§ 22.953   Content and form of applications for Cellular Unserved Area
authorizations.

   Applications for authority to operate a new Cellular system or to modify an
   existing  Cellular  system must comply with the specifications in this
   section.

   (a) New Systems. In addition to information required by subpart B of this
   part and by FCC Form 601, applications for an Unserved Area authorization to
   operate a Cellular system must comply with all applicable requirements set
   forth in part 1 of this chapter, including the requirements specified in
   § § 1.913, 1.923, and 1.924, and must include the information listed below.
   Geographical coordinates must be correct to ±1 second using the NAD 83
   datum.

   (1) Exhibit I—Geographic Information System (GIS) map files. Geographic
   Information System (GIS) map files must be submitted showing the entire
   proposed CGSA, the new cell sites (transmitting antenna locations), and the
   service area boundaries of additional and modified cell sites that extend
   into Unserved Area being claimed as CGSA. See § 22.911. The FCC will specify
   the file format required for the GIS map files, which are to be submitted
   electronically via the Universal Licensing System (ULS).

   (2) Exhibit II—Reduced-size PDF map. This map must be 81⁄2 × 11 inches (if
   possible, a proportional reduction of a 1:500,000 scale map). The map must
   have  a  legend,  a distance scale, and correctly labeled latitude and
   longitude lines. The map must be clear and legible. The map must accurately
   show the entire proposed CGSA, the new cell sites (transmitting antenna
   locations), the service area boundaries of additional and modified cell
   sites that extend beyond the CGSA, and the relevant portions of the CMA
   boundary. See § 22.911.

   (3) Exhibit III—Technical Information. In addition, upon request by an
   applicant, licensee, or the FCC, a Cellular applicant or licensee of whom
   the request is made shall furnish the antenna type, model, the name of the
   antenna manufacturer, antenna gain in the maximum lobe, the beam width of
   the maximum lobe of the antenna, a polar plot of the horizontal gain pattern
   of the antenna, antenna height to tip above ground level, the height of the
   center of radiation of the antenna above the average terrain, the maximum
   effective radiated power, and the electric field polarization of the wave
   emitted by the antenna when installed as proposed to the requesting party
   within ten (10) days of receiving written notification.

   (4)-(10) [Reserved]

   (11) Additional information. The FCC may request information not specified
   in FCC Form 601 or in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(3) of this section as
   necessary to process an application.

   (b)  Existing  systems—major  modifications.  Licensees  making  major
   modifications pursuant to § 1.929(a) and (b) of this chapter must file FCC
   Form 601 and comply with the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section.

   (c)  Existing  systems—minor  modifications.  Licensees  making  minor
   modifications pursuant to § 1.929(k) of this chapter, must file FCC Form 601
   or FCC Form 603. See also § 22.169. If the modification involves a contract
   SAB  extension into or from the Gulf of Mexico Exclusive Zone, it must
   include a certification that the required written consent has been obtained.
   See § 22.912(c).
