FAQ: Construction Deadlines
Where can I find my construction deadline? This information is printed on your FCC authorization and it can be located using License Search in the Universal Licensing System (ULS). How do I use License Search in ULS to find my required construction deadline? Construction deadlines are located in different places within ULS depending on whether the license was issued to a market, a location, or a frequency. Licenses awarded through the auction process are licensed to a market. The construction deadlines are located at the license level, in the License Information Screen, in fields labeled "1st Build Out Deadline", "2nd Build Out Deadline", etc. Licenses in the Cellular Radio Service are licensed to a location. The construction deadline is displayed at the location level. To access the location level -- from the License Information Screen, use the "License Options" drop down list and select location(s). From the left-hand column, select the location (coordinates) where you want to know the construction deadline. The deadline is located in the field labeled "Build Out Deadline". All other licenses, such as paging, public-safety, microwave, business/industrial pool, are licensed to a frequency. The construction deadline is displayed at the frequency level. To access the frequency level -- from the License Information Screen, use the "License Options" drop down list and select location(s). From the left-hand column, select the appropriate location (coordinates). At the bottom of this screen, use the Antennas Button. From the left-hand column, select the antenna number where the frequency in question is located. Use the Frequencies Button to display all frequencies. And again from the left-hand column, select the frequency that you want to know the construction deadline. The deadline is located in the field labeled "Build Out Deadline". Note: 47 C.F.R. §1.946 requires the notification of construction, FCC Form 601 and Schedule K, to be filed no later than 15 days after the applicable construction deadline. A request for an extension of time, FCC Form 601 and Schedule L, must be filed prior to the applicable construction deadline and does not automatically extend the applicable construction deadline. How do I determine whether a licensee has met its construction requirement? You need to know whether the license was issued to a market, location or frequency. Then, go to the appropriate level within the license record. See above question.
If a licensee didn't construct a station or its license and consequently didn't file a notification of construction, when does the license terminate?" If a licensee fails to construct a station or fails to meet a construction requirement for an entire license, the station or license terminates automatically as of the applicable construction deadline. The Bureau will, at a later date, update its licensing records as necessary. How often are the licensing records updated to reflect the terminated licenses? The Bureau is in the process of implementing a standard procedure to address this issue. When it is implemented, the Bureau will make public the details of this process. Additional information about construction requirements can be found in 47 C.F.R §1.946 and under the specific rules sections governing the individual radio services. | |||||||
