Sec.  1.915   General application requirements.

   (a)  General  requirement. Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this
   section, for all Wireless Radio Services, station licenses, as defined in
   section 308(a) of the Communications Act, as amended, operator licenses,
   modifications or renewals of licenses, assignments or transfers of control
   of station licenses or any rights thereunder, and waiver requests associated
   with any of the foregoing shall be granted only upon an application filed
   pursuant to  Sec.  Sec. 1.913 through 1.917 of this part.

   (b)(1) Exception for emergency filings. The Commission may grant station
   licenses, or modifications or renewals thereof, without the filing of a
   formal application in the following cases:

   (i)  an emergency found by the Commission to involve danger to life or
   property or to be due to damage to equipment;

   (ii) a national emergency proclaimed by the President or declared by the
   Congress and during the continuance of any war in which the United States is
   engaged, when such action is necessary for the national defense or security
   or otherwise in furtherance of the war effort; or

   (iii) an emergency where the Commission finds that it would not be feasible
   to secure renewal applications from existing licensees or otherwise to
   follow normal licensing procedures.

   (2) No such authorization shall be granted for or continue in effect beyond
   the  period of the emergency or war requiring it. The procedures to be
   followed for emergency requests submitted under this subparagraph are the
   same as for seeking special temporary authority under  Sec. 1.931 of this part.
   After the end of the period of emergency, the party must submit its request
   by filing the appropriate FCC form in accordance with paragraph (a) of this
   section.
