Needs and Uses: Section 21.902(b)(5) requires that respondents
engineer the MDS station to limit the calculated free space power flux
density at the boundary of the protected service area (PSA). As an
alternative, the respondent may obtain the written consent of the
entity authorized for the adjoining area when the calculated free space
power flux density exceeds the standard. Section 21.902(g)(2) requires
applicants with 35 mile PSA to notify in writing the holders of
authorizations for adjoining basic trading areas (BTA) or PSAs of
application filings for modified station licenses, provided the
proposed facility would produce an unobstructed signal path to any
location within the adjoining BTA or PSA. This service must include a
copy of the application and occur on or before the date the application
is filed with the Commission. Section 21.902(i) requires each applicant
for a new station or modified MDS station, or amendment thereof, to
provide notice of its application to cochannel and adjacent-channel
authorized ITFS stations within 50 miles. The ITFS study must be
prepared and served on the affected ITFS station, but is not required
to be filed as part of the MDS application. Each applicant is required
to file a written notice with the Commission before the 30th day after
the applicant or amendment is initially filed with the Commission. This
notice must contain the items specified in Section 21.902(i)(4).
Section 21.902(i)(6) requires that a petition to deny filed by an
ITFS licensees contain specific information. The requirements contained
in Section 21.902(c), (f), (g), (j) and (k) have OMB approval under
separate control numbers. The data are used to ensure that no harmful
interference is caused to other authorized stations.
