                   Subpart B_Application Requirements

 

Sec. 2301.12  Federal Communications Commission authorizations.



    (a) Each applicant whose project requires FCC authorization must 

file an application for that authorization on or before the closing 

date. NTIA recommends that its applicants submit PTFP-related FCC 

applications to the FCC at least 60 days prior to the PTFP closing date. 

The applicant should clearly identify itself to the FCC as a PTFP 

applicant.

    (b) In the case of FCC authorizations where it is not possible or 

practical to submit the FCC license application with the PTFP 

application, such as C-band satellite uplinks, low-power television 

stations and translators, remote pickups, studio-to-transmitter links, 

and Very Small Aperture Terminals, a copy of the FCC application as it 

will be submitted to the FCC, or the equivalent engineering data, must 

be included in the PTFP application.

    (c) Applications requesting C-band downlinks are not required to 

submit the FCC application or equivalent engineering data as part of the 

PTFP application. When such a project is funded, however, grantees will 

be required to

submit evidence of FCC registration of the C-band downlink prior to the 

release of Federal funds.

    (d) Any FCC authorization required for the project must be in the 

name of the applicant for the PTFP grant.

    (e) If the project is to be associated with an existing station, the 

FCC operating authority for that station must be current and valid.

    (f) For any project requiring new authorization(s) from the FCC, the 

applicant must file a copy of each FCC application and any amendments 

with the Agency.

    (g) If the applicant fails to file the required FCC application(s) 

by the closing date, or if the FCC returns, dismisses, or denies an 

application required for the project or any part thereof, or for the 

operation of the station with which the project is associ ated, the 

Agency may reject and return the application.

    (h) No grant will be awarded until confirmation has been received 

from the FCC that any necessary authorization will be issued.
