Sec. 22.313  Station identification.



    The licensee of each station in the Public Mobile Services must 

ensure that the transmissions of that station are identified in 

accordance with the requirements of this section.

    (a) Station identification is not required for transmission by:

    (1) Stations in the Cellular Radiotelephone Service;

    (2) General aviation ground stations in the Air-ground 

Radiotelephone Service;

    (3) [Reserved]

    (4) Stations using Basic Exchange Telephone Radio Systems in the 

Rural Radiotelephone Service;

    (5) [Reserved]

    (6) Stations operating pursuant to paging geographic area 

authorizations.

    (b) For all other stations in the Public Mobile Services, station 

identification must be transmitted each hour within five minutes of the 

hour, or upon completion of the first transmission after the hour. 

Transmission of station identification may be temporarily delayed to 

avoid interrupting the continuity of any public communication in 

progress, provided that station identification is transmitted at the 

conclusion of that public communication.

    (c) Station identification must be transmitted by telephony using 

the English language or by telegraphy using the international Morse 

code, and in a form that can be received using equipment appropriate for 

the modulation type employed, and understood without the use of 

unscrambling devices, except that, alternatively, station identification 

may be transmitted digitally, provided that the licensee provides the 

Commission with information sufficient to decode the digital 

transmission to ascertain the call sign. Station identification 

comprises transmission of the call sign assigned by the

that a written record of such designations is maintained by the carrier;

    (2) For general aviation airborne mobile stations in the Air-Ground 

Radiotelephone Service, the official FAA registration number of the 

aircraft;

    (3) For stations in the Paging and Radiotelephone Service, a call 

sign assigned to another station within the same system.
