§ 22.529   Application requirements for the Paging and Radiotelephone Service.

   In addition to information required by subparts B and D of this part,
   applications for authorization in the Paging and Radiotelephone Service
   contain required information as described in the instructions to the
   form. Site coordinates must be referenced to NAD83 and be correct to +
   −1 second.

   (a) Administrative information. The following information, associated
   with Form 601, is required as indicated. Each application of any type,
   including applications for paging geographic area authorizations, must
   contain one and only one Schedule A.

   (1) The purpose of the filing is required for each application of any
   type.

   (2) The geographic area designator, channel and geographic area name
   are required only for each application for a paging geographic area
   authorization.

   (3) The FCC control point number, if any, the location (street address,
   city or town, state), the telephone number and an indication of the
   desired database action are required only for each application
   proposing to add or delete a control point.

   (4) The FCC location number, file number and location (street address,
   city or town, state) of authorized facilities that have not been
   constructed are required only for each application requesting an
   extension of time to construct those facilities.

   (b) Technical data. The following data, associated with FCC Form 601,
   are required as indicated for each application. Applications for a
   paging geographic area authorization must not contain Schedule B. Other
   type of applications may contain as many Schedule Bs as are necessary
   for the intended purpose.

   (1) For each transmitting antenna site to be added, deleted or
   modified, the following are required: an indication of the desired
   database action, the Commission location number, if any, the street
   address or other description of the transmitting antenna site, the
   city, county and state, the geographic coordinates (latitude and
   longitude), correct to ±1 second, of the transmitting antenna site
   (NAD83), and in the case of a proposed relocation of a transmitting
   antenna, the Commission location number and geographic coordinates,
   correct to ±1 second, of the transmitting antenna site (NAD83) to which
   the geographic coordinates of the current location are referenced.

   (2) For each transmitting antenna site to be added, deleted or
   modified, the following supplementary information is required: An
   indication as to whether or not the transmitting antenna site is within
   200 kilometers (124 miles) of the U.S.-Mexico border, and an indication
   as to whether or not the transmitting antenna site is North of Line A
   or East of Line C. Line A and Line C are defined in § 2.1 of this
   chapter. For each adjacent geographic area within 200 kilometers (124
   miles) of each transmitting antenna site to be added, deleted or
   modified, the geographic area designator and name, and the shortest
   distance (in kilometers) to the boundary of that geographic area.

   (3) The height (in meters) above average terrain of the center of
   radiation of the antenna, the beamwidth of the main lobe of the
   horizontal radiation pattern of the electric field of the antenna, the
   height (in meters) to the tip of the antenna above ground level, a
   polar plot of the horizontal gain pattern of the antenna, the antenna
   gain in the maximum lobe and the electric field polarization of the
   wave emitted by the antenna when installed as proposed.

   (i) The center frequency of the requested channel, the transmitter
   classification (e.g. base, fixed mobile), the designator for any
   non-standard emission type to be used, including bandwidth and
   modulation type, and the maximum effective radiated power.

   (ii) For each of the eight cardinal radials, the antenna height above
   the average elevation along the radial, and the effective radiated
   power of each transmitter in the direction of the radial.

   (iii) For each transmitter proposed to transmit on a channel reserved
   for point-to-multipoint operation involving transmission to four or
   more points of communications (i.e. base transmitters), the following
   is required for each point of communication: an indication of the
   desired database action, the location (city or town, state), and the
   geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude, NAD 83).

   (c) Upon request by an applicant, licensee, or the Commission, a part
   22 applicant or licensee of whom the request is made shall furnish the
   antenna type, model, and the name of the antenna manufacturer to the
   requesting party within ten (10) days of receiving written
   notification.
