  § 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, and associated Schedule B, accompanied
   by any required exhibits, except for those earth station applications filed
   on FCC Form 312EZ pursuant to § 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 Earth Stations
   on  Vessels  are  described  in § § 25.221 and 25.222. Additional filing
   requirements for Vehicle-Mounted Earth Stations are described in § 25.226.
   Additional  filing requirements for Earth Stations Aboard Aircraft are
   described in § 25.227. In addition, applicants that are not required to
   submit applications on Form 312EZ, other than ESV, VMES or ESAA applicants,
   must submit the following information to be used as an “informative” in the
   public notice issued under § 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 § 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
   § 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 § 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) [Reserved]

   (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.

   (g) Parties may apply for a single FSS earth station license under one call
   sign covering operation of multiple transmitting antennas not eligible for
   blanket licensing under another section of this part, in the following
   circumstances:

   (1) The antennas would transmit in frequency bands shared with terrestrial
   services on a co-primary basis and the antennas would be sited within an
   area bounded by 1 second of latitude and 1 second of longitude.

   (2) The antennas would transmit in frequency bands allocated to FSS on a
   primary  basis  and  there is no co-primary allocation for terrestrial
   services, and the antennas would be sited within an area bounded by 10
   seconds of latitude and 10 seconds of longitude.

   Note to paragraph (g): This paragraph does not apply to applications filed
   pursuant to § 25.134, § 25.138, § 25.221, § 25.222, § 25.226, or § 25.227 or to
   applications  for 29 GHz NGSO MSS feeder link stations in a complex as
   defined in § 25.257.
