It seems it is beeing moved.

56   16  Launched 29 JAN 2003; usable 18 FEB 2003; operating on Rb std
           Scheduled unusable 29 Jul 1345 UT to 30 Jul 0145 UT for
             repositioning maintenance (NANU 2010102)

from   ftp://tycho.usno.navy.mil/pub/gps/gpstd.txt

btw the Elmer Perkins Rb's beats most/all space CS out to a few days.
Since the ground crew updates clock preditions every day, there is not
that much need for the Cs _long_ term stability.
