Sec.  25.130   Filing requirements for transmitting earth stations.

   (a) Applications for a new or modified transmitting earth station facility
   shall be submitted on FCC Form 312, Main Form and Schedule B, accompanied by
   any required exhibits, except for those earth station applications filed on
   FCC  Form 312EZ pursuant to  Sec. 25.115(a). All such earth station license
   applications must be filed electronically through the International Bureau
   Filing System (IBFS) in accordance with the applicable provisions of part 1,
   subpart Y of this chapter. Additional filing requirements for ESVs are
   described in  Sec.  Sec. 25.221 and 25.222. In addition, applicants not required to
   submit applications on Form 312EZ, other than ESV applicants, must submit
   the following information to be used as an “informative” in the public
   notice issued under  Sec. 25.151 as an attachment to their application:

   (1)  A  detailed  description of the service to be provided, including
   frequency bands and satellites to be used. The applicant must identify
   either the specific satellite(s) with which it plans to operate, or the
   eastern and western boundaries of the arc it plans to coordinate.

   (2) The diameter or equivalent diameter of the antenna.

   (3) Proposed power and power density levels.

   (4) Identification of any random access technique, if applicable.

   (5)  Identification  of a specific rule or rules for which a waiver is
   requested.

   (b) A frequency coordination analysis in accordance with  Sec. 25.203 shall be
   provided for earth stations transmitting in the frequency bands shared with
   equal  rights  between  terrestrial  and  space  services, except that
   applications  for  user  transceiver  units  associated  with the NVNG
   mobile-satellite service shall instead provide the information required by
    Sec. 25.135 and applications for user transceiver units associated with the
   1.6/2.4 GHz Mobile-Satellite Service shall demonstrate that user transceiver
   operations comply with the requirements set forth in  Sec. 25.213.

   (c) In those cases where an applicant is filing a number of essentially
   similar applications, showings of a general nature applicable to all of the
   proposed  stations  may  be  submitted  in the initial application and
   incorporated by reference in subsequent applications.

   (d) Transmissions of signals or programming to non-U.S. licensed satellites,
   and to and/or from foreign points by means of U.S.-licensed fixed satellites
   may be subject to restrictions as a result of international agreements or
   treaties. The Commission will maintain public information on the status of
   any such agreements.

   (e) Each application proposing construction of one or more earth station
   antennas or alteration of the overall height of one or more existing earth
   station antennas, where FAA notification prior to such construction or
   alteration is required by part 17 of this chapter, must include the FCC
   Antenna Structure Registration Number(s) for the affected satellite earth
   station antenna(s). If no such number has been assigned at the time the
   application(s) is filed, the applicant must state in the application whether
   the  satellite earth station antenna owner has notified the FAA of the
   proposed construction or alteration and applied to the FCC for an antenna
   Structure Registration Number in accordance with part 17 of this chapter.
   Applications proposing construction of one or more earth station antennas or
   alteration of the overall height of one or more existing earth station
   antennas, where FAA notification prior to such construction or notification
   or alteration is not required by part 17 of this chapter, must indicate such
   and, unless the satellite earth station antenna is 6.10 meters or less above
   ground level (AGL), must contain a statement explaining why FAA notification
   is not required.

   (f) Applicants seeking to operate in a shared government/non-government band
   must provide the half-power beam width of their proposed earth station
   antenna, as an attachment to their applications.
