Sec. 22.105  Written applications, standard forms, microfiche, magnetic 
          disks.

    Except for authorizations granted under the emergency conditions set 
forth in section 308 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (47 
U.S.C. 308), the FCC may grant authorizations only upon written 
application (FCC Form 600) received by it. A separate written

any documents, exhibits, or other written statements of fact that the 
FCC may require in determining whether to grant, deny or dismiss an 
application.

    (a) Formal applications, amendments and notifications. Except as 
provided in paragraph (b) of this section, applications, amendments and 
notifications must be filed using the standard forms listed in paragraph 
(c) of this section.
    (b) Informal applications, amendments and notifications. 
Applications, amendments and notifications in letter or document form 
may be accepted for filing, if none of the standard forms listed in this 
section are prescribed for or clearly applicable for the intended 
purpose. Such informal applications, amendments and notifications must 
be submitted in duplicate, with a caption clearly stating the name of 
the filer, nature of the filing, the Public Mobile service involved, the 
call sign of the relevant existing station, if any, and the file number 
of the relevant pending application, if any, and must contain all 
necessary technical data and exhibits.
    (c) Standard forms. Standard forms may be obtained in small 
quantities from the FCC. Standard forms may be reproduced and the copies 
used. Computer-generated standard forms may also be used after approval 
by the FCC staff. Standard forms used for applications, amendments, 
notifications and reports in the Public Mobile Services are listed in 
Table B-1 of this section.
    (d) Microfiche required. All filings and submissions related to 
stations in the Public Mobile Services, including applications 
(including exhibits and attachments), notifications, amendments, 
reports, correspondence and pleadings must be submitted in microfiche 
form, except as provided in paragraphs (d)(1) and (g) of this section.
    (1) Emergency filings, such as requests for special temporary 
authority, need not be submitted in microfiche form. Filings and 
submissions (other than standard application forms) that are no longer 
than three pages need not be submitted in microfiche form. Standard 
application forms must be submitted in microfiche forms, even if they 
comprise three pages or less.
    (2) Three microfiche copies of each filing or submission must be 
submitted, except that, for initial Phase I unserved area applications 
in the Cellular Radiotelephone Service (see Sec. 22.949), two microfiche 
copies must be submitted. Each microfiche copy must be a complete copy 
of the signed paper original. Each microfiche must be a 148 mm by 105 mm 
negative (clear transparent characters appearing on a background 
providing sufficient contrast to make legible copies) at 24 x  or 27 x  
reduction. At least one of the microfiche copies must be a silver halide 
camera master or a copy made on silver halide film such as Kodak Direct 
Duplicatory Film. Microfiche must be placed in paper microfiche 
envelopes and submitted in a 5' by 7\1/2\' envelope. Applicants must 
leave Row ``A'' (the first row for page images) of the first microfiche 
blank for FCC use.
    (3) The following information must be printed on the mailing 
envelope, the microfiche envelope, and the title area at the top of the 
microfiche:
    (i) For notifications, amendments, reports, correspondence, 
pleadings and applications, other than initial applications in the 
Cellular Radiotelephone Service--the name of the applicant, the city and 
state of the application and the call sign of the station, if the 
application refers to an existing station.
    (ii) For initial applications in the Cellular Radiotelephone 
Service--the name of the applicant, the market name, the market number, 
and the channel block.

    (4) The microfiche copies of opposition and reply pleadings may be 
submitted after the required paper originals, in accordance with 
Sec. 1.45 of this chapter.
    (e) Paper original required. The paper originals of notifications, 
amendments, reports, correspondence and applications, other than initial 
Phase I unserved area applications in the Cellular Radiotelephone 
Service, must be submitted at the same time as the microfiche required 
by paragraph (d) of this section. The paper originals of initial Phase I 
unserved area applications selected in random selection processes must 
be submitted 7 days after the release of the public notice announcing 
the tentative selectee. The paper originals of opposition and reply 
pleadings must be submitted within the time frames established by 
Sec. 1.45 of this chapter. Each paper original must be stamped 
``ORIGINAL'' on the top page. In addition to the paper original, paper 
copies of pleadings must be submitted as required by Sec. 1.51 of this 
chapter.
    (f) Correspondence. Correspondence concerning a submitted 
application must clearly identify the name of the filer, nature of the 
filing, the Public Mobile service involved, the call sign of the 
relevant existing station, if any, and the file number (if assigned) of 
the relevant pending application. Correspondence may be sent directly to 
Mobile Services Division, Common Carrier Bureau, Federal Communications, 
Washington, DC 20554.
    (g) Magnetic disks. To assist the FCC in maintaining an accurate 
technical licensing database, applicants are encouraged to submit the 
technical and administrative data contained in applications and 
notifications on magnetic disks. Applicants may also submit, in lieu of 
the microfiche required by paragraph (d) of this section, entire 
applications and notifications on magnetic disks, by including graphics 
files containing the images of the signed paper originals.
    (1) Each application must be submitted on a separate labeled 
standard 3\1/4\;Prime; magnetic disk, formatted to be readable by high-
density floppy drives operating under MS-DOS (3.X or later compatible 
versions). A copy of each disk must also be submitted (2 identical disks 
per application).
