# §22.960. Cellular operations in the Chambers, TX CMA (CMA672-A).


This section applies only to Cellular systems operating on channel block A of the Chambers, Texas CMA (CMA672-A).

- (a) The geographic boundary of CMA672-A is deemed to be the Cellular Geographic Service Area (CGSA) boundary. This CGSA boundary is not determined using the methodology of [§ 22.911](/cfr/47/22.911.md). The licensee of CMA672-A may not propose an expansion of this CGSA into another CMA unless and until it meets the construction requirement set forth in [paragraph (b)(2)](#b-2) of this section.
- (b) A licensee that holds the license for CMA672-A must be providing signal coverage and offering service as follows (and in applying these geographic construction benchmarks, the licensee is to count total land area):
  - (1) To at least 35% of the geographic area of CMA672-A within four years of the grant of such authorization; and
  - (2) **To at least 70% of the geographic area of its license authorization by the end of the license term.**
- (c) After it has met each of the requirements of paragraphs [(b)(1)](#b-1) and [(b)(2)](#b-2), respectively, of this section, the licensee that holds the license for CMA672-A must notify the FCC that it has met the requirement by submitting FCC Form 601, including GIS map files and other supporting documents showing compliance with the requirement. See [§ 1.946](/cfr/47/1.946.md) of this chapter. See also [§ 22.953](/cfr/47/22.953.md).
- (d) Failure to meet the construction requirements set forth in paragraphs [(b)(1)](#b-1) and [(b)(2)](#b-2) of this section by each of the applicable deadlines will result in automatic termination of the license for CMA672-A and its return to the Commission for future re-licensing subject to competitive bidding procedures. The licensee that fails to meet each requirement of this section by the applicable deadline set forth in paragraphs [(b)(1)](#b-1) and [(b)(2)](#b-2) shall be ineligible to regain the license for CMA672-A.
