Snippet:

C.Sunset of Secondary Amateur Allocation
33.We adopt our proposal from the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to 
remove the amateur allocation from the 3.3-3.5 GHz band.
As we did with radiolocation operations, *
we adopt changes to our **rules today that provide for the sunset of the 
secondary amateu**r allocation in the band, but
allow **continued use of the band for **amateur operations, pending 
resol**ution of the issues raised in the Further **Notice. *
Secondary non-federal amateur licensees operating in this band as of the 
effective date of this Report and Order may continue while the 
Commission finalizes plans to reallocate spectrum in the 3.45-3.55 GHz 
band.
Authorizations will sunset on a date consistentwith the first possible 
grant of flexible use authorizations to new users in that portion of the 
band—forexample, 90 days after the close of the auction if we adopt a 
licensing scheme that will result in an auction to assign licenses.77
We revise the Table of Allocations accordingly.78
34.Clearing all secondary operations, including amateur operations, from 
this spectrum will allow us to maximize the band for potential flexible 
use operations in the future.
Further, to prevent adjacent-channel issues and to preserve the 
possibility of additional clearing for flexible use licensing below 3.45 
GHz, we find that sunsetting the secondary amateur allocation from the 
entire 3.3-3.5 GHz portion of the band is in the public interest.
35.Unlike the case of radiolocation operations in the 3.3-3.55 GHzband, 
amateur stations in this band are licensed on a shared basis.
However, only amateur service operators with privileges for transmitting 
in this band based on their license class may operate stations on this 
spectrum.79
The class of a given operator’s license determines on which of the many 
amateur frequencies it may operate, and amateurs with access to the 
3.3-3.5 GHz band also have access to a large number of other bands.80
These include bands with similar characteristics and operations such as 
the 2.39-2.45 GHz and 5.65-5.925 GHz bands, as well as dozens of others.81
Due to the unique nature of the licensing of the amateur service, we do 
not provide for relocation ofthese operations in the same way as we do 
for radiolocation operations.
Instead, we will allow amateur operators to choose for themselves 
whether to continue these operations in alternate spectrum, and which 
available spectrum to use.
-----

  Again and again, we Amateur Radio operators show how useful the unused 
portions spectrum are and
then the commercial interests take it away.
