Sec. 80.33 Developmental license.
This section contains rules about the licensing of developmental operations
at stations subject to this part.
(a) Supplemental eligibility. An authorization for developmental operation
will be issued only to persons eligible to operate such stations on a
regular basis.
(b) Showing required. Each application for a developmental license must be
accompanied by the following showing:
(1) The applicant has an organized plan of development leading to an
objective;
(2) A point has been reached in the program where actual transmission by
radio is essential to progress;
(3) The program will contribute to the use of the radio services subject to
this part;
(4) The program will be conducted by qualified personnel;
(5) The applicant is legally qualified and possesses technical facilities
for conduct of the program as proposed; and
(6) The public interest, convenience and necessity will be served by the
proposed operation.
(c) Statement of understanding. The showing must state that the applicant
agrees that any developmental license issued will be accepted with the
express understanding that it is subject to change in any of its terms or to
cancellation in its entirety at any time, upon reasonable notice but without
a hearing, if, in the opinion of the Commission, circumstances should so
require.
(d) Assignable frequencies. Applicants for a developmental license may be
authorized to use a frequency or frequencies available for the service and
class of station proposed. The number of frequencies assignable to a
particular station will depend upon the specific requirements of the
developmental program and the number of frequencies available for use in the
area where the station is to be operated.
(e) Developmental program. (1) The developmental program as described by the
applicant in the application for authorization must be substantially
followed unless the Commission otherwise directs.
(2) Where some phases of the developmental program are not covered by the
general rules of the Commission and the rules in this part, the Commission
may specify supplemental or additional requirements or conditions.
(3) The Commission may, from time to time, require a station engaged in
developmental work to conduct special tests which are reasonable to the
authorized developmental program.
(f) Use of developmental stations. (1) Stations authorized to conduct
developmental operations must conform to all applicable technical and
operating requirements contained in this part, unless a waiver is
specifically provided in the station authorization.
(2) Communication with any station of a country other than the United States
is prohibited unless specifically provided in the station authorization.
(3) Developmental operations must not cause harmful interference to the
operation of stations regularly authorized to use the frequency or
frequencies.
(g) Report of operation required. A report on the results of the
developmental program must be filed within 60 days of the expiration of the
license. A report must accompany a request for renewal of the license.
Matters which the applicant does not wish to disclose publicly may be so
labeled; they will be used solely for the Commission's information. However,
public disclosure is governed by Sec. 0.467 of this chapter. The report must
include the following:
(1) Results of operation to date.
(2) Analysis of the results obtained.
(3) Copies of any published reports.
(4) Need for continuation of the program.
(5) Number of hours of operation on each authorized frequency during the
term of the license to the date of the report.
