Licensing

After you complete the frequency coordination process, you must submit an application for operation to the FCC. All satellite earth station systems are required to complete and submit FCC Form 312 to the FCC. This form must be accompanied by a supplemental showing indicating that the frequency coordination process has been completed. Once the application is filed, the FCC puts it on Public Notice for 30 days for the public to comment. If there is no objection and the application meets all FCC filing requirements, the FCC grants the application.

Comsearch offers FCC Form 312 Filing Services. You may also download FCC Form 312.

Other Licensing Considerations

The licensee is responsible for maintaining license records with the FCC after the license is granted. You must notify the FCC of any address or other administrative changes to your system. You must track when a license is due for renewal and submit a timely renewal application. The current renewal period is fifteen years.
