(b) Subject to the provisions of Sec. 27.2(b) and paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section, a Guard Band Manager may allow a spectrum user, pursuant to a written agreement, to delete, move or change the operating parameters of any of the user's stations that are covered under the Guard Band Manager's license without prior Commission approval, provided such stations comply with Commission Rules and coordination requirements. (c)(1) A Guard Band Manager must file a separate station application and obtain all appropriate Commission approvals or authorizations prior to construction of stations that-- (i) Require submission of an Environmental Assessment under Sec. 1.1307 of this chapter; (ii) Require international coordination; or (iii) Would affect the radio frequency quiet zones described in Sec. 90.177 of this chapter. (2) Prior to construction of a station, a Guard Band Manager must register with the Commission any station antenna structure for which notification to the Federal Aviation Administration is required by part 17 of this chapter. (3) It is the Guard Band Manager's responsibility to determine whether a referral to the Commission is needed for any individual station constructed in the Guard Band Manager's license area. (d)(1) A Guard Band Manager must notify Commission-recognized public safety frequency coordinators for the 700 MHz public safety band and adjacent-area Guard Band Managers within one business day after the Guard Band Manager has: (i) Coordinated a new station or modification of an existing station; or (ii) Filed an application for an individual station license with the Commission. (2) The notification required in paragraph (d)(1) of this section must include, at a minimum-- (i) The frequency or frequencies coordinated; (ii) Antenna location and height; (iii) Type of emission; (iv) Effective radiated power; (v) A description of the service area, date of coordination, and user name or, in the alternative, a description of the type of operation.

(4) Entities coordinated by a Guard Band Manager must wait at least 10 business days after the notification required in paragraph (d)(1) of this section before operating under the Guard Band Manager's license; (5) If, in the event of harmful interference, the Guard Band Manager is unable to resolve the problem by mutually satisfactory arrangements, the Commission may impose restrictions on the operations of any of the parties involved. (e) Where a deletion, move or change authorized under paragraph (b) of this section constitutes a discontinuance, reduction, or impairment of service under Sec. 27.66 or where discontinuance, reduction or impairment of service results from an involuntary act subject to Sec. 27.66(a), the Guard Band Manager must comply with the notification and authorization requirements set forth in that section.
