## Abstract

By this First Report and Order, the Commission changes and clarifies certain aspects of the microwave relocation rules adopted in our Emerging Technologies proceeding, ET Docket No. 92-9. The Commission also adopts a plan for sharing the costs of relocating microwave facilities currently operating in the 1850 to 1990 MHz (``2 GHz'') band, which has been allocated for use by broadband Personal Communications Services (``PCS''). The Commission's plan establishes a mechanism whereby PCS licensees that incur costs to relocate microwave links receive reimbursement for a portion of those costs from other PCS licensees that also benefit from the resulting spectrum clearance. The Commission conditions the cost-sharing plan, however, on selection of one or more entities or organizations to administer the plan.
