Sec. 25.139  NGSO FSS coordination and information sharing between MVDDS licensees in the 12.2 GHz to 12.7 GHz band.

    (a) NGSO FSS licensees shall maintain a subscriber database in a 
format that can be readily shared with MVDDS licensees for the purpose 
of determining compliance with the MVDDS transmitting antenna spacing 
requirement relating to qualifying existing NGSO FSS subscriber 
receivers set forth in Sec. 101.129 of this chapter. This information 
shall not be used for purposes other than set forth in Sec. 101.129 of 
this chapter. Only sufficient information to determine compliance with 
Sec. 101.129 of this chapter is required.
    (b) Within ten business days of receiving notification of the 
location of a proposed MVDDS transmitting antenna, the NGSO FSS licensee 
shall provide sufficient information from the database to enable the 
MVDDS licensee to determine whether the proposed MVDDS transmitting site 
meets the minimum spacing requirement.
    (c) If the location of the proposed MVDDS transmitting antenna site 
does not meet the separation requirements of Sec. 101.129 of this 
chapter, then the NGSO FSS licensee shall also indicate to the MVDDS 
licensee within the same ten day period specified in paragraph (b) of 
this section whether the proposed MVDDS transmitting site is acceptable 
at the proposed location.
    (d) Nothing in this section shall preclude NGSO FSS and MVDDS 
licensees from entering into an agreement to accept MVDDS transmitting 
antenna locations that are shorter-spaced from existing NGSO FSS 
subscriber receivers than the distance set forth in Sec. 101.129 of this 
chapter.
