§  23.28   Special temporary authorization.

   (a) Requests for special temporary authority must be accompanied by a
   showing that interference will not be caused to the fixed public or
   fixed public press service for which the station is primarily licensed;
   and, in addition, such requests must be accompanied by the following:

   (1) A statement of the call signs, location, and frequencies of the
   transmitting station; The call signs, location, and frequencies of the
   received station; and the type or types of emission to be employed by
   both stations.

   (2) A statement as to whether the frequencies are to be used for
   contact control purposes only.

   (3) A statement of the period for which the temporary authority is
   desired.

   (4) A statement describing the service which is to be rendered.

   (b) Temporary authorizations of operation not to exceed 180 days may be
   granted under the standards of section 309(f) of the Communications Act
   where extraordinary circumstances so require. Extensions of the
   temporary authorizations for a period of 180 days may also be granted,
   but the renewal applicant bears a heavy burden to show that
   extraordinary circumstances warrant such an extension.

   (c) Each application proposing construction of one or more new antenna
   structures or alteration of the overall height of one or more existing
   antenna structures, where FAA notification prior to such construction
   or alteration is required by part 17 of this chapter, must include the
   FCC Antenna Structure Registration Number(s) for the affected
   structure(s). If no such number has been assigned at the time the
   application(s) is filed, the applicant must state in the application
   whether the owner has notified the FAA of the proposed construction or
   alteration and applied to the FCC for an Antenna Structure Registration
   Number in accordance with part 17 of this chapter. Applications
   proposing construction of one or more new antenna structures or
   alteration of the overall height of one or more existing antenna
   structures, where FAA notification prior to such construction or
   alteration is not required by part 17 of this chapter, must indicate
   such and, unless the structure is 6.10-meters or less above ground
   level (AGL), must contain a statement explaining why FAA notification
   is not required.
