   provided that such project does not involve a major action under the
   Commission's environmental rules. (See subpart I of part 1 of this
   chapter.) Any carrier to which continuing authority has been granted
   under this paragraph shall, not later than the 30th day following the
   end of each 6-month period covered by such authority, file with the
   Commission a statement making reference to this paragraph and setting
   forth, with respect to each project (construction, installation, lease,
   including any renewals thereof), which was commenced or, in the case of
   leases, entered into under such authority, and renewal or renewals
   thereof which were in continuous effect for a period of more than one
   week, the following information:

   commencement and termination of the lease.

   (d)(1) A request may be made by any carrier for continuing authority to
   lease and operate, during any emergency when its regular facilities
   become inoperative or inadequate to handle its traffic, facilities or
   any other carrier between points between which applicant is authorized
   to communicate by radio for the transmission of traffic which applicant
   is authorized to handle.

   (2) Such request shall make reference to this paragraph and set forth
   the points between which applicant desires to operate facilities of
   other carriers and the nature of the traffic to be handled.

   (3) Continuing authority for the operation thereafter of such alternate
   facilities during emergencies shall be deemed granted effective as of
   the 21st day following the filing of the request unless on or before
   that date the Commission shall notify the applicant to the contrary:
   provided, however, Applicant shall, not later than the 30th day
   following the end of each quarter in which it has operated facilities
   of any other carrier pursuant to authority granted under this
   paragraph, file with the Commission a statement in writing making
   reference to this paragraph and describing each occasion during the
   quarter when it has operated such facilities, giving dates, points
   between which such facilities were located, hours or minutes used,
   nature of traffic handled, and reasons why its own facilities could not
   be used.
