§  22.1031   Temporary fixed stations.

   The FCC may, upon proper application therefor, authorize the
   construction and operation of temporary fixed stations in the Offshore
   Radiotelephone service to be used only when the service of permanent
   fixed stations is disrupted by storms or emergencies or is otherwise
   unavailable.

   (a) Six month limitation. If it is necessary for a temporary fixed
   station to remain at the same location for more than six months, the
   licensee of that station must apply for authorization to operate the
   station at the specific location at least 30 days before the end of the
   six month period.

   (b) International communications. Communications between the United
   States and Mexico must not be carried using a temporary fixed station
   without prior authorization from the FCC. Licensees desiring to carry
   such communications should apply sufficiently in advance to allow for
   the time necessary to coordinate with Canada or Mexico.
