Sec. 22.150 Standard pre-filing technical coordination procedure.
For operations on certain channels in the Public Mobile Services, carriers
must attempt to coordinate the proposed use of spectrum with other spectrum
users prior to filing an application for authority to operate a station.
Rules requiring this procedure for specific channels and types of stations
are contained in the subparts governing the individual Public Mobile
Services.
(a) Coordination comprises two steps—notification and response. Each step
may be accomplished orally or in writing.
(b) Notification must include relevant technical details of the proposal. At
minimum, this should include the following:
(1) Geographical coordinates of the antenna site(s).
(2) Transmitting and receiving channels to be added or changed.
(3) Transmitting power, emission type and polarization.
(4) Transmitting antenna pattern and maximum gain.
(5) Transmitting antenna height above ground level.
(c) Applicants and licensees receiving notification must respond promptly,
even if no channel usage conflicts are anticipated. If any notified party
fails to respond within 30 days, the applicant may file the application
without a response from that party.
(d) The 30-day period begins on the date the notification is submitted to
the Commission via the ULS. If the notification is by mail, this date may be
ascertained by:
(1) The return receipt on certified mail,
(2) The enclosure of a card to be dated and returned by the party being
notified, or
(3) A reasonable estimate of the time required for the mail to reach its
destination. In this case, the date when the 30-day period will expire must
be stated in the notification.
(e) All channel usage conflicts discovered during the coordination process
should be resolved prior to filing of the application. If the applicant is
unable or unwilling to resolve a particular conflict, the application may be
accepted for filing if it contains a statement describing the unresolved
conflict and a brief explanation of the reasons why a resolution was not
achieved.
(f) If a number of changes in the technical parameters of a proposed
facility become necessary during the course of the coordination process, an
attempt should be made to minimize the number of separate notifications. If
the changes are incorporated into a completely revised notice, the items
that were changed from the previous notice should be identified.
(g) In situations where subsequent changes are not numerous or complex, the
party receiving the changed notification should make an effort to respond in
less than 30 days. If the applicant believes a shorter response time is
reasonable and appropriate, it should so indicate in the notice and suggest
a response date.
(h) If a subsequent change in the technical parameters of a proposed
facility could not affect the facilities of one or more of the parties that
received an initial notification, the applicant is not required to
coordinate that change with these parties. However, these parties must be
advised of the change and of the opinion that coordination is not required.
