Sec. 22.953 Content and form of applications.
Applications for authority to operate a cellular system in an unserved area
must comply with the specifications in this section.
(a) Applications for authority to operate a cellular system in an unserved
area must include the following information in addition to the requirements
specified in Sec. Sec. 1.919, 1.923 and 1.924. The following exhibits must be set
off by tabs and numbered as follows:
(1) Exhibit I—full-size map . The scale of the full-size map must be
1:500,000, regardless of whether any different scale is used for the reduced
map required in Exhibit II. The map must have a legend, a distance scale and
correctly labeled latitude and longitude lines. The map must be clear and
legible. The map must accurately show the cell sites (transmitting antenna
locations), the entire CGSA, any extension of the composite service area
boundary beyond the CGSA ( see Sec. 22.911) and the relevant portions of the
cellular market boundary.
(2) Exhibit II—reduced map . This map must be a proportional reduction, to
81/2× 11 inches, of the full-size map required for Exhibit I, unless it
proves to be impractical to depict the entire cellular market by reducing
the full-size map. In such instance, an 81/2×11 inch map of a different
scale may be substituted, provided that the required features of the
full-size map are clearly depicted and labeled.
(3) Exhibit III—engineering . This exhibit must contain the data and
methodology used to calculate the CGSA and service area boundary.
(4) Exhibit IV—channel plan . This exhibit must show which specific channels
(or groups) are to be used at each cell site. Any necessary table for
converting channel numbers to center frequencies must be provided.
(5) [Reserved]
(6) Exhibit VI—service proposal . This exhibit must describe the services
proposed for subscribers and roamers, including the proposed method for
handling complaints.
(7) Exhibit VII—cellular design . This exhibit must show that the proposed
system design complies with cellular system design concepts, and must
describe the method proposed to expand the system in a coordinated fashion
as necessary to address changing demand for cellular service.
(8) Exhibit VIII—blocking level . This exhibit must disclose the blocking
probability or other criteria to be used to determine whether it is
necessary to take measures to increase system capacity to maintain service
quality.
(9) Exhibit IX—start-up expenses . This exhibit must disclose in detail the
projected cost of construction and other initial expenses of the proposed
system, and how the applicant intends to meet these expenses and the costs
of operation for the first year.
(10) Exhibit X—interconnection arrangements . This exhibit is required for
applicants that provide public landline message telephone service in any
portion of the proposed CGSA. This exhibit must describe exactly how the
proposed system would interconnect with the landline network. The
description must be of sufficient detail to enable a competitor to connect
with the landline system in exactly the same manner, if the competitor so
chooses.
(b) Existing systems—major modifications . Licensees making major
modifications pursuant to Sec. 1.929(a) and (b) of this chapter, must file FCC
Form 601 and need only contain the exhibits required by paragraphs (a)(1)
through (a)(3) of this section.
(c) Existing systems—minor modifications . Licensees making minor
modifications pursuant to Sec. 1.929(k) of this chapter—in which the
modification causes a change in the CGSA boundary (including the removal of
a transmitter or transmitters)—must notify the FCC (using FCC Form 601) and
include full-sized maps, reduced maps, and supporting engineering exhibits
as described in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of this section. If the
modification involves a contract SAB extension, it must include a statement
as to whether the five-year build-out for the system on the relevant channel
block in the market into which the SAB extends has elapsed, and as to
whether the SAB extends into any unserved area in that market.
