  • Letter at 1, dated May 11, 2007. Where revised information would result in a decrease of any CGSA defining site (arising from a reduction in operating power or the removal or relocation of a transmitter, for example), a licensee must notify the FCC by filing FCC Form 601, including full-sized maps, reduced maps, and supporting engineering as described in Section 22.953(a)(1)-(3) of the Commission's rules. 47 C.F.R. � 22.953 (a) (1)-(3). Licensees must submit a full-size 1:500,000 scale map, and a reduced scale 81/2x11 inch map with cellular applications involving a change to the CGSA. Because it is not practical to scan the large maps and upload them when filing applications on-line, applicants are asked to manually file these maps with

  • Subpart H rules as well as certain Part 1 rules applicable to Cellular licensing in an effort to streamline or update them, and we propose certain changes. We have also reviewed these rules to determine whether any should be deleted as obsolete or, going forward, no longer necessary. For example, we believe that certain items required under sections 22.929 and 22.953(a) will no longer be routinely of interest to the Commission's engineering staff in their review of Cellular applications in the future, and accordingly, we propose to streamline these requirements in a revised section 22.953 (and a corresponding deletion of section 22.929). In addition, with sunset of the requirement to provide analog Cellular service, all of section 22.901(b) has been rendered
