Sec. 23.41  Quarterly report of frequency usage.



    (a) Transmitted frequencies. Each licensee in the international 

fixed radio-communication services shall submit a report of frequency 

usage for all authorized frequencies below 30 MHz for each station. If 

more than one station is operated from a common control point, reports 

for the stations may be combined into one. This report shall be due 40 

days after the close of each calendar quarter and shall contain the 

following information: Each frequency assigned to the station or 

stations and the number of hours it was used during the quarter to each 

point of communication for each class of service rendered (such as 

telegraph, telephone, program, or radiophoto), the types of emission 

normally used to each point of communication, and the total hours each 

frequency was used.

    (b) Received frequency report. Upon specific request by the 

Commission, licensees in the international fixed public 

radiocommunication services shall furnish promptly the following 

information regarding frequencies received from all points of 

communication: All frequencies received, including call signs, location 

of transmitting station, type and bandwidth of emission normally 

employed, point of reception, and a symbol from the following table 

indicating the amount of usage of the particular received frequency.

frequency shall be reported as received:

    (1) Report all frequencies regularly used during the period under 

consideration.

part of any cyclical change in frequency usefulness even though they may 

be unused for considerable periods of time during another part of the 

cycle.

    (3) Do not report any frequency, the use of which is known to have 

been discontinued or transferred to another operation by a foreign 

correspondent.

    (4) Do not report any frequency which has been inactive for a period 

of 6 months or longer, except as indicated in paragraph (b)(2) of this 

section.
