                    CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

                         COMMISSION (CONTINUED)

 

PART 21_DOMESTIC PUBLIC FIXED RADIO SERVICES--Table of Contents

 

                   Subpart B_Applications and Licenses

 

Sec. 21.11  Miscellaneous forms.



    (a) Licensee qualifications. FCC Form 430 (``Licensee Qualification 

Report'') must be filed annually, no later than March 31 for the end of 

the preceding calendar year, unless the licensee operates solely on a 

common carrier basis and service was not offered at any time during the 

preceding year. Each annual filing must include all changes of 

information required by FCC Form 430 that occurred during the preceding 

year. In those cases in which there has been no change in any of the 

required information, the applicant or licensee, in lieu of submitting a 

new form, may so notify the Commission by letter.

    (b) Additional time to construct--FCC Form 701 (``Application for 

Additional Time to Construct Radio Station'') shall be filed in 

duplicate by a licensee prior to the expiration of the time for 

construction noted in a license if a licensee seeks to modify the 

license by extending the period of construction.

    (c) Renewal of station license. Except for renewal of special 

temporary authorizations, FCC Form 405 (``Application for Renewal of 

Station License'') must be filed in duplicate by the licensee between 

thirty (30) and sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date of the 

license sought to be renewed. Whenever a group of station licenses in 

the same radio service are to be renewed simultaneously, a single 

``blanket'' application may be filed to cover the entire group, if the 

application identifies each station by call sign and station location 

and if two copies are provided for each station affected. Applicants 

should note also any special renewal requirements under the rules for 

each radio service.

    (d) Assignment of license. FCC Form 305 (``Application for Consent 

to Assignment of Radio Station Construction Authorization or License 

(for Stations in Services Other than Broadcast)'') must be submitted to 

assign voluntarily (as by, for example, contract or other agreement) or 

involuntarily (as by, for example, death, bankruptcy, or legal 

disability) the station license or conditional license. In the case of 

involuntary assignment, the application must be filed within 30 days of 

the event causing the assignment. FCC Form 305 also must be used for 

nonsubstantial (pro forma) assignments. In addition, FCC Form 430 must 

be submitted by the proposed assignee unless such assignee has a current 

and substantially accurate report on file with the Commission. Whenever 

a group of station licenses or conditional licenses in the same radio 

service is to be assigned to a single assignee, a single ``blanket'' 

application may be filed to cover the entire group, if the application 

identifies each station by call sign and station location and if two 

copies are provided for each station affected. The assignment must be 

completed within 45 days from the date of authorization. Upon 

consummation of an approved assignment, the Commission must be notified 

by letter of the date of consummation within 10 days of its occurrence.

    (e) Partial assignment of license. In the microwave services, 

authorization for assignment from one company to another of only a part 

or portions of the facilities (transmitters) authorized under an 

existing license (as distinguished from an assignment of the facilities 

in their entirety) may be granted upon application:

    (1) By the assignee on FCC Form 494 and

    (2) By the assignor on FCC Form 494 for deletion of the assigned 

facilities, indicating concurrence in the assignee's request.



The assignment shall be consummated within 45 days from the date of 

authorization. In the event that consummation does not occur, FCC Form 

494 shall be submitted to return the assignor's license to its original 

condition.



    Editorial Note: At 63 FR 65100, Nov. 25, 1999, paragraphs (f) and 

(g) were redesignated as paragraphs (e) and (f) and newly designated 

paragraph (e) was revised. However,

paragraph (e) already exists. The text of the newly redesignated 

paragraph (e) follows.



    (e) Transfer of control of corporation holding a conditional license 

or license. FCC Form 306 (``Application for Consent to Transfer of 

Control'') must be submitted in order to voluntarily or involuntarily 

transfer control (de jure or de facto) of a corporation holding any 

conditional licenses or licenses. In the case of involuntary transfer of 

control, the application must be filed within 30 days of the event 

causing the transfer of control. FCC Form 306 also must be used for 

nonsubstantial (pro forma) transfers of control. In addition, FCC Form 

430 must be submitted by the proposed transferee unless such transferee 

has a current and substantially accurate report on file with the 

Commission. Whenever control of a corporation holding a group of station 

licenses or conditional licenses in the same radio service is to be 

transferred to a single transferee, a single ``blanket'' application may 

be filed to cover the entire transfer, if the application identifies 

each station by call sign and station location and if two copies are 

provided for each station affected. The transfer must be completed 

within 45 days from the date of authorization. Upon consummation of an 

approved transfer, the Commission must be notified by letter of the date 

of consummation within 10 days of its occurrence.

    (f) Antenna Structure Registration. FCC Form 854 (Application for 

Antenna Structure Registration) accompanied by a final Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) determination of ``no hazard'' must be filed by the 

antenna structure owner to receive an antenna structure registration 

number. Criteria used to determine whether FAA notification and 

registration is required for a particular antenna structure are 

contained in Part 17 of this chapter.
