Failure to submit this notice of construction by the deadline could result in the automatic termination of your license by the FCC, as they will assume the frequencies are not being utilized. On June 5, 2001 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established the Required Notification of Construction. When it issues a license for new frequencies, they normally allow one year from date of grant for the licensee to construct and place the new frequencies into operation. You may find more information regarding the construction requirements for each type of radio service on the FCC’s website, or contact EWA for more information, 1-800-482-8282.

There is no fee to submit the construction notification through the FCC Universal Licensing System (ULS), using your FRN and password. EWA assists many of its members each year with this filing obligation: simply submit the Construction Notification Request Form to EWA, and refer to our Schedule of Services for applicable fees.  The construction notice must be filed after the system has been constructed, and not before.  Beware of companies who offer to assist with this obligation shortly after a license is issued: it is not in compliance with FCC rules to file a construction notice until the system has actually been constructed. 

There are two areas of possible cost for an FCC Filing in Cevo: ordinary frequency coordination fees, and the level of service you require from EWA. Where allowed by the FCC, certain services are discounted for EWA members, and a fee schedule is available online. Frequency Coordination, including FCC filing fees may be found in our fee schedule. The Service Selection, which you'll see prior to initiating a filing, and also on the last Step of your filing, is decided by you, and the choices are: 

1. Cevo Express: you have provided some information about your requires, but you would like EWA to fully complete your application and verify all data is accurate prior to our frequency coordination and transmittal of the application to the FCC. A short cut to Cevo Express is to tap the "Hand Over to EWA" button on any page of your application. See the online fee schedule. 
2. Cevo Solo: you have completed the application in its entirety and attest to its accuracy. EWA will provide frequency coordination prior to transmittal of the application to the FCC. There is no charge to go Solo, but ordinary frequency coordination and FCC fees do apply. 
3. Cevo Pro: as with Cevo Solo, you have completed your application accurately, but would additionally like to directly participate in the coordination process. From your Cevo dashboard, you'll select the "Coordinate" button, and have access to many of the same analysis capabilities as EWA Spectrum Analysts, e.g., analyzing incumbents, running different scenaries, and ultimately selecting the best available frequency(s). A tip: select the frequency, with the least cumulative overlap! EWA will expertly certify your application and transmit it to the FCC. See the online fee schedule.
