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  S,'end of which the incumbents are to relocate to another portion of the spectrum.,j Gp {O6%'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  S`'are authorized on a secondary basis.`]" {O'ԍSee Cost Sharing First Report and Order, 11 FCC Rcd at 8869  89.  3.

With respect to Stations WBM392 and WNTI458, Minnkota requests only that the coordinates be modified to more accurately reflect the actual location of each station. Since neither station was physically relocated, we will treat the modification of their coordinates as data corrections.
