§ 22.737   Temporary fixed stations.

   The FCC may, upon proper application therefor, authorize the construction
   and operation of temporary fixed stations. Temporary fixed stations are to
   be used as rural subscriber, interoffice, or central office stations when
   those  stations are unavailable or when service from those stations is
   disrupted by storms or emergencies.

   (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 Canada or 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.
