General Instructions

Purpose of Form

FCC Form 603 is a multi-purpose form. It is used to request approval for an Assignment of Authorization (Assignment) or Transfer of Control (Transfer) involving licenses in the Wireless Radio Services. This form is also used to provide notification of a consummated Assignment or Transfer that has previously been consented to by the FCC or for which notification but not prior consent is required. The data collected on the form is used by the FCC to determine whether the public interest would be served by approval of the requested Assignment or Transfer.

Each application, amendment, or other request must contain only one Main Form but may contain as few or as many of the optional schedules as necessary.

Main Form

The purpose of the Main Form is to obtain information sufficient to identify the parties to the proposed Assignment or Transfer, establish the parties' eligibility and qualifications for entering into the Assignment or Transfer, and classify the filing. The Main Form also contains the required certifications and signature blocks for both the Assignor/Transferor and the Assignee/Transferee. The Main Form is required with every filing.

(Note: The FCC Registration Number must be completed on the Main Form for all application purposes.)

Schedules

In addition to the Main Form, which is required with every filing, completion of certain schedule(s) may also be required. The purposes of the optional 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 Defined Geographic Areas To Be Partitioned or for Spectrum To Be Disaggregated) This schedule is used for Assignment applications in geographically-licensed services that involve partitioning of the licensed area or disaggregation of the licensed spectrum. This schedule must be used when the partitioned area involves FCC-defined geographic boundaries (i.e., FCC licensing boundaries (Major Trading Areas (MTAs), Basic Trading Areas (BTAs), etc.) or county boundaries.

Schedule C (Schedule for Undefined Geographic Areas To Be Partitioned) This schedule is used for Assignment applications in geographically-licensed services that involve partitioning of the licensed area when the partitioned area cannot be described using FCC-defined geographic boundaries or county boundaries. This schedule must be used to provide the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) that depict the periphery of the partitioned area.

Schedule D (Schedule for Notification of Consummation of an Assignment of Authorization or a Transfer of Control) This schedule is used to notify the FCC that a previously consented to Assignment or Transfer has been consummated.

Schedule E (Schedule for Request for Extension of Time To Consummate an Assignment of Authorization or a Transfer of Control) This schedule is used to request additional time to consummate a previously consented to Assignment or Transfer that the parties will not consummate in the time previously allotted to them by the FCC.

Types of Filings

Assignment of Authorization

An Assignment of Authorization involves a change in the identity of the holder of the License and generally entails the changing of the Licensee’s name. Designated Entities, as defined in Section 1.2110(a), must comply with Sections 1.2110 and 1.2111 when seeking to assign control of an authorization.

For an Assignment, the Assignor must request approval using FCC Form 603 and generally must receive prior consent (unless the Assignment is Involuntary or a post-consummation notification of a pro forma Assignment) from the FCC before assigning its authorization(s). For additional information regarding Assignments that can be filed without receiving prior consent from the FCC, see the sections titled Involuntary Transactions and Post-Consummation Notifications of Pro Forma Transactions.

Both the Assignor and Assignee must sign the form. In addition, if required pursuant to Section 1.919 of the Commission’s Rules, the Assignee must file FCC Form 602, FCC Ownership Disclosure Information for the Wireless Telecommunications Services, unless a current and up-to-date FCC Form 602 is already on file at the FCC. For information regarding the filing of FCC Form 602, see Sections 1.919, 1.2112 of the Commission’s Rules.

Full Assignment of Authorization

When the authorization for all of the facilities of a station or market is assigned, this is called a “Full” Assignment of Authorization. To apply for a full Assignment, the Assignor must complete the Authorizations To Be Assigned or Transferred section on the Main Form by providing the Call Sign and Radio Service Code for each of the authorizations that are being assigned.

Partial Assignment of Authorization

When the authorization for some, but not all, of the facilities of a station or market is assigned, this is called a “Partial” Assignment of Authorization.

To apply for a partial Assignment of a geographically-licensed authorization, the Assignor must complete the Authorizations To Be Assigned or Transferred section on the Main Form by providing the Call Sign and Radio Service Code for each of the authorizations that are being assigned as well as complete Schedule B and, if applicable, Schedule C.

To apply for a partial Assignment of a site-specific authorization, the Assignor must complete the Authorizations To Be Assigned or Transferred section on the Main Form by providing the Call Sign and Radio Service Code for each of the authorizations that are being assigned as well as complete other portions of the Authorizations To Be Assigned or Transferred section to fully describe the partial Assignment.

Transfer of Control

A Transfer of Control involves (1) a change from less than 50 percent ownership to 50 percent or more ownership of a Licensee or (2) the transfer of controlling interest in the ownership of a Licensee to another party or parties. See Section 1.948(b) of the Commission’s Rules. A Transfer of Control involves a transfer of controlling interest in ownership but generally does not involve the changing of the Licensee’s name. Refer to the applicable FCC rules and decisions for definitions of controlling interest and ownership. Designated Entities, as defined in Section 1.2110(a), must comply with Sections 1.2110 and 1.2111 when seeking to transfer control.

For a Transfer, the Transferor must request approval using FCC Form 603 and generally must receive prior consent (unless the Transfer is Involuntary or a post-consummation notification of a pro forma Transfer) from the FCC before transferring control of the Licensee’s authorization(s). For additional information regarding Transfers that can be filed without receiving prior consent from the FCC, see the sections titled Involuntary Transactions and Post-Consummation Notifications of Pro Forma Transactions.

Both the Transferor and Transferee must sign the form. In addition, if required pursuant to Section 1.919 of the Commission’s Rules, the Transferee must file FCC Form 602, FCC Ownership Disclosure Information for the Wireless Telecommunications Services, unless a current and up-to-date FCC Form 602 is already on file at the FCC.

Involuntary Transactions

An Involuntary Assignment or Transfer involves the death or legal disability of a Licensee, a member of a partnership, or a person directly or indirectly in control of a corporation that is a Licensee. An application for an Involuntary Assignment or Transfer (Item 7 must be ‘Y’, Item 8a must be ‘Involuntary’ and a date must be provided in Item 8b) must be filed within 30 days after the occurrence of such death or legal disability. For additional information, see Section 1.948(g) of the Commission’s Rules. Note: Involuntary applications should also be filed when a Licensee declares bankruptcy.

Post-Consummation Notifications of Pro Forma Transactions

In the case of a non-substantial (pro forma) Assignment or Transfer involving a telecommunications carrier, as defined in Section 153(44) of the Communications Act, prior consent by the FCC is not required provided that the affected license(s) are not subject to unjust enrichment provisions, the Assignment or Transfer does not involve a proxy contest, and the Assignor/Transferor provides notice of the transaction (Item 7 must be ‘Y’, Item 8a must be ‘Voluntary’, Item 9a must be ‘Y’, Item 9b must be ‘Y’ and a date must be provided in Item 9c) within 30 days of completion of the Assignment or Transfer. For additional information, see Section 1.948(c)(1) of the Commission’s Rules.

Notification of Consummation

For an Assignment, the Assignee must sign and submit the FCC Form 603 Main Form and Schedule D within the prescribed time frame outlined below under the section titled 180-Day Period. For a Transfer, the Transferee must sign and submit the FCC Form 603 Main Form and Schedule D within the prescribed time frame outlined below under the section titled 180-Day Period. Note: Notifications of consummation do not have to be filed for post-consummation notifications of a pro forma Assignment or Transfer, or Involuntary Assignment or Transfer.

Note: If parties do not wish to consummate the transaction, the Assignor (for an Assignment) or the Transferor (for a Transfer) may submit an application to withdraw a previously consented to application.

Extension of Time To Consummate

For an Assignment, the Assignor must sign and submit the FCC Form 603 Main Form and Schedule E within the prescribed time frame outlined below under the section titled One Hundred and Eighty-Day Period. For a Transfer, the Transferor must sign and submit the FCC Form 603 Main Form and Schedule E within the prescribed time frame outlined below under the section titled One Hundred and Eighty-Day Period.

180. Day Period

Assignments and Transfers must be consummated and notification provided to the Commission within 180 days of the date of public notice of the FCC consent, and a Notification of Consummation (Main Form and Schedule D) must be filed no later than 30 days after the actual consummation date, unless an Extension of Time To Consummate (Main Form and Schedule E) is filed prior to the expiration of this 180- day period.

Note: If an Assignment or Transfer is not consummated within 180 days of public notice of approval and a timely filed Notification of Consummation is not submitted or a timely filed request for an Extension of Time to Consummate is not submitted, FCC consent to that transaction is no longer valid.

Item 3a Enter ‘Y’ if this application is one in a series of related applications involving other wireless licenses. Otherwise, enter ‘N’.

The purpose of this item is to indicate whether the proposed transaction involves other wireless licenses not listed on this filing that are held by the Licensee, affiliates of the Licensee, or third parties (e.g., spectrum swaps or multi-party transactions). For this purpose, "affiliates" is defined in Section 1.2110(a)(4) of the Commission’s Rules, and includes parents, subsidiaries, or commonly-controlled entities. Where a transaction involves the Assignment or Transfer of multiple licenses held by a single Licensee, a single form should be filed whenever possible. Where a transaction involves the Assignment or Transfer of licenses by affiliated Licensees or third-party Licensees, a separate form must be filed for each Licensee. Parties who seek to assign or transfer licenses as part of a larger transaction or plan on filing multiple applications are strongly encouraged to contact the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau in advance of filing this form.

Item 3b If the response to 3a is ‘Y’ and this filing is the lead application, enter ‘Y’. Otherwise, enter ‘N’.

Item 3c If the response to 3b is ‘N’, provide the File Number of the lead application for this transaction. The lead application should contain an exhibit fully describing the proposed transaction. Any additional applications included as part of the proposed transaction must cross-reference this exhibit unless each additional application also includes the exhibit fully describing the proposed transaction.

Item 3d Enter ‘Y’ if the transaction that is the subject of this filing also involves the Assignment or Transfer of non-wireless licenses or authorizations for which Commission approval or notification is required (e.g., Section 214 authorizations, wireline or media authorizations).

Item 4 Enter ‘Y’ if attachments (other than associated schedules) are being filed with this application. Otherwise, enter ‘N’.

Note: Section 310(d) of the Communications Act requires the Commission to determine that the public interest, convenience, and necessity would be served by the proposed Assignment or Transfer. To enable the Commission to make this determination, Applicants may in some instances be required to provide, by means of an attachment, additional information not specifically requested elsewhere on FCC Form 603 to establish the qualifications of the Assignee or Transferee or to otherwise demonstrate that the proposed transaction is in the public interest. The burden is on the Applicants to determine whether such additional information is necessary under Section 310(d) in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction. For example, if: 1) the application involves a non-pro forma Assignment or Transfer of a license in a subscriber-based service, and 2) the proposed Assignee or Transferee, its parent or any affiliate, directly or indirectly owns, controls, or holds an attributable interest in any other entity authorized to provide FCC-regulated subscriber-based services in a geographic area that overlaps the service area of a license that is the subject of the proposed Assignment or Transfer, the Applicants should generally file an attachment with their FCC Form 603 setting forth the factual circumstances and describing how the proposed transaction meets the public interest standard of Section 310(d). Applicants seeking further guidance on this issue are encouraged to contact the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau in advance of filing FCC Form 603.

Alien Ownership Questions

These items enable the FCC to determine whether an Applicant is eligible under Section 310(a) and (b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to hold or have ownership interests in a License. The Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee is required to answer these questions only if it is filing FCC Form 603 for one of the following purposes indicated in Item 1: Assignment of Authorization or Transfer of Control. An Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee using FCC Form 603 for any other purpose is not required to answer these questions. Any applicant that answers ‘Y’ to Items 99 – 103a must provide an attachment explaining the circumstances. The FCC will otherwise dismiss the Application 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 C.F.R. §§ 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, IB Docket No. 11-133, Second Report and Order, FCC 13-50, 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 99 The Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee filing FCC Form 603 for one of the purposes indicated above must answer Item 97. The FCC cannot grant an authorization to a foreign government or the representative of a foreign government. Therefore, if the true and correct answer to Item 95 is ‘Y’, Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee is not eligible to hold a license and the FCC will dismiss the application without further consideration.

Items 100-101 The FCC cannot grant an authorization to provide common carrier or aeronautical en route service to any Applicant for which the true and correct answer to either of Items 98 or 99 is ‘Y’. Any Applicant that answers ‘Y’ to either of Items 98 or 99 must provide an attachment explaining why the License(s) that is the subject of the application 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 without further consideration.

Item 102 Enter ‘Y’ if the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee 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 any license(s) to be transferred or assigned would allow for the provision of a common carrier service, it is necessary for the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee to have or obtain Commission approval. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.990(a)(2). If the answer is ‘Y’, and if any license(s) to be transferred or assigned would allow for the provision of aeronautical en route service, the Applicant must provide an attachment explaining why the requested license is exempt from the prohibitions contained in Section 310(b)(3) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(3). The FCC will otherwise dismiss the application without further consideration.

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, FCC 12-93, 27 FCC Rcd 9832 (2012). The Commission codified the forbearance approach in the Foreign Ownership Second Report and Order, IB Docket No. 11-133, FCC 13-50 at ¶¶ 30-37.

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 Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee through one or more intervening U.S.-organized entities that do not control the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee. Foreign equity and/or voting interests that are held, or would be held, directly in the Assignee/Post- Transfer Licensee, 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, if any license to be transferred or assigned would allow for the provision of a common carrier service, an Assignee/Post- Transfer Licensee that answers ‘Y’ to Item 100 must provide an attachment consisting of one of the showings specified in (i), (ii), or (iii) below. The FCC will otherwise dismiss the application without further consideration.

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

2. A statement that the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee 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 Assignee/Post- Transfer Licensee (i.e., DA or FCC Number, FCC Record citation if available, and release date), and a statement specifying that the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee is in compliance with the terms and conditions of its ruling and with the Commission’s Rules; or

3. A copy of a petition for declaratory ruling filed pursuant to Section 1.990(a)(2) of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.990(a)(2), requesting Commission approval of the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee’s foreign ownership, held through one or more intervening U.S.- organized entities that hold non-controlling equity and/or voting interests in the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee, along with any foreign interests held in the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee 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 C.F.R. §§ 1.990-1.994.

With respect to the showing specified in (ii) above, an Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee 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 Section 1.994(b) of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.994(b). See also Section 1.990(d)(2) (defining the term “affiliate” for purposes of Sections 1.990-1.994 of the Rules).

Item 103a Enter ‘Y’ if the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee 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 any license(s) to be transferred or assigned would allow for the provision of a common carrier or aeronautical en route service, it is necessary for the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee 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 C.F.R. § 1.990(a)(1); Foreign Ownership Second Report and Order, IB Docket No. 11-133, FCC13-50 ¶¶ 30-37.

Accordingly, any Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee that answers ‘Y’ to Item 103a must provide an attachment consisting of one of the showings specified in (i), (ii), or (iii) below. The FCC will otherwise dismiss the application without further consideration.

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 C.F.R. §§ 1.990-1.994.

With respect to the showing specified in (ii) above, an Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee 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.

Item 103b An Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee that has answered ‘Y’ to Item 102 and/or Item 103a is required to respond to Item 103b. Item 103b has two purposes. First, Item 103b enables the FCC to determine whether the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee has attached to its application the appropriate foreign ownership showing required by the Commission’s Foreign Ownership Second Report and Order, IB Docket No. 11-133, FCC 13-50 and the foreign ownership rules adopted in that Order, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.990-1.994. See Main Form Instructions for Item 102 and Item 103a.

Second, Item 103b enables the FCC to determine whether the application may be eligible for the “immediate approval” procedures in Section 1.948(j)(2) of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.948(j)(2).

The application may be eligible for the Commission’s immediate approval procedures if the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee is able to select the first or second option in Item 103b. Specifically, the application may be eligible for the Commission’s immediate approval procedures where the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee 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 involves only the acquisition of additional spectrum for the provision of a wireless service in a geographic coverage area for which the Assignee/Post-Transfer Licensee has been previously authorized. See Foreign Ownership Second Report and Order, IB Docket No. 11-133, FCC13-50 ¶¶ 96, 110.

Complete this schedule when an Assignment or Transfer involves a license(s) that was originally awarded through the competitive bidding process and the original Licensee or current Licensee obtained bidding credits, or was otherwise subject to special provisions applicable to entrepreneurs, and closed bidding licenses. This schedule establishes whether the Assignee (Assignment of Authorization) or the post-transaction Licensee (Transfer of Control) is eligible for the same special provisions as the current Licensee, or whether unjust enrichment provisions or other restrictions apply.

Bidding Credits

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, enter ‘N’. If ‘Y’ is entered, Item 2 is not required to be completed.

Item 2a If the Assignee/Transferee qualifies for the same designated entity benefit as the current Licensee, it should so indicate by checking the first box. If the Assignee/Transferee qualifies for a designated entity benefit, but does not qualify for as high of a percentage of bidding credit as received by the Licensee, the Assignee/Transferee should respond by checking the second box. The Assignee/Transferee may request the same designated entity status as the current Licensee or a different designated entity status from the current Licensee, either as a small business as defined in Section 1.2110(f)(2) or as a rural service provider as defined in Section 1.2110(f)(4), but not both. If the Assignee/Transferee does not qualify for any designated entity status, the Assignee/Transferee should respond by checking the third box. If the Assignee/Transferee checks either the second box or the third box, an unjust enrichment payment WILL be required. See Secondary Markets First Report and Order, 18 FCC Rcd at 20666-67, para. 145.

Item 2b If the Assignee/Transferee requests designated entity status, it must select the appropriate designated entity status. If selecting the small business bidding credit, provide the bidding credit percentage (15%, 25% or 35%).

If the Assignee/Transferee selects the small business bidding credit, complete Items 5-33. If the Applicant selects rural service provider bidding credit, complete item 34.

For either bidding credit, attach an exhibit that includes the information required by the Commission’s Rules, including any agreements, whether oral or written, that could affect the Applicant’s eligibility for designated entity benefits, including but not limited to partnership agreements, shareholder agreements, management agreements, spectrum leasing agreements, spectrum use agreements, spectrum resale (including wholesale) arrangements, and all agreements or arrangements establishing de facto and/or de jure control of the Applicant or of the subject licenses.

Instructions for Schedule for Defined Geographic Areas To Be Partitioned or for Spectrum To Be Disaggregated

FCC Form 603, Schedule B

FCC Form 603 Schedule B is a supplementary schedule. Complete this Schedule when an Assignment involves the partitioning or disaggregation of a geographic-area license. Complete a separate schedule for each partitioned area or if additional space is needed to depict the spectrum that is being disaggregated.

Item 1 Enter the Call Sign of the license that is to be partitioned or disaggregated.

Partitioned Area

Item 2 Enter the partitioned area if the partitioned area involves FCC-defined geographic boundaries (i.e., FCC licensing boundaries (Major Trading Areas (MTAs), Basic Trading Areas (BTAs), etc.) or county boundaries.

In some cases, more than one geographic area exists with the same name in the same state (i.e., an independent city with the same name as a county in the same state). To partition 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 partition the city of Fairfax, you must enter its FIPS code, 51600, as shown in the table below. To partition 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. For information regarding electronic filings, please refer to DA 15-1250.

INDEPENDENT CITY NAME	FIPS CODE
Baltimore MD	24510
St. Louis, MO	29510
Bedford, VA	51515
Fairfax, VA	51600
Franklin, VA	51620
Richmond, VA	51760
Roanoke, VA	51770

Item 3 If the area to be partitioned is undefined (e.g., cannot be described using FCC-defined geographic boundaries or county boundaries), describe its periphery by completing Schedule C. Assign a unique number to each copy of Schedule C that is filed. Enter this number in both the Number field at the top of Schedule C and Item 3 on Schedule B.

Item 4 Enter the population of the partitioned area.

Spectrum Disaggregated

Item 5 Authorized spectrum blocks can be disaggregated by assigning one or more frequency blocks. To assign a frequency block, 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 depict the disaggregation completely. 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 disaggregated from the Priority Access License. Specific operating frequencies will be assigned by the SAS Administrator prior to commencing operations.

Coverage Requirements - Partitioning

Item 6 Check the selection that indicates which coverage requirements have been agreed upon by the partitioner and partitionee.

Coverage Requirements - Disaggregation

Item 7 Check the selection that indicates which coverage requirements have been agreed upon by the disaggregator and disaggregatee.

Relocation of Incumbent Licensees

Item 8 In certain services, licensees must meet certain obligations to relocate incumbent licensees. If the proposed geographic partitioning, spectrum disaggregation, or combination of both involves any incumbent relocation requirements, enter ‘Y’. If ‘Y’, attach an exhibit with a certification regarding which party will meet these requirements, except as stated in service-specific rules.

Instructions for Schedule for Undefined Geographic Areas To Be Partitioned FCC Form 603, Schedule C

FCC Form 603 Schedule C is a supplementary schedule. This schedule must be completed and attached if an undefined area is to be partitioned, as specified by Item 3 on Schedule B. Complete and attach a copy of Schedule C for each Call Sign that is being partitioned or disaggregated. If multiple undefined areas are requested, each undefined area should have a corresponding Schedule C.

This schedule further delineates geographic areas that have not been defined by the FCC. It is used to enter the coordinates of locations that describe the periphery of a geographic area to be partitioned. Specifically, enter up to 300 pairs of latitude/longitude coordinates, one pair for every 3 degrees azimuth around the periphery (you may use additional copies of Page 2 if more space is needed). Coordinates of the specified locations must be referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).

Note: If the area is a defined geographic shape, the Applicants can provide fewer than 300 coordinates, in which case the FCC will assume that these coordinate points are joined by straight lines. For example, a rectangle can be described by four coordinates, a hexagon by six coordinates, and so on.

Number: At the top of this schedule, enter the same number that has been specified in Item 3 of Schedule B.

Latitude: In this column, enter the latitudes of locations using the format DD-MM-SS.S-D, where the degrees (DD) term can have a value in the range of 0 to 72, minutes (MM) can range from 0 to 59, seconds (SS.S) can range from 0 to 59.9, and the direction (D) term is either N for North or S for South.

Longitude: In this column, enter the corresponding longitudes of locations using the format DDD-MM-SS.S-D, where the degrees (DDD) term can have a value in the range of 64 to 180, minutes (MM) can range from 0 to 59, seconds (SS.S) can range from 0 to 59.9, and the direction (D) term is either E for East or W for West.
