Section 307 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, limits the term of radio licenses to 5 years and requires that written applications be submitted for renewal. The regular license period for stations in the Experimental Radio Service is either 2 or 5 years. The information submitted on FCC Form 405 is used by the Commission staff to evaluate the applicant/licensee’s need for a license renewal. In performing this function, staff performs analysis of the renewal request as compared to the original license grant to ascertain if any changes are requested. If so, additional analysis is performed to determine if such changes met the requirements of the rules of the Experimental Radio Service for interference free operation. If needed, the collected information is used to coordinate such operation with other Commission bureaus or other Federal Agencies. All applications are also analyzed on their merits regarding whether they meet the general requirements for an Experimental license. These requirements are set out in 47 CFR part 5.
