When does a licensee obtain reimbursement rights for a relocated link?
An AWS or MSS/ATC (“Ancillary Terrestrial Component”) relocator obtains reimbursement rights for a link on the date that it signs a relocation agreement with the incumbent. A voluntarily relocating microwave incumbent obtains reimbursement rights for its link on the date that it notifies the FCC it intends to discontinue or has discontinued the use of the link. In either situation, claims for reimbursement are limited to relocation expenses incurred on or after the date of the first AWS license being issued, November 29, 2006.
