§ 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.
