[[Page 282]]



Main Form and Schedule B, accompanied by any required exhibits, except 

for those earth station applications filed on FCC Form 312EZ pursuant to 

Sec. 25.115(a). All such earth station license applications must be 

filed electronically through the International Bureau Filing System 

(IBFS) in accordance with the applicable provisions of part 1, subpart Y 

of this chapter.

    (b) A frequency coordination analysis in accordance with Sec. 

25.203 shall be provided for earth stations transmitting in the 

frequency bands shared with equal rights between terrestrial and space 

services, except that applications for user transceiver units associated 

with the NVNG mobile-satellite service shall instead provide the 

information required by Sec. 25.135 and applications for user 

transceiver units associated with the 1.6/2.4 GHz Mobile-Satellite 

Service shall demonstrate that user transceiver operations comply with 

the requirements set forth in Sec. 25.213.

    (c) In those cases where an applicant is filing a number of 

essentially similar applications, showings of a general nature 

applicable to all of the proposed stations may be submitted in the 

initial application and incorporated by reference in subsequent 

applications.

    (d) Transmissions of signals or programming to non-U.S. licensed 

satellites, and to and/or from foreign points by means of U.S.-licensed 

fixed satellites may be subject to restrictions as a result of 

international agreements or treaties. The Commission will maintain 

public information on the status of any such agreements.

    (e) Each application proposing construction of one or more earth 

station antennas or alteration of the overall height of one or more 

existing earth station antennas, where FAA notification prior to such 

construction or alteration is required by part 17 of this chapter, must 

include the FCC Antenna Structure Registration Number(s) for the 

affected satellite earth station antenna(s). If no such number has been 

assigned at the time the application(s) is filed, the applicant must 

state in the application whether the satellite earth station antenna 

owner has notified the FAA of the proposed construction or alteration 

and applied to the FCC for an antenna Structure Registration Number in 

accordance with part 17 of this chapter. Applications proposing 

construction of one or more earth station antennas or alteration of the 

overall height of one or more existing earth station antennas, where FAA 

notification prior to such construction or notification or alteration is 

not required by part 17 of this chapter, must indicate such and, unless 

the satellite earth station antenna is 6.10 meters or less above ground 

level (AGL), must contain a statement explaining why FAA notification is 

not required.
