Sec. 87.215  Supplemental eligibility.

    (a) A unicom and any associated dispatch or control points must be 
located on the airport to be served.
    (b) Only one unicom will be authorized to operate at an airport 
which does not have a control tower, RCO or FAA flight service station. 
At an airport which has a part-time or full-time control tower, RCO or 
FAA flight service station, the one unicom limitation does not apply and 
the airport operator and all aviation services organizations may be 
licensed to operate a unicom on the assigned frequency.
    (c) At an airport where only one unicom may be licensed, when the 
Commission believes that the unicom has been abandoned or has ceased 
operation, another unicom may be licensed on an interim basis pending 
final determination of the status of the original unicom. An applicant 
for an interim license must notify the present licensee and must comply 
with the notice requirements of paragraph (d) of this section.
    (d) An applicant for a unicom license, renewal or modification of 
frequency assignment at an airport which does not have a control tower, 
RCO or FAA flight service station must notify in writing the owner of 
the airport and all aviation service organizations located at the 
airport. The notice must include the applicant's name and address, the 
name of the airport and a statement that the applicant intends to file 
an application with the Commission for a unicom. The notice must be 
given within the ten days preceding the filing of the application with 
the Commission. Each applicant must submit a statement that either 
notice has been given and include the date of notification, or notice is 
not required because the applicant owns the airport and there are no 
organizations that should be notified.
