                  Subpart B--Applications and Licenses
 
Sec. 101.21  Technical content of applications.

    Applications, except FCC Form 175, must contain all technical 
information required by the application form and any additional 
information necessary

to fully describe the proposed facilities and to demonstrate compliance 
with all technical requirements of the rules governing the radio service 
involved (see subparts C, F, G, I, J, and L of this part, as 
appropriate). The following paragraphs describe a number of technical 
requirements.
    (a) [Reserved]
    (b) Each application for a developmental authorization must be 
accompanied by pertinent supplemental information as required by 
Sec. 101.411 of this part in addition to such information as may be 
specifically required by this section.
    (c)-(d) [Reserved]
    (e) Each application in the Private Operational Fixed Point-to-Point 
Microwave Service and the Common Carrier Fixed Point-to-Point Microwave 
Service must include the following information:

Applicant's name and address.
Transmitting station name.
Transmitting station coordinates.
Frequencies and polarizations to be added, changed or deleted.
Transmitting equipment, its stability, effective isotropic radiated 
power, emission designator, and type of modulation (digital).
Transmitting antenna(s), model, gain, and, if required, a radiation 
pattern provided or certified by the manufacturer.
Transmitting antenna center line height(s) above ground level and ground 
elevation above mean sea level.
Receiving station name.
Receiving station coordinates.
Receiving antenna(s), model, gain, and, if required, a radiation pattern 
provided or certified by the manufacturer.
Receiving antenna center line height(s) above ground level and ground 
elevation above mean sea level.
Path azimuth and distance.

    Note: The position location of antenna sites shall be determined to 
an accuracy of no less than 1 second in the horizontal 
dimensions (latitude and longitude) and 1 meter in the 
vertical dimension (ground elevation) with respect to the National 
Spacial Reference System.

    (f) All applicants for regular authorization must, before filing an 
application, major amendments to a pending application, or modifications 
to a license, prior coordinate the proposed frequency usage with 
existing users in the area and other applicants with previously filed 
applications in accordance with the procedures in Sec. 101.103. In those 
frequency bands shared with the communication-satellite service, an 
applicant for a new station, for new points of communication, for the 
initial frequency assignment in a shared band for which coordination has 
not been previously effected, or for authority to modify the emission or 
radiation characteristics of an existing station in a manner that may 
increase the likelihood of harmful interference, must ascertain in 
advance whether the station(s) involved lie within the great circle 
coordination distance contours of an existing Earth station or one for 
which an application has been accepted for filing, and must coordinate 
his proposal with each such Earth station operator or applicant. For 
each potential interference path, the applicant must perform the 
computations required to determine that the expected level of 
interference to or from the terrestrial station does not exceed the 
maximum permissible interference power level in accordance with the 
technical standards and requirements of Sec. 25.251 of this chapter. The 
Commission may, in the course of examining any application, require the 
submission of additional showings, complete with pertinent data and 
calculations in accordance with part 25 of this chapter, showing that 
harmful interference will not likely result from the proposed operation. 
(Technical characteristics of the Earth stations on file and 
coordination contour maps for those Earth stations will be kept on file 
for public inspection in the offices of the Commission's International 
Bureau in Washington, DC.)
    (g) Each application in the Local Multipoint Distribution Service 
and 24 GHz Service must contain all technical information required by 
FCC Form 601 and any other applicable form or associated Public Notices 
and by any applicable rules in this part.
