Abstract:
Part 101 rules require respondents to report or disclose information to the Commission or third parties, respectively, and to maintain records. These requirements are necessary for the Commission staff to carry out its duties to determine technical, legal and other qualifications of applicants to operate and remain licensed to operate a station(s) in the common carrier and/or private fixed microwave services. In addition, the information is used to determine whether the public interest, convenience, and necessity are being served as required by 47 U.S.C. Section 309 and to ensure that applicants and licensees comply with ownership and transfer restrictions imposed by 47 U.S.C. Section 310.
