(1) Authorizations for Block A, consisting of two paired channels of 1 megahertz each, will be based on those geographic areas specified in §27.6(b)(1). (2) Authorizations for Block B, consisting of two paired channels of 2 megahertz each, will be based on those geographic areas specified in §27.6(b)(1). (3) Authorizations for Block C, consisting of two paired channels of 5 megahertz each, will be based on Economic Area Groupings (EAGs), as specified in §27.6(b)(2). (4) Authorizations for Block D, consisting of two paired channels of 10 megahertz each, will be based on EAGs, as specified in §27.6(b)(2). (d) 698–746 MHz band. Initial authorizations for the 698–746 MHz band shall be for 6 or 12 megahertz of spectrum in accordance with §27.5(c). (1) Authorizations for Blocks A and B, consisting of two paired channels of 6 megahertz each, will be based on those geographic areas specified in §27.6(c)(1). (2) Authorizations for Block C, consisting of two paired channels of 6 megahertz each, will be based on those geographic areas specified in §27.6(c)(2). (3) Authorizations for Blocks D and E, consisting of an unpaired channel block of 6 megahertz each, will be based on those geographic areas specified in §27.6(c)(1). (e) 1390–1392 MHz band. Initial authorizations for the 1390–1392 MHz band shall be for 2 megahertz of spectrum in accordance with §27.5(d). Authorizations will be based on Major Economic Areas (MEAs), as specified in §27.6(d). (f) The paired 1392–1395 MHz and 1432–1435 MHz bands. Initial authorizations for the paired 1392–1395 MHz and 1432–1435 MHz bands shall be for 3 megahertz of paired spectrum in accordance with §27.5(e). Authorization for Blocks A and B will be based on Economic Areas Groupings (EAGs), as specified in §27.6(e). (g) 1670–1675 MHz band. Initial authorizations for the 1670–1675 MHz band shall be for 5 megahertz of spectrum in accordance with §27.5(f). Authorizations will be on a nationwide basis. (h) [Reserved] (i) 1710–1755 MHz and 2110–2155 MHz bands. Initial authorizations for the 1710–1755 MHz and 2110–2155 MHz bands shall be for 5 or 10 megahertz of spectrum in each band in accordance with §27.5(h) of this part. (1) Authorizations for Block A, consisting of two paired channels of 10 megahertz each, will be based on those geographic areas specified in §27.6(h)(1). (2) Authorizations for Block B, consisting of two paired channels of 10 megahertz each, will be based on those geographic areas specified in §27.6(h)(2). (3) Authorizations for Block C, consisting of two paired channels of 5 megahertz each, will be based on those geographic areas specified in §27.6(h)(2). (4) Authorizations for Blocks D, consisting of two paired channels of 5 megahertz each, will be based on those geographic areas specified in §27.6(h)(3). (5) Authorizations for Blocks E, consisting of two paired channels of 5 megahertz each, will be based on those geographic areas specified in §27.6(h)(3). (6) Authorizations for Block F, consisting of two paired channels of 10 megahertz each, will be based on those geographic areas specified in §27.6(h)(3).
