Sec. 22.115  Content of applications.

    Applications must contain all applicable information requested on 
the standard form and any additional information required by the rules 
in this part.
    (a) Site-specific requirements. The following requirements apply to 
all Public Mobile Service applications that involve specific 
transmitting antenna sites:
    (1) Site availability. At the time of filing, applicants must have 
obtained reasonable assurance that all antenna sites specified in their 
applications are available for the proposed use.
    (2) Antenna structure registration. Applications proposing the use 
of one or more new or existing antenna structures must contain the FCC 
Antenna Structure Registration Number, if assigned, of each such antenna 
structure for which Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notification 
is or was required by part 17 of this chapter prior to its construction. 
If, at the time an application is filed, an FCC Antenna Structure 
Registration Number has not been assigned for any such antenna 
structure, the applicant must indicate in the application whether or 
not, as of the date the application is filed, the antenna structure 
owner has registered the antenna structure with the FCC in accordance 
with part 17 of this chapter.
    (3) FAA notification. Before constructing a new antenna structure or 
increasing the height of an existing structure, an antenna structure 
owner may be required to obtain an FAA determination of No Hazard to Air 
Navigation. To obtain this determination, the FAA must be notified of 
the planned construction or alteration. Criteria used to determine 
whether FAA notification is required for any particular antenna 
structure are contained in part 17 of this chapter.
    (i) Applications proposing to use a new antenna structure or an 
existing antenna structure for which the height is increased must 
indicate whether FAA notification is required by part 17 of this 
chapter.
    (ii) If FAA notification is required by part 17 of this chapter, a 
copy of the FAA determination should be included in the application. 
However, if the FAA determination is not available at the time the 
application is filed, the application must include the following 
information in regard to the FAA notification: the name of the person 
that submitted the notification, the date the notification was 
submitted, and the location of the FAA office to which the notification 
was submitted.

    (iii) If FAA notification is not required by part 17 of this 
chapter, the application must indicate such and, unless the reason 
therefor is obvious (e.g. antenna structure height is less than 6.10 
meters above ground level), must contain a statement explaining why FAA 
notification is not required.
    (4) Antenna locations. Applications for stations at fixed locations 
must describe each transmitting antenna site by its geographical 
coordinates and also by its street address, or by reference to a nearby 
landmark. Geographical coordinates must be specified in degrees, 
minutes, and seconds to the nearest second of latitude and longitude.

    Note to paragraph (a)(4) of Sec. 22.115: The FAA has announced that 
effective October 15, 1992, it will use geographic coordinates based on 
the 1983 North American Datum (NAD83). Until further notice, however, 
the FCC will continue to use geographical coordinates based the 1927 
North American Datum (NAD27). Applicants may supply geographical 
coordinates based on NAD83 in addition to those required (NAD27).

    (5) Environmental concerns. Each applicant is required to indicate 
at the time its application is filed whether or not an FCC grant of the 
application may have a significant environmental effect, as defined by 
Sec. 1.1307 of this chapter. If answered affirmatively, an Environmental 
Assessment, required by Sec. 1.1311 of this chapter, must be filed with 
the application and environmental review by the FCC must be completed 
prior to construction.
    (b) Reference to material on file. Questions on application forms 
that call for specific technical data, or that can be answered yes or no 
or with another short answer, must be answered on the form. Otherwise, 
if documents, exhibits, or other lengthy showings already on file with 
the FCC contain information required in an application, the application 
may incorporate such information by reference, provided that:
    (1) The reference information comprises more than one 8\1/2\;Prime; 
x 11Prime; page and is current and accurate in all material respects; 
and,
    (2) The reference states specifically where the referenced 
information can actually be found, including:
    (i) The station call sign or application file number, if the 
reference is to station files or previously filed applications;
    (ii) The title of the proceeding, the docket number, and any legal 
citations, if the reference is to a docketed proceeding.
    (c) Service specific requirements. Applications for authorization in 
the Cellular Radiotelephone Service must contain specific information as 
required by Sec. 22.929 and Sec. 22.953. Applications for authorization 
in the Paging and Radiotelephone Service must contain specific 
information as required by Sec. 22.529, Sec. 22.559 and Sec. 22.589. 
Applications for authorization in the Rural Radiotelephone Service must 
contain the information required by Sec. 22.709. Applications for 
authorization in the Offshore Radio Service must contain the information 
required by Sec. 22.1037. Applications for authorization in the Air-
Ground Radiotelephone Service must contain specific information as 
required by Sec. 22.803 and Sec. 22.875, as appropriate.
