    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 78.27 requires licensees of Cable Television

of time from the FCC 30 days prior to the expiration of the one-year 
construction period. The Commission uses these filings to provide 
accurate CARS channel usage for frequency coordination, to prevent 
warehousing of spectrum, and to prevent frequency interference.
