§  1.10006   Is electronic filing mandatory?

   Electronic filing is mandatory for all applications for international
   and satellite services for which an International Bureau Filing System
   (IBFS) form is available. Applications for which an electronic form is
   not available must be filed by paper until new forms are introduced.
   See § § 63.20 and 63.53. As each new IBFS form becomes available for
   electronic filing, the Commission will issue a public notice announcing
   the availability of the new form and the effective date of mandatory
   filing for this particular type of filing. As each new form becomes
   effective, manual filings will not be accepted by the Commission and
   the filings will be returned to the applicant without processing.
   Mandatory electronic filing requirements for applications for
   international and satellite services are set forth in parts 1, 25, 63,
   and 64 of this chapter. A list of forms that are available for
   electronic filing can be found on the IBFS homepage. For information on
   electronic filing requirements, see part 1, § § 1.1000 through 1.10018
   and the IBFS homepage at http://www.fcc.gov/ibfs.
