  § 22.947   Discontinuance of service.

   (a) Termination of authorization. (1) Except with respect to CMA672-A
   (see paragraph (a)(2) of this section), a licensee's Cellular
   Geographic Service Area (CGSA) authorization will automatically
   terminate, without specific Commission action, if the licensee
   permanently discontinues service. A new-system licensee is not subject
   to this provision until after expiration of the construction period
   specified in § 22.946.

   (2) The licensee's authorization for CMA672-A (Chambers, TX) will
   automatically terminate, without specific Commission action, if the
   licensee permanently discontinues service after meeting its interim
   construction requirement as specified in § 22.961(b)(1).

   (b) Permanent discontinuance. Permanent discontinuance of service is
   defined as 180 consecutive days during which a Cellular licensee does
   not operate or, in the case of a commercial mobile radio service
   provider, does not provide service to at least one subscriber that is
   not affiliated with, controlled by, or related to the providing
   carrier.

   (c) Filing requirements. A licensee that permanently discontinues
   service as defined in this section must notify the Commission of the
   discontinuance within 10 days by filing, via the ULS, FCC Form 601
   requesting license cancellation. An authorization will automatically
   terminate, without specific Commission action, if service is
   permanently discontinued as defined in this section, even if a licensee
   fails to file the required form requesting license cancellation.
