§ 22.529   Application requirements for the Paging and Radiotelephone Service.

   In  addition to information required by subparts B and D of this part,
   applications for authorization in the Paging and Radiotelephone Service
   contain required information as described in the instructions to the form.
   Site coordinates must be referenced to NAD83 and be correct to + -1 second.

   (a) Administrative information. The following information, associated with
   Form 601, is required as indicated. Each application of any type, including
   applications for paging geographic area authorizations, must contain one and
   only one Schedule A.

   (1) The purpose of the filing is required for each application of any type.

   (2) The geographic area designator, channel and geographic area name are
   required  only  for  each  application  for  a  paging geographic area
   authorization.

   (3) The FCC control point number, if any, the location (street address, city
   or town, state), the telephone number and an indication of the desired
   database action are required only for each application proposing to add or
   delete a control point.

   (4) The FCC location number, file number and location (street address, city
   or town, state) of authorized facilities that have not been constructed are
   required  only for each application requesting an extension of time to
   construct those facilities.

   (b) Technical data. The following data, associated with FCC Form 601, are
   required  as indicated for each application. Applications for a paging
   geographic area authorization must not contain Schedule B. Other type of
   applications  may contain as many Schedule Bs as are necessary for the
   intended purpose.

   (1) For each transmitting antenna site to be added, deleted or modified, the
   following are required: an indication of the desired database action, the
   Commission location number, if any, the street address or other description
   of the transmitting antenna site, the city, county and state, the geographic
   coordinates  (latitude  and  longitude),  correct to ±1 second, of the
   transmitting antenna site (NAD83), and in the case of a proposed relocation
   of a transmitting antenna, the Commission location number and geographic
   coordinates, correct to ±1 second, of the transmitting antenna site (NAD83)
   to which the geographic coordinates of the current location are referenced.

   (2) For each transmitting antenna site to be added, deleted or modified, the
   following supplementary information is required: An indication as to whether
   or not the transmitting antenna site is within 200 kilometers (124 miles) of
   the  U.S.-Mexico  border,  and  an indication as to whether or not the
   transmitting antenna site is North of Line A or East of Line C. Line A and
   Line C are defined in § 2.1 of this chapter. For each adjacent geographic
   area within 200 kilometers (124 miles) of each transmitting antenna site to
   be added, deleted or modified, the geographic area designator and name, and
   the shortest distance (in kilometers) to the boundary of that geographic
   area.

   (3) The height (in meters) above average terrain of the center of radiation
   of the antenna, the beamwidth of the main lobe of the horizontal radiation
   pattern of the electric field of the antenna, the height (in meters) to the
   tip of the antenna above ground level, a polar plot of the horizontal gain
   pattern  of  the antenna, the antenna gain in the maximum lobe and the
   electric  field  polarization  of the wave emitted by the antenna when
   installed as proposed.

   (i)  The  center  frequency  of the requested channel, the transmitter
   classification  (e.g.  base,  fixed  mobile),  the  designator for any
   non-standard emission type to be used, including bandwidth and modulation
   type, and the maximum effective radiated power.

   (ii) For each of the eight cardinal radials, the antenna height above the
   average elevation along the radial, and the effective radiated power of each
   transmitter in the direction of the radial.

   (iii) For each transmitter proposed to transmit on a channel reserved for
   point-to-multipoint operation involving transmission to four or more points
   of communications (i.e. base transmitters), the following is required for
   each point of communication: an indication of the desired database action,
   the  location  (city or town, state), and the geographical coordinates
   (latitude and longitude, NAD 83).

   (c) Upon request by an applicant, licensee, or the Commission, a part 22
   applicant or licensee of whom the request is made shall furnish the antenna
   type, model, and the name of the antenna manufacturer to the requesting
   party within ten (10) days of receiving written notification.
