    Section 101.1523 requires that the licensee or applicant shall:

to the coordination standards and procedures adopted in Report and 
Order, FCC 03-248, and as further detailed in subsequent implementation 
public notices issued consistent with that order;

[[Page 46271]]

    (2) Provide an electronic copy of any interference analysis to the 
third-party database manager which demonstrates that the potential for 
harmful interference to or from all previously registered non-
government links has been analyzed according to the standards of 
section 101.105 and generally accepted good engineering practice, and 
that the proposed non-government link will neither cause harmful 
interference to, nor receive harmful interference from, any previously 
registered non-government link; and
    (3) Provide upon request any information related to the 
interference analysis and the corresponding link. The third-party 
database managers shall receive and retain the interference analyses 
electronically and make them available to the public. Protection of 
individual links against harmful interference from other links shall be 
granted to first-in-time registered links. Successful completion of 
coordination via the NTIA automated mechanism shall constitute 
successful non-Federal Government to Federal Government coordination 
for that individual link.
    The license term is ten years, beginning on the date of the initial 
authorization (nationwide license) grant. Registering links will not 
change the overall renewal period of the license. The recordkeeping, 
reporting, and third party disclosure requirements will be used by the 
Commission to verify licensee compliance with Commission rules and 
regulations, and to ensure that licensees continue to fulfill their 
statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 
1934. Such information has been used in the past and will continue to 
be used to minimize interference, and verify that applicants are 
legally and technically qualified to hold licenses.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
