1. A method for managing priority exceptions for a shared spectrum radio services system, the system comprising a spectrum access system (SAS) configured to manage one or more radios that transmit on a protected frequency of a shared spectrum, wherein at least one dynamic incumbent radio in a protected area operates on the protected frequency, the method comprising:
receiving at the SAS a priority exemption request associated with an event;
defining a set of one or more exempted radios that the priority exemption request applies to from the one or more radios; and
transmitting to the set of one or more exempted radios a transmit expiration time exception parameter having a value based on a starting time and duration of the event.
