Sec. 101.97  Future licensing in the 18.58-19.30 GHz band.

    (a) After June 8, 2000, all major modifications and extensions to 
existing FS systems in the 18.58-19.30 band (with the exception of 
certain low power operations authorized under Sec. 101.147(r)(10)) will 
be authorized on a secondary basis to FSS systems. All other 
modifications will render the modified FS license secondary to FSS 
operations, unless the incumbent affirmatively justifies primary status 
and the incumbent FS licensee establishes that the modification would 
not add to the relocation costs for FSS licensees. Incumbent FS 
licensees will maintain primary status for the following technical 
changes:
    (1) Decreases in power;
    (2) Minor changes (increases or decreases) in antenna height;
    (3) Minor location changes (up to two seconds);
    (4) Any data correction which does not involve a change in the 
location of an existing facility;
    (5) Reductions in authorized bandwidth;
    (6) Minor changes (increases or decreases) in structure height;
    (7) Changes (increases or decreases) in ground elevation that do not 
affect centerline height;
    (8) Minor equipment changes.
    (9) Changes in ownership or control.
    (b) The provisions of Sec. 101.83 are applicable, notwithstanding 
any other provisions of this section.
