Sec. 22.313 Station identification.
The licensee of each station in the Public Mobile Services must
ensure that the transmissions of that station are identified in
accordance with the requirements of this section.
(a) Station identification is not required for transmission by:
(1) Stations in the Cellular Radiotelephone Service;
(2) General aviation ground stations in the Air-ground
Radiotelephone Service;
(3) Rural subscriber stations using meteor burst propagation mode
communications in the Rural Radiotelephone Service;
(4) Stations using Basic Exchange Telephone Radio Systems in the
Rural Radiotelephone Service;
(5) Nationwide network paging stations operating on 931 MHz
channels; or,
(6) Stations operating pursuant to paging geographic area
authorizations.
(b) For all other stations in the Public Mobile Services, station
identification must be transmitted each hour within five minutes of the
hour, or upon completion of the first transmission after the hour.
Transmission of station identification may be temporarily delayed to
avoid interrupting the continuity of any public communication in
progress, provided that station identification is transmitted at the
conclusion of that public communication.
(c) Station identification must be transmitted by telephony using
the English language or by telegraphy using the international Morse
code, and in a form that can be received using equipment appropriate for
the modulation type employed, and understood without the use of
unscrambling devices, except that, alternatively, station identification
may be transmitted digitally, provided that the licensee provides the
Commission with information sufficient to decode the digital
transmission to ascertain the call sign. Station identification
comprises transmission of the call sign assigned by the Commission to
the station, however, the following may be used in lieu of the call
sign.
(1) For transmission from subscriber operated transmitters, the
telephone number or other designation assigned by the carrier, provided
that a written record of such designations is maintained by the carrier;
(2) For general aviation airborne mobile stations in the Air-Ground
Radiotelephone Service, the official FAA registration number of the
aircraft;
