Sec.  101.21   Technical content of applications.

   Applications, except FCC Form 175, must contain all technical information
   required by the application form and any additional information necessary to
   fully describe the proposed facilities and to demonstrate compliance with
   all technical requirements of the rules governing the radio service involved
   (see  subparts C, F, G, I, J, and L of this part, as appropriate). The
   following paragraphs describe a number of technical requirements.

   (a) [Reserved]

   (b) Each application for a developmental authorization must be accompanied
   by pertinent supplemental information as required by  Sec. 101.411 of this part
   in addition to such information as may be specifically required by this
   section.

   (c)–(d) [Reserved]

   (e)  Each  application in the Private Operational Fixed Point-to-Point
   Microwave Service and the Common Carrier Fixed Point-to-Point Microwave
   Service must include the following information:

   Applicant's name and address.

   Transmitting station name.

   Transmitting station coordinates.

   Frequencies and polarizations to be added, changed or deleted.

   Transmitting equipment, its stability, effective isotropic radiated power,
   emission designator, and type of modulation (digital).

   Transmitting antenna(s), model, gain, and, if required, a radiation pattern
   provided or certified by the manufacturer.

   Transmitting antenna center line height(s) above ground level and ground
   elevation above mean sea level.

   Receiving station name.

   Receiving station coordinates.

   Receiving antenna(s), model, gain, and, if required, a radiation pattern
   provided or certified by the manufacturer.

   Receiving  antenna center line height(s) above ground level and ground
   elevation above mean sea level.

   Path azimuth and distance.

   Note: The position location of antenna sites shall be determined to an
   accuracy of no less than  ±1 second in the horizontal dimensions (latitude
   and longitude) and  ±1 meter in the vertical dimension (ground elevation)
   with respect to the National Spacial Reference System.

   (f)  All  applicants  for regular authorization must, before filing an
   application, major amendments to a pending application, or modifications to
   a license, prior coordinate the proposed frequency usage with existing users
   in the area and other applicants with previously filed applications in
   accordance with the procedures in  Sec. 101.103. In those frequency bands shared
   with the communication-satellite service, an applicant for a new station,
   for new points of communication, for the initial frequency assignment in a
   shared band for which coordination has not been previously effected, or for
   authority to modify the emission or radiation characteristics of an existing
   station  in  a  manner  that  may  increase  the likelihood of harmful
   interference, must ascertain in advance whether the station(s) involved lie
   within the great circle coordination distance contours of an existing Earth
   station or one for which an application has been accepted for filing, and
   must  coordinate his proposal with each such Earth station operator or
   applicant. For each potential interference path, the applicant must perform
   the  computations  required  to  determine  that the expected level of
   interference to or from the terrestrial station does not exceed the maximum
   permissible  interference power level in accordance with the technical
   standards and requirements of  Sec. 25.251 of this chapter. The Commission may,
   in  the course of examining any application, require the submission of
   additional  showings, complete with pertinent data and calculations in
   accordance with part 25 of this chapter, showing that harmful interference
   will  not  likely  result  from  the  proposed  operation.  (Technical
   characteristics of the Earth stations on file and coordination contour maps
   for those Earth stations will be kept on file for public inspection in the
   offices of the Commission's International Bureau in Washington, DC.)

   (g) Each application in the Local Multipoint Distribution Service and 24 GHz
   Service must contain all technical information required by FCC Form 601 and
   any other applicable form or associated Public Notices and by any applicable
   rules in this part.
