aeronautical frequency bands.
(3) FCC Form 322, Cable Community Registration. FCC Form 322 is used by
cable system operators to commence operation for each community unit.
(4) FCC Form 324, Operator, Address, and Operational Information Changes.

distribution data.
(6) FCC Form 327, Application for Cable Television Relay Service Station

is also used to apply for Commission consent to assignments of existing CARS
authorizations and to apply for Commission consent to the transfer of
control of entities holding CARS authorizations.
(b) Electronic filing. Six months after the Commission announces their
availability for electronic filing, all applications and other filings using
FCC Forms 320, 321, 322, 324, 325, and 327 and their respective associated
schedules must be filed electronically in accordance with the electronic
filing instructions provided by COALS.
(1) There will be two ways for parties to electronically file applications
with the Commission: batch and interactive.
(i) Batch filing. Batch filing involves data transmission in a single
action. Batch filers will follow a set Commission format for entering data.
Batch filers will then send, via file transfer protocol, batches of data to
the Commission for compiling. COALS will compile such filings overnight and
respond the next business day with a return or dismissal of any defective
filings. Thus, batch filers will not receive immediate correction from the
system as they enter the information.
(ii) Interactive filing. Interactive filing involves data transmission with
screen-by-screen prompting from the Commission's COALS system. Interactive
filers will receive prompts from the system identifying data entries outside
the acceptable ranges of data for the individual fields at the time the data
entry is made.
(2) Attachments to applications must be uploaded along with the
electronically filed application whenever possible.
(3) Any associated documents submitted with an application must be uploaded
as attachments to the application whenever possible. The attachment should
be uploaded via COALS in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF)
whenever possible.
(c) Manual filing. (1) Forms 320, 321, 322, 324, 325, and 327 may be filed
manually.
(2) Manual filings must be submitted to the Commission at the appropriate
address with the appropriate filing fee. The addresses for filing and the
fee amounts for particular applications are listed in subpart G of this
part, and in the appropriate fee filing guide for each service available
from the Commission's Forms Distribution Center by calling 1-800-418-FORM
(3676). The form may be downloaded from the Commission's Web site:
http://www.fcc.gov.
(3) Manual filings requiring fees as set forth at subpart G, of this part
must be filed in accordance with § 0.401(b) of this chapter.
(4) Manual filings that do not require fees must be addressed and sent to
the Media Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20554.
(5) FCC forms may be reproduced and the copies used in accordance with the
provisions of § 0.409 of this chapter.
(d) Applications requiring prior coordination. Parties filing applications
that require frequency coordination shall, prior to filing, complete all
applicable frequency coordination requirements in § 78.36 of this chapter.
