DSRC FCC & FAA Licenses

• NIMO DSRC FCC/FAA Site Registration Procedure:

The following procedure is required for adding DSRC radios to new and existing ITS poles: 1. Verify whether or not an FAA study is required. This can be done quickly by going to TOWAIR, http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/AsrSearch/towairSearch.jsp and entering the geographical coordinates, site elevation, and structure height. Do not assume that an airport is not in the vicinity of the ITS pole location. Allow 30 days with all processes and resources to complete. 2. If the TOWAIR determination indicates a structure registration is required, then a study request must be submitted to the FAA. This study takes up to 45 days to complete. Also, the FAA may require additional lighting and/or markings on the pole. Allow 90 days with all processes and resources to complete. 3. Upon completion of the FAA study and approval, an FCC Form 854 (application for antenna structure registration) must be submitted; this will take up to 45 days for approval. Allow 90 days with all processes and resources to complete. 4. Follow up with the FCC requirement for local public notification and amend the current structure registration application – allow 30 days.

DSRC FCC & FAA Licenses

• NIMO DSRC FCC/FAA Site Registration Procedure:

Local Public Notice: A. You must provide local notice of your proposed tower through publication in a local newspaper or other appropriate means, such as by following the local zoning public notice process. The local notice must contain the following information: B. The Form 854 File Number; C. The geographical location, the structure height, and anticipated lighting for the proposed new or modified structure; D. A statement that interested persons may review the application by going to www.fcc.gov/asr/applicatons and entering the Form 854 file Number;

DSRC FCC & FAA Licenses

• NIMO DSRC FCC/FAA Site Registration Procedure:

Local Public Notice: E. A statement that interested persons may raise environmental concerns about the proposed structure filing a Request for Environmental Review with the Federal Communications Commission; F. A statement that the Federal Communications Commission strongly encourages interested parties to file Requests for Environmental Review online, and that the instructions for making such filings can be found at www.fcc.gov/asr/environmentalrequest; and G. The mailing address for interested parties that would prefer to file a Request for Environmental Review by paper copy; FCC Requests for Environmental Review, Attn: Ramon Williams, 445 12th Street SW, Washington, DC 20554. H. You may provide local notice under both this process and the Commission’s procedures implementing Section 106

• f the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) through a single publication, provided the notice explains the

different procedures for public participation under each of these processes. I. You will be required to report the local notice date in Part 2 of your Form 854 filing. If local notice is not provided before the requested national notice date, you must amend your Form 854 submission to request a new national notice date.

• NIMO DSRC FCC/FAA Site Registration Procedure:

The following procedure is required for adding DSRC radios to new and existing ITS poles: 5. Upon completion of the amended structure registration, RSU site registration can be completed online with FCC approval within 30 days. In summary, FCC licensing and registration of a communication site may take up to 270 days depending on the location and FCC/FAA requirements.

Minnesota DOT DSRC FCC & FAA License

• Filed initial application for main Statewide DSRC license with FCC on June 3rd,

2016.

• Able to file DSRC License from FCC online by using our State of MN account.
• FCC granted main general Statewide DSRC license in January, 2017.
• Filed the application to register the (5) DSRC locations on January 20th, 2017.
• Fully granted license including the specific DSRC sites on March 1st, 2017.
• Full process took 9 months.
• Info that was needed for each DSRC site:
• Site lat/long (decimal degrees, minutes, seconds)
• Site elevation (feet or meters)

Michigan DOT Experience - FCC license for DSRC

• DSRC radio registration requirements are found in 47 C.F.R,

Parts 90 and 95. A geographic area license must be obtained before submitting individual locations

• Information regarding antenna (not transmitter)

manufacturer is required to complete registration

• The application process is straightforward and everything is

submitted online

• An FCC Registration Number from FCC is required to start the

application; most states already have one, even if they haven’t used it for ITS before

• Licenses takes at least a month from submission to approval.

The biggest lag seems to be between submission and when the review starts, review to approval only takes a few days

• FCC phone support line is responsive and helpful
