Clearinghouse users enter basic information including company name and mailing address, the primary contact with phone, fax and e-mail address and any sub-account users for the registration. - Submit Base-Station Information (PCN)
The FCC requires that Prior Coordination Notifications (PCN) be submitted to the Clearinghouse for cost-sharing analysis. The process for submitting the base-station information will be an upload of an Excel or similar file structure via the website. The resulting action is the identification of cost-sharing triggers on relocated incumbent systems. - Receive Notification from Clearinghouse Detailing Cost-Sharing Obligation(s) Owed to Relocator(s)
Proximity threshold test performed by the Clearinghouse will identify each cost-sharing trigger and generate a notification to all affected parties. - Remit Cost-Sharing Obligations
Cost-sharing obligation(s) are to be paid directly to the relocator and/or other benefiting licensees party to the relocation. - Information Remains in Clearinghouse Database and could Identify Cost-Sharing Triggers from Subsequent Benefiting Licensees
Subsequent licensees who benefit from the initial relocation are required to share in the expenses of a relocation. By registering information with the Clearinghouse, users of our services can ensure that all who benefit from a relocation pay their equitable portion of the costs.
