(Parts 101 and 74)
Form FCC 601, Schedule I, is a supplementary schedule for use with the FCC Application for Radio Service Authorization: Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and/or Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, FCC 601 Main Form. This schedule is used to apply for an authorization to operate a radio station in the Fixed Microwave and Microwave Broadcast Auxiliary Services, as defined in 47 CFR, Parts 101 and 74. It is also used to amend a pending application or modify an existing license in these services. Additionally, this schedule is used by auction winners that must file site‑specific technical data for international coordination, for an environmental assessment of a particular site or for operation that would affect a radio quiet zone. The FCC 601 Main Form must be filed in conjunction with this schedule.
All site and technical information, whether pertaining to a fixed location or an area location, is filed on Schedule I. Do not file FCC 601, Schedule D - Schedule for Station Locations and Antenna Structures in conjunction with Schedule I.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING LOCATIONS, PATHS, or PASSIVE REPEATER NUMBERS: To identify existing locations, paths, or passive repeater numbers, you must use the location, path, or passive repeater numbers assigned by the Universal Licensing System (ULS). These numbers may not be identical to the numbers on your current authorization if that authorization was not issued by the Universal Licensing System. If you are unsure of the location, path, or passive repeater number that corresponds to a particular location, path, or passive repeater, you can query the ULS for the most up-to-date information regarding your authorization. To query the ULS license database for your call sign, point your web browser to http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls and click on Search - Licenses. Alternatively, you may call (877) 480‑3201 (TTY 717-338-2824) for assistance.
Note: The transmit location will always be assigned Location Number 1.
IMPORTANT ANTENNA STRUCTURE REGISTRATION INFORMATION: The Commission will evaluate your application for a fixed location based on the FCC Antenna Structure Registration Number or FCC 854 File Number you provide (if required). If you mistype your FCC Antenna Structure Registration Number or FCC 854 File Number, or provide location data (latitude, longitude, elevation, structure heights) that is inconsistent with the data found in the Commission’s Antenna Structure Registration database, your application will be dismissed.
Inconsistent data is defined as follows:
1. Latitude and Longitude data provided on Schedule I, Supplement 1, differs from the data in the Antenna Structure Registration database by more than 1 second; or
2. The height or elevation reported on Schedule I is more than 0.5 meters (1.5 feet) greater than the data in the Antenna Structure Registration Database; or elevation is more than 3 meters (9.8 feet) less than the elevation listed in the Antenna Structure Registration Database.

This Supplement must be completed only when a transmission path is to be added, modified, or deleted. For purposes of filing this application, a ‘path’ is defined as the transmitting antennas (along with their height, orientation, and polarization); the final receiver (if present) and any associated passive repeaters. File as many copies of Supplement 4 (Frequency Data) as necessary to describe all transmitters and frequencies associated with each transmission path. Transmission paths are linked on Supplement 2 and Supplement 4 by Item 2, path number, located respectively on each supplement (see Important Information Regarding Location and Path Numbers on page 1 of Schedule I instructions).
A Supplement 2 must be completed for each transmission path added, modified, or deleted. If you are adding a new transmission path, complete a Supplement 2 for each transmission path to be added, and a Supplement 4 (Frequency Data) for all transmitters and frequencies on the new path. If you are modifying a transmission path, in addition to Items 1 through 3, complete only the items that have changed for each transmission path. If you are deleting a transmission path, only Items 1 through 3 are required. Transmission paths that are currently licensed under this call sign by the FCC will continue to be shown on the Authorization as is, unless a specific action is requested in this Supplement.
Note: If a path is deleted, the transmitter and frequency data that is linked to the path will automatically be deleted and will no longer be part of your authorization.
Refer to Table 2 on pages 17 & 18 of Schedule I instructions for assistance in filling out Supplements 2 and 4. Table 2 indicates the fields and their values that are applicable for various path types. For Permanent Fixed Point-to-Point paths, enter the actual value used for each item on Supplement 2, or leave blank if not applicable.
