2012). The Commission codified the forbearance approach in the Foreign Ownership Second Report and Order, 28 FCC Rcd at 5759-63, paras. 30-37.

FCC Form 608 Main Form Instructions

XXXXXXXX Page 19

The Commission’s Section 310(b)(3) forbearance approach applies only to foreign equity and voting interests that are held, or would be held, in the common carrier Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee through one or more intervening U.S.-organized entities that do not control the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee. Foreign equity and/or voting interests that are held, or would be held, directly in the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee, or indirectly other than through an intervening U.S.-organized entity, are not subject to the Commission’s Section 310(b)(3) forbearance approach and shall not be permitted to exceed 20 percent equity or voting interests.


Accordingly, any Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee that answers ‘Y’ to Item 157 must provide an attachment consisting of one of the showings specified in (i), (ii), or (iii) below. The FCC will otherwise dismiss the application/notification without further consideration.


  1. A demonstration that the subject Lease(s) is exempt from the provisions of Section 310(b)(3);


  1. A statement that the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee has received prior Commission approval of its foreign ownership pursuant to the Commission’s Section 310(b)(3) forbearance approach, citation(s) to the relevant declaratory ruling(s) received by the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee (i.e., DA or FCC Number, FCC Record citation if available, and release date), and a statement specifying that the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee is in compliance with the terms and conditions of its ruling and with the Commission’s Rules; or


  1. A copy of a petition for declaratory ruling filed pursuant to Section 1.990(a)(2) of the Commission’s Rules, 47 CFR § 1.990(a)(2), requesting Commission approval of the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee’s foreign ownership, held through one or more intervening U.S.-organized entities that hold non-controlling equity and/or voting interests in the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee, along with any foreign interests held in the Lessee/Sublessee or Post- Transfer Lessee/Sublessee directly (which shall not exceed 20 percent of its equity interests and/or 20 percent of its voting interests). The petition may be filed electronically on the Internet through the International Bureau Filing System (IBFS) and shall otherwise comport with the requirements of Sections 1.990 through 1.994 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 CFR §§ 1.990-1.994.


With respect to the showing specified in (ii) above, a Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee that is relying on a foreign ownership ruling(s) issued to an “affiliate” pursuant to the Commission’s Section 310(b)(3) forbearance approach and Section 1.990(a)(2) of the Rules shall include in its showing a certification signed by the affiliate, a U.S.-organized successor- in-interest formed as part of a pro forma reorganization, or a controlling parent company, stating that the affiliate or successor- in-interest is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the foreign ownership ruling(s) and the Commission’s Rules. See 47 CFR § 1.994(b). See also 47 CFR § 1.990(d)(2) (defining the term “affiliate” for purposes of Sections 1.990-1.994 of the Rules).


Item 158a Enter ‘Y’ if the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee is directly or indirectly controlled by any other U.S.-organized entity of which more than one-fourth of the capital stock is owned of record or voted by aliens or 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(s) that is the subject of the application/notification allows for the provision of a common carrier service, it is necessary for the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee to have or obtain Commission approval of the foreign ownership of its direct and/or indirect controlling U.S.- organized parent company(ies) pursuant to Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4). See 47

CFR § 1.990(a)(1); Foreign Ownership Second Report and Order, 28 FCC Rcd at 5759-63, paras. 30-37. See also Secondary Markets First Report and Order, 18 FCC Rcd at 20653, 20665-66, paras. 110, 143.


Accordingly, any Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee that answers ‘Y’ to Item 158a must provide an attachment consisting of one of the showings specified in (i), (ii), or (iii) below. The FCC will otherwise dismiss the application/notification without further consideration.

(IBFS) and shall otherwise comport with the requirements of Sections 1.990 through 1.994 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 CFR §§ 1.990-1.994.


With respect to the showing specified in (ii) above, a Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee that is relying on a foreign ownership ruling(s) issued to an “affiliate” pursuant to Section 310(b)(4) of the Act and Section 1.990(a)(1) of the Rules shall include in its showing a certification signed by the affiliate, a U.S.-organized successor-in-interest formed as part of a pro forma reorganization, or a controlling parent company, stating that the affiliate or successor-in-interest is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the foreign ownership ruling(s) and the Commission’s Rules. See 47 CFR § 1.994(b). See also § 1.990(d)(2) (defining the term “affiliate” for purposes of §§ 1.990-1.994 of the Rules).


Item 158b A Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee that has answered ‘Y’ to Item 157 and/or Item 158a is required to respond to Item 158b. Item 158b has two purposes. First, Item 158b enables the FCC to determine whether the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee has attached to its application/notification the appropriate foreign ownership showing required by the Commission’s Foreign Ownership Second Report and Order, 28 FCC Rcd 5741, and the foreign ownership rules adopted in that Order, 47 CFR §§ 1.990-1.994. See Main Form Instructions for Item 157 and Item 158a.


Second, Item 158b enables the FCC to determine whether the application/notification may be eligible for the “immediate approval” procedures in Sections 1.9030(e) or 1.9035(e) of the Rules, 47 CFR §§ 1.9030(e) and 1.9035(e), or for the “immediate processing” procedures in Section 1.9020(e) of the Rules, 47 CFR § 1.9020(e).


The application/notification may be eligible for the Commission’s immediate approval/immediate processing procedures if the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee is able to select the first or second option in Item 158b. Specifically, the application/notification may be eligible for the Commission’s immediate approval/immediate processing procedures where the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee is able to certify that: (1) it is exempt from the provisions of Section 310(b); or (2) it has received a declaratory ruling(s) approving its foreign ownership, and the application/notification involves only the acquisition/use of additional spectrum for the provision of a wireless service in a geographic coverage area for which the Lessee/Sublessee or Post-Transfer Lessee/Sublessee has been previously authorized. See Foreign Ownership Second Report and Order, 28 FCC Rcd at 5792-93, 5799, paras. 96, 110.

Est. Avg. Burden

Information and Instructions Per Response: 5 hours


Instructions for Schedule for Licensees that Received Bidding Credits or

Involving Licenses Won in Closed Bidding FCC Form 608, Schedule A

Complete this schedule when a Lease/Sublease/Transfer of Control involves spectrum associated with a License(s) that was originally awarded through the competitive bidding process and the original Licensee or current Licensee obtained bidding credits, or closed bidding licenses. This schedule establishes whether the Lessee/Sublessee/Transferee is eligible for the same special provisions as the Licensee, or whether unjust enrichment provisions or other restrictions apply. 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 on page 8 of the Main Form Instructions.


Designated Entity Information


Bidding Credits

Items 1-3 require information from Licensees and Lessees/Sublessees/Transferees in those instances in which the Lease/Sublease involves spectrum associated with license(s) for which the Licensee is a “designated entity.” See 47 CFR §§ 1.2110-1.2112 (rules pertaining to designated entities); §§ 1.9020(d)(4), 1.9030(d)(4) (rules pertaining to leasing involving designated entities); and appropriate FCC competitive bidding rules and applicable service rules in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (47 CFR).


Item 1 Enter ‘Y’ if the full amount of bidding credits awarded with regard to each subject license has been paid as part of unjust enrichment payment(s) in previous transaction(s). Otherwise, enterN’. If the response to Item 1 is ‘Y’, Items 2 and 3 are not required to be completed. If the response to Item 1 is ‘N’, complete Item 2 or 3, as appropriate.


Bidding Credits (Spectrum Manager Leases/Subleases Only)

Item 2 Item 2 must be completed for each Application/Notification for a Spectrum Manager Lease/Sublease in which the Licensee has “designated entity” status if the Applicant entered No in Item 1. In general, for purposes of determining whether a Licensee retains its overall eligibility for a small business bidding credit, the gross revenues of the Licensee, its “controlling interest(s),” and any “affiliate(s)” of the Licensee or of any of its controlling interest(s) are considered on a cumulative basis and aggregated. For purposes of determining whether a Licensee retains its eligibility for a rural service provider bidding credit, the subscribers of the Licensee, its “controlling interest(s),” and any “affiliate(s)” of the Licensee or of any of its controlling interest(s) are considered on a cumulative basis and aggregated, and the Licensee must continue to serve predominantly rural areas. See 47 CFR §§ 1.2110(b), 1.2110(f)(2), 1.2110(f)(4), 1.2112(b). A “controlling interest” includes any individual or entity with either de jure or de facto control of the licensee. See § 1.2110(c)(2). An “affiliate” includes any individual or entity holding an attributable interest in the licensee as set forth in § 1.2110(c)(5). For purposes of determining whether the Licensee has retained the requisite degree of ownership and control over the leased spectrum in order to remain eligible for the license or for bidding credits, the de jure control standard in Section 1.2110 and the de facto control standard in Section 1.9010 will be applied (pursuant to the conditions set forth in Section 1.9020). See Updating Part 1 Competitive Bidding Rules, Report and Order; Order on Reconsideration of the First Report and Order; Third Order on Reconsideration of the Second Report and Order; Third Report and Order, 30 FCC Rcd 7493, 7510-11, paras. 35-39 (2015).

(b) For the Applicant, indicate the percentage of spectrum capacity it has an agreement to use for each subject license.


Subscriber counts should be current as of the date of filing this application. The Applicant, and other reporting entities, should count a subscriber only once even if that subscriber receives more than one service from the Applicant or entity. For example, a subscriber receiving both wireline service and broadband from the Applicant would be counted as a single subscriber of the Applicant.


FIPS numbers are available from the US Census Bureau and identified by the Commission as needed (see, e.g., Appendix B of Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Provides Details about Partial Economic Areas, GN Docket No. 12-268, 29 FCC Rcd 6491, 6502 (2014)).

(b) For the Applicant, indicate the percentage of spectrum capacity it has an agreement to use for each subject license.


Subscriber counts should be current as of the date of filing this application. The Applicant, and other reporting entities, should count a subscriber only once even if that subscriber receives more than one service from the Applicant or entity. For example, a subscriber receiving both wireline service and broadband from the Applicant would be counted as a single subscriber of the Applicant.


FIPS numbers are available from the US Census Bureau and identified by the Commission as needed (see, e.g., Appendix B of Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Provides Details about Partial Economic Areas, GN Docket No. 12-268, 29 FCC Rcd 6491, 6502 (2014)).


Note that payment of any required unjust enrichment must be provided to the Commission prior to grant/acceptance of the Application/Notification.

Item 2 This item must be completed. If the location has been previously licensed by the FCC under this lease or sublease, enter its FCC-assigned location number. For a new location, assign a temporary code to represent the location. This temporary code should begin with ‘L’ to indicate it is a location and end with a number to uniquely identify it (e.g., L1, L2, L3, etc.). The FCC will assign an official number to the new location.


Items 3 and 4 This item must be completed. Enter the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the location.


Enter the latitude using the format DD-MM-SS, where the degrees (DD) term can have a value in the range of 0 to 72, minutes (MM) can range from 0 to 59, and seconds (SS) can range from 0 to 59.9. If desired, seconds can be rounded to the nearest tenth of a second (in which case, use the format DD-MM-SS.S). In the right corner, specify the direction as either N for North or S for South.

Instructions for Schedule for Defined Geographic Area To Be Leased (Geographically-Licensed Services)

FCC Form 608, Schedule F

Schedule F is a supplementary schedule used in conjunction with Schedule B for a New Lease when geographically licensed authorizations are involved in the Lease and only a portion of the licensed spectrum and/or only a portion of the licensed geographic area will be leased (the entire spectrum and the entire geographic area are not included in the Lease).


Call Sign

Item 1 Enter the Call Sign of the spectrum associated with the Lease.


Geographic Area of Spectrum To Be Included in Lease

Item 2 If the area to be leased is defined according to the FCC rules, enter its description under Item 2. To obtain a list and description of defined areas, refer to the FCC Public Notice for the auction. For information regarding electronic filings, please refer to DA 15-1250.


In some cases, more than one geographic area exists with the same name in the same state (e.g., an independent city with the same name as a county in the same state). To indicate these independent cities, you must enter its 5 digit FIPS code (2-digit state FIPS code + 3-digit county FIPS code). For example, in Virginia there is a Fairfax County and a Fairfax City. Fairfax City is an independent city and is not affiliated with Fairfax County. To indicate the city of Fairfax, you must enter its FIPS code, 51600, as shown in the table below. To indicate the county of Fairfax, you could enter its FIPS code or ‘Fairfax, VA.’ For a listing of FIPS codes, refer to http://www.census.gov/geo/reference/codes/cou.html.


Item 3 If the area to be leased is undefined, describe its periphery by completing the Undefined Geographic Area Schedule, FCC Form 608, Schedule G. Assign a unique number to each copy of Schedule G that is filed and enter that unique number in Item 3 of this Schedule F.


Item 4 Enter the population of the leased area.


Frequencies of Spectrum To Be Included in Lease (MHz)

Item 5 Authorized spectrum blocks can be leased by assigning one or more frequency blocks. To indicate a frequency, enter its lower value in MHz in the Lower Frequency field and enter its upper value in MHz in the Upper Frequency field. In this table, complete as many entries as you need to indicate the spectrum being leased. For Priority Access Licenses (Radio Service PL), enter the lower and upper limits of the spectrum to be leased. The difference between the upper limit and the lower limit represents the amount of bandwidth leased from the Priority Access License. Specific operating frequencies will be assigned by the SAS Administrator prior to commencing operations.

Instructions for 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

FCC Form 608, Schedule I

Schedule I is a supplementary schedule that is used to provide information regarding a Private Commons Arrangement. This includes information pertaining to (a) a new Private Commons arrangement, (b) a modification or revision of the terms and conditions, technical requirements and approved equipment, and/or types of communications uses allowed, (c) a revision to extend the term of an existing Private Commons arrangement, or (d) a revision to cancel an existing Private Commons arrangement. A single Schedule I is used for all of the Call Signs, Lease Identifier(s) or Private Commons Identifier(s) listed in Item 182 of the Main Form. 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 on page 8 of the Main Form Instructions.


Private Commons Information

A Private Commons arrangement is distinct from a spectrum leasing arrangement. 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 involve peer-to-peer communications and do not use 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. See generally Secondary Markets Second Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd at 17549-53, paras. 91-99; 47 CFR § 1.9080. Pursuant to the Secondary Markets Second Report and Order, a Licensee, Lessee, or Sublessee that establishes a Private Commons Arrangement is required to provide notification to the Commission, prior to commencement of operations under such arrangement, and also must provide exhibits describing certain details (set forth below) about the nature of this arrangement. Only the Licensee, Lessee or Sublessee that exercises de facto control over the use of the spectrum associated with the Private Commons arrangement may establish such an arrangement. As manager of the Private Common arrangement, this Licensee, Lessee or Sublessee also must exercise certain responsibilities to ensure that the users comply with the technical and service rules applicable to the license authorization. See id.


If this notification involves a new Private Commons arrangement, or it involves a modification or revision of an existing Private Commons arrangement (i.e., a modification of the terms and conditions, technical requirements and approved equipment, and/or types of communications uses allowed under an existing Private Commons arrangement, request to extend the term or request to cancel an existing arrangement), the following questions must be answered and certain exhibits (described below) provided.


General Terms and Conditions

A Licensee, Lessee, or Sublessee establishing and managing a Private Commons arrangement must provide relevant information pertaining to the general terms and conditions of the arrangement with the class of third-party users that would be employing advanced communications technologies involving peer-to-peer devices. Attach an exhibit describing the general terms and conditions of this Private Commons arrangement, including a description of the conditions for spectrum access placed on users.


Technical Requirements and Approved Equipment

A Licensee, Lessee, or Sublessee establishing and managing a Private Commons arrangement is responsible for establishing the technical and operating terms and conditions of use of users of the Private Commons, including those relating to the types of communications devices that may be used within the Private Commons. Attach an exhibit describing these technical requirements and the equipment approved for use in the Private Commons.


Types of Communications Uses Allowed

A Licensee, Lessee, or Sublessee establishing and managing a Private Commons also is required to describe the types of communications uses that are to be allowed by third-party users in the Private Commons. Attach an exhibit describing these types of uses.


Item 1 Enter ’Y’ if the Licensee, Lessee, or Sublessee that will be managing the Private Commons arrangement designed the arrangement to provide access to spectrum by users employing peer-to-peer technologies that do not involve use of the License’s, Lessee’s or Sublessee’s end-to-end physical network infrastructure and are not intended to be used for the provision of network-based services to end-users. Otherwise enter ’N’.

If the response to Item 1 is ’Y’, attach the following exhibits: (1) an exhibit describing the general terms and conditions of the Private Commons arrangement, including a description of the conditions for spectrum access placed on users; (2) an exhibit describing 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; and (3) an exhibit describing the types of communications uses that are to be allowed by users in the Private Commons.


License Authorizations/Lease Identifiers/Private Commons Identifiers (Complete as many Schedule I’s as necessary)

Item 2 Enter each Call Sign, Lease Identifier, Sublease Identifier, or Private Commons Identifier shown in Item 182 of the Main Form.


Item 3 Enter the Radio Service Code for each Call Sign, Lease Identifier, Sublease Identifier, or Private Commons Identifier entered in Item 2.


Item 4 Indicate whether the Private Commons arrangement encompasses the entire geographic area covered by the licensed or leased spectrum listed in response to Item 2. If less than the entire geographic area, provide an exhibit with a complete description of the area(s) in which users under the Private Commons arrangement will be permitted to operate.


Item 5 If the filing is for either a New Private Commons Arrangement or Modification of an existing Private Commons arrangement, enter in item 5 the commencement date (MM/DD/YYYY) of this New or Modified Private Commons Arrangement for each Call Sign, Lease Identifier, Sublease Identifier, or Private Commons Identifier entered in Item 2.


Item 6 If the filing is for either a New Private Commons Arrangement or Modification of an existing Private Commons arrangement, enter the date (MM/DD/YYYY) the New or Modified Private Commons arrangement is due to expire for each Call Sign, Lease Identifier, Sublease Identifier, or Private Commons Identifier entered in Item 2.


Item 7 If the filing is for a revision to extend the term of an existing Private Commons arrangement, enter the revised date (MM/DD/YYYY) the Private Commons arrangement is now due to expire for each Lease Identifier, Sublease Identifier or Private Commons Identifier entered in Item 2.


Item 8 If the filing is for a revision to cancel an existing Private Commons arrangement, enter the date (MM/DD/YYYY) the Private Commons arrangement will be terminated for each Lease Identifier, Sublease Identifier, or Private Commons Identifier entered in Item 2. If the Private Commons Arrangement never commenced, check the box and do not provide the date.
