Sec. 22.165 Additional transmitters for existing systems.
A licensee may operate additional transmitters at additional locations on
the same channel or channel block as its existing system without obtaining
prior Commission approval provided:
(a) International coordination . The locations and/or technical parameters
of the additional transmitters are such that individual coordination of the
channel assignment(s) with a foreign administration, under applicable
international agreements and rules in this part, is not required.
(b) Antenna structure registration. Certain antenna structures must be
registered with the Commission prior to construction or alteration.
Registration requirements are contained in part 17 of this chapter.
(c) Environmental . The additional transmitters must not have a significant
environmental effect as defined by Sec. Sec. 1.1301 through 1.1319 of this chapter.
(d) Paging and Radiotelephone Service . The provisions in this paragraph
apply for stations in the Paging and Radiotelephone Service.
(1) The interfering contours of the additional transmitter(s) must be
totally encompassed by the composite interfering contour of the existing
station (or stations under common control of the applicant) on the same
channel, except that this limitation does not apply to nationwide network
paging stations or in-building radiation systems.
(2) Additional transmitters in the 43 MHz frequency range operate under
developmental authority, subject to the conditions set forth in Sec. 22.411.
(3) The additional transmitters must not operate on control channels in the
72–76 MHz, 470–512 MHz, 928 MHz, 932 MHz, 941 MHz or 959 MHz frequency
ranges.
(e) Cellular radiotelephone service. During the five-year build-out period,
the service area boundaries of the additional transmitters, as calculated by
the method set forth in Sec. 22.911(a), must remain within the market, except
that the service area boundaries may extend beyond the market boundary into
the area that is part of the CGSA or is already encompassed by the service
area boundaries of previously authorized facilities. After the five-year
build-out period, the service area boundaries of the additional
transmitters, as calculated by the method set forth in Sec. 22.911(a), must
remain within the CGSA. Licensees must notify the Commission (FCC Form 601)
of any transmitters added under this section that cause a change in the CGSA
boundary. The notification must include full size and reduced maps, and
supporting engineering, as described in Sec. 22.953(a)(1) through (3). If the
addition of transmitters involves a contract service area boundary (SAB)
extension ( see Sec. 22.912), the notification must include a statement as to
whether the five-year build-out period for the system on the relevant
channel block in the market into which the SAB extends has elapsed and
whether the SAB extends into any unserved area in the market. The
notification must be made electronically via the ULS, or delivered to the
filing place ( see Sec. 1.913 of this chapter) once yearly during the five-year
build-out on the anniversary of the license grant date.
(f) Air-ground Radiotelephone Service. Ground stations may be added to
Commercial Aviation air-ground systems at previously established ground
station locations, pursuant to Sec. 22.859, subject to compliance with the
applicable technical rules. This section does not apply to General Aviation
air-ground stations.
(g) Rural Radiotelephone Service. A “service area” and “interfering
contours” must be determined using the same method as for stations in the
Paging and Radiotelephone Service. The service area and interfering contours
so determined for the additional transmitter(s) must be totally encompassed
by the similarly determined composite service area contour and predicted
interfering contour, respectively, of the existing station on the same
channel. This section does not apply to Basic Exchange Telecommunications
Radio Systems.
(h) Offshore Radiotelephone Service. This section does not apply to stations
in the Offshore Radiotelephone Service.
(i) Provision of information upon request. Upon request by the FCC,
licensees must supply administrative or technical information concerning the
additional transmitters. At the time transmitters are added pursuant to this
section, licensees must make a record of the pertinent technical and
administrative information so that such information is readily available.
See Sec. 22.303.
