Sec.  1.923   Content of applications.

   (a) General. Applications must contain all information requested on the
   applicable form and any additional information required by the rules in this
   chapter and any rules pertaining to the specific service for which the
   application is filed.

   (b) Reference to material on file. Questions on application forms that call
   for specific technical data, or that can be answered yes or no or with
   another short answer, must be answered on the form. Otherwise, if documents,
   exhibits, or other lengthy showings already on file with the FCC contain
   information required in an application, the application may incorporate such
   information by reference, provided that:

   (1) The referenced information has been filed in ULS or, if manually filed
   outside of ULS, the information comprises more than one “81/2×11” page.

   (2) The referenced information is current and accurate in all material
   respects; and

   (3) The application states specifically where the referenced information can
   actually be found, including:

   (i) The station call sign or application file number and its location if the
   reference is to station files or previously filed applications;

   (ii)  The  title  of  the proceeding, the docket number, and any legal
   citations, if the reference is to a docketed proceeding.

   (c) Antenna locations. Applications for stations at fixed locations must
   describe each transmitting antenna site by its geographical coordinates and
   also  by  its  street  address,  or by reference to a nearby landmark.
   Geographical coordinates, referenced to NAD83, must be specified in degrees,
   minutes, and seconds to the nearest second of latitude and longitude.

   (d) Antenna structure registration. Owners of certain antenna structures
   must  notify the Federal Aviation Administration and register with the
   Commission as required by Part 17 of this chapter. Applications proposing
   the use of one or more new or existing antenna structures must contain the
   FCC Antenna Registration Number(s) of each structure for which registration
   is required. If registration is not required, the applicant must provide
   information in its application sufficient for the Commission to verify this
   fact.

   (e) Environmental concerns. Each applicant is required to indicate at the
   time its application is filed whether or not a Commission grant of the
   application may have a significant environmental effect, as defined by
    Sec. 1.1307  of  this chapter. If answered affirmatively, an Environmental
   Assessment, required by  Sec. 1.1311 of this chapter, must be filed with the
   application and environmental review by the Commission must be completed
   prior to construction.

   (f) International coordination. Channel assignments and/or usage under this
   part are subject to the applicable provisions and requirements of treaties
   and other international agreements between the United States government and
   the governments of Canada and Mexico.

   (g)  Quiet zones. Each applicant is required to comply with the “Quiet
   Zone” rule (see  Sec. 1.924).

   (h)  Taxpayer  Identification  Number  (TINs). Wireless applicants and
   licensees, including all attributable owners of auctionable licenses as
   defined by  Sec. 1.2112 of this part, are required to provide their Taxpayer
   Identification  Numbers  (TINS)  (as defined in 26 U.S.C. 6109) to the
   Commission, pursuant to the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA).
   Under the DCIA, the FCC may use an applicant or licensee's TIN for purposes
   of collecting and reporting to the Department of the Treasury any delinquent
   amounts arising out of such person's relationship with the Government. The
   Commission will not publicly disclose applicant or licensee TINs unless
   authorized by law, but will assign a “public identification number” to each
   applicant or licensee registering a TIN. This public identification number
   will be used for agency purposes other than debt collection.

   (i)  Unless  an exception is set forth elsewhere in this chapter, each
   applicant must specify an address where the applicant can receive mail
   delivery by the United States Postal Service. This address will be used by
   the Commission to serve documents or direct correspondence to the applicant.
