Sec. 1.923  Content of applications.

    (a) General. Applications must contain all information requested on 
the applicable form and any additional information required by the rules 
in this chapter and any rules pertaining to the specific service for 
which the application is filed.
    (b) Reference to material on file. Questions on application forms 
that call for specific technical data, or that can be answered yes or no 
or with another short answer, must be answered on the form. Otherwise, 
if documents, exhibits, or other lengthy showings already on file with 
the FCC contain information required in an application, the application 
may incorporate such information by reference, provided that:
    (1) The referenced information has been filed in ULS or, if manually 
filed outside of ULS, the information comprises more than one ``8\1/2\ x 
11'' page.
    (2) The referenced information is current and accurate in all 
material respects; and
    (3) The application states specifically where the referenced 
information can actually be found, including:
    (i) The station call sign or application file number and its 
location if the reference is to station files or previously filed 
applications;
    (ii) The title of the proceeding, the docket number, and any legal 
citations, if the reference is to a docketed proceeding.
    (c) Antenna locations. Applications for stations at fixed locations 
must describe each transmitting antenna site by its geographical 
coordinates and also by its street address, or by reference to a nearby 
landmark. Geographical coordinates, referenced to NAD83, must be 
specified in degrees, minutes, and seconds to the nearest second of 
latitude and longitude.
    (d) Antenna structure registration. Owners of certain antenna 
structures must notify the Federal Aviation Administration and register 
with the Commission as required by Part 17 of this chapter. Applications 
proposing the use of one or more new or existing antenna structures must 
contain the FCC Antenna Registration Number(s) of each structure for 
which registration is required. If registration is not required, the 
applicant must provide information in its application sufficient for the 
Commission to verify this fact.
    (e) Environmental concerns. Each applicant is required to indicate 
at the time its application is filed whether or not a Commission grant 
of the application may have a significant environmental effect, as 
defined by Sec. 1.1307 of this chapter. If answered affirmatively, an 
Environmental Assessment, required by Sec. 1.1311 of this chapter, must 
be filed with the application and environmental review by the Commission

must be completed prior to construction.
    (f) International coordination. Channel assignments and/or usage 
under this part are subject to the applicable provisions and 
requirements of treaties and other international agreements between the 
United States government and the governments of Canada and Mexico.
    (g) Quiet zones. Each applicant is required to comply with the 
``Quiet Zone'' rule (see Sec. 1.924).
    (h) Taxpayer Identification Number (TINs). Wireless applicants and 
licensees, including all attributable owners of auctionable licenses as 
defined by Sec. 1.2112 of this part, are required to provide their 
Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINS) (as defined in 26 U.S.C. 6109) to 
the Commission, pursuant to the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 
(DCIA). Under the DCIA, the FCC may use an applicant or licensee's TIN 
for purposes of collecting and reporting to the Department of the 
Treasury any delinquent amounts arising out of such person's 
relationship with the Government. The Commission will not publicly 
disclose applicant or licensee TINs unless authorized by law, but will 
assign a ``public identification number'' to each applicant or licensee 
registering a TIN. This public identification number will be used for 
agency purposes other than debt collection.
    (i) Unless an exception is set forth elsewhere in this chapter, each 
applicant must specify an address where the applicant can receive mail 
delivery by the United States Postal Service. This address will be used 
by the Commission to serve documents or direct correspondence to the 
applicant.
