§ 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.
