The rules are intended to reaccommodate the FMS licensees in a manner that would be most advantageous for the incumbent users, least disruptive to the public and most conducive to  {O"'the introduction of new services. See ET First Report and Order, 7 FCC Rcd at 688687  5. First, rather than immediately clearing the 2 GHz band of the incumbent FMS users, the Commission permits the incumbents to continue to occupy the band on a coprimary basis with the ET licensees for a significant length of time, by the end of which  S'the incumbents are to relocate to another portion of the spectrum.- {O8&'ԍ47 C.F.R.  101.69(b), 101.79(a).

On the other hand, ET licensees are under no obligation to pay to relocate 2 GHz links that are  S8'authorized on a secondary basis.8C {OX 'ԍSee Cost Sharing First Report and Order, 11 FCC Rcd at 8869  89.   S'3. On September 3, 1997, the license for Station KCF78 expired.EXC yO'ЍLetter from David C. Le Blanc, Nevada Power Company, to Michael J. Regiec, Acting Chief, Licensing and Technical Analysis Branch, Public Safety and Private Wireless Division, Federal Communications Commission  yO*'(dated Apr. 20, 1998) (April 20 Letter).E On November 4, 1997,  S'NPC requested its reinstatement.2 C yO'ЍLetter from David C. Le Blanc, Nevada Power Company, to Microwave Service, Federal Communications Commission (dated Nov. 4, 1997). In its reinstatement request, NPC cites two reasons for the license's expiration: (1) NPC had inadvertently overlooked the license's expiration date; and (2) NPC did not  Sp'receive the FCC Form 402R for this license because the Commission sent the form to a mining company on the east coast, which was erroneously listed in the Commission's records as the licensee  S 'for Station KCF78.1 C {OJ'ԍId.1 On April 8, 1998, the Branch granted a license for Station KCF78 with a  S 'secondary status condition.b C {O'ԍPublic Notice, Report No. 1984 (rel. Apr. 14, 1998).b On April 20, 1998, NPC sought reconsideration of this action and  S 'requested that the license for this station be reissued with primary status.= C yO'ԍApril 20 Letter at 1.=  S 'F III. DISCUSSION  SX'\ 4. Under the Commission's Part 101 rules, licenses for stations in the 2 GHz band are automatically forfeited without further notice upon their expiration unless an application for renewal  S'has been filed with the Commission.x >C yO#'ԍ47 C.F.R.  101.65(a) (2) (1997) (currently 47 C.F.R.  1.955(a)(1)).x During the period in which the license for Station KCF78 expired and NPC filed its reinstatement application, requests for reinstatement were to be filed within  S'thirty days of the license's expiration.M C yO&'ԍ47 C.F.R.  101.65(b)(1) (1997). M NPC's request, which was submitted approximately two"^ ,N(N(ZZb" months after the subject license expired, was untimely under those rules; thus, the license was automatically forfeited. Therefore, the Branch treated NPC's November 4, 1997, request for reinstatement as an application for a new license to operate a 2 GHz FMS station. Pursuant to Section 101.81 of the Commission's Rules, all new stations in the 2 GHz band are authorized on a secondary  S`'basis to ET systems.>`C yO'ԍ47 C.F.R.  101.81.> Thus, on April 8, 1998, the Branch granted the new license for Station KCF78 with a secondary status condition. 5. One of NPC's explanations for allowing the Station KCF78 license to expire is that it did not receive a renewal form from the Commission which would have reminded it that its license was due to be renewed. While the Commission ordinarily sent Part 101 licensees renewal applications, FCC Form 402R, if a licensee did not receive the renewal application at least 60 days prior to the license's expiration date, it had been suggested to licensees that they use FCC Form 402 to renew the  S 'license by specifying "renewal only, no 402R available."g XC yO'ԍForm FCC 402, Instructions for Completion of FCC Form 402 at 1.g In this connection, we note that it is the  S 'responsibility of each licensee to apply to renew its license prior to the license's expiration date.QZ C yO'ЍDaniel R. Goodman, Receiver, Dr. Robert Chan, Petition for Waiver of Sections 90.633(c) and 1.1102 of  {OH'the Commission's Rules, Memorandum Opinion and Order and Order on Reconsideration, 13 FCC Rcd 21944,  yO'2197273  53 (1998) . Q Thus, we find that NPC's failure to receive a renewal form from the Commission did not excuse it  S 'from timely renewing its license,$ C {OR'Ѝ   Id. at 21973  53; Biennial Regulatory Review Amendment of Parts 0, 1, 13, 22, 24, 26, 27, 80, 87, 90, 95, 97, and 101 of the Commission's Rules to Facilitate Development and Use of the Universal Licensing System  {O'in the Wireless Telecommunications Service, Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd 21027, 21071  96, 21073  98  yO'(1998). and does not render improper the Branch's decision to treat NPC's untimely reinstatement request as an application for a new license. As a result, we conclude that under the circumstances presented herein, the Branch appropriately treated the subject application as a new application and properly accorded Station KCF78 secondary status.
