Instructions for Schedule for Supplemental Information Pertaining to a
New Private Commons Arrangement,
Modification of an Existing Private Commons Arrangement,
Revision to Extend the Term of an Existing Private Commons Arrangement, or Revision to Cancel an Existing Private Commons Arrangement
Schedule I is a supplementary schedule that is used to provide information regarding a Private Commons Arrangement. This includes information pertaining to (a) a new Private Commons arrangement, (b) a modification or revision of the terms and conditions, technical requirements and approved equipment, and/or types of communications uses allowed, (c) a revision to extend the term of an existing Private Commons arrangement, or (d) a revision to cancel an existing Private Commons arrangement. A single Schedule I is used for all of the Call Signs, Lease Identifier(s) or Private Commons Identifier(s) listed in Item 182 of the Main Form. All filings for Private Commons Arrangements must be filed manually and sent to the appropriate address. The mailing address can be found under the Application Fees and Filing Locations section found on page 8 of the Main Form Instructions.
A Private Commons arrangement is distinct from a spectrum leasing arrangement. Under a Private Commons arrangement, a Licensee, Lessee or Sublessee makes certain spectrum usage rights under the license authorization available to a class of third-party users that employ advanced communications technologies that involve peer-to-peer communications and do not use of the Licensee’s, Lessee’s or Sublessee’s end-to-end physical network infrastructure (e.g., base stations, mobile stations, or other related elements) and are not intended to be used in the provision of network-based services to end-users. See generally Promoting Efficient Use of Spectrum Through Elimination of Barriers to the Development of Secondary Markets, Second Report and Order, Order on Reconsideration, and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, WT Docket No. 00-230, FCC 04-167, at ¶¶ 91-99 (rel. Sep. 2, 2004) (“Secondary Markets Second Report and Order”); 47 C.F.R. § 1.9080. Pursuant to the Secondary Markets Second Report and Order, a Licensee, Lessee or Sublessee that establishes a Private Commons Arrangement is required to provide notification to the Commission, prior to commencement of operations under such arrangement, and also must provide exhibits describing certain details (set forth below) about the nature of this arrangement. Only the Licensee, Lessee or Sublessee that exercises de facto control over the use of the spectrum associated with the Private Commons arrangement may establish such an arrangement. As manager of the Private Common arrangement, this Licensee, Lessee or Sublessee also must exercise certain responsibilities to ensure that the users comply with the technical and service rules applicable to the license authorization. See id.
If this notification involves a new Private Commons arrangement, or it involves a modification or revision of an existing Private Commons arrangement (i.e., a modification of the terms and conditions, technical requirements and approved equipment, and/or types of communications uses allowed under an existing Private Commons arrangement, request to extend the term or request to cancel an existing arrangement), the following questions must be answered and certain exhibits (described below) provided.
General Terms and Conditions

A License, Lessee or Sublessee establishing and managing a Private Commons arrangement is responsible for establishing the technical and operating terms and conditions of use of users of the Private Commons, including those relating to the types of communications devices that may be used within the Private Commons. Attach an exhibit describing these technical requirements and the equipment approved for use in the Private Commons.
