Sec. 1.767  Cable landing licenses.

    (a) Applications for cable landing licenses under 47 U.S.C. 34-39 
and Executive Order No. 10530, dated May 10, 1954, should be filed in 
duplicate and in accordance with the provisions of that Executive Order. 
These applications should contain:
    (1) The name, address and telephone number(s) of the applicant;
    (2) The Government, State, or Territory under the laws of which each 
corporate or partnership applicant is organized;
    (3) The name, title, post office address, and telephone number of 
the officer and any other contact point, such as legal counsel, to whom 
correspondence concerning the application is to be addressed;
    (4) A description of the submarine cable, including the type and 
number of channels and the capacity thereof;
    (5) A specific description of the cable landing location on the 
shore of the United States and in foreign countries where the cable will 
land (including a map). Applicants initially may file a general 
geographic description of the landing points; however, grant of the 
application will be conditioned on the Commission's final approval of a 
more specific description of the landing points to be filed by the 
applicant no later than 90 days prior to construction. The Commission 
will give public notice of the filing of this description, and grant of 
the license will be considered final if the Commission does not notify 
the applicant otherwise in writing no later than 60 days after receipt 
of the specific description of the landing points.
    (6) A statement as to whether the cable will be operated on a common 
carrier or non-common carrier basis, and if operation will be on a non-
common carrier basis, include the ownership information required in 
Sec. 63.18 (e)(6) and (h) (1) through (2) of this chapter; and
    (7) Any other information that may be necessary to enable the 
Commission to act on their application.
    (b) These applications are acted upon by the Commission after 
obtaining the approval of the Secretary of State and such assistance 
from any executive department or establishment of the Government as it 
may require.
    (c) Original files relating to submarine cable landing licenses and 
applications for licenses since June 30, 1934, are kept by the 
Commission. Such applications for licenses (including all documents and 
exhibits filed with and made a part thereof, with the exception of any 
maps showing the exact location of the submarine cable or cables to be 
licensed) and the licenses issued pursuant thereto, with the exception 
of such maps, shall, unless otherwise ordered by the Commission, be open 
to public inspection in the offices of the Commission in Washington, 
D.C.
    (d) Original files relating to licenses and applications for 
licenses for the landing operation of cables prior to June 30, 1934, 
were kept by the Department of State, and such files prior to 1930 have 
been transferred to the Executive and Foreign Affairs Branch of the 
General Records Office of the National Archives. Requests for inspection 
of these files should, however, be addressed to the Federal 
Communications Commission, Washington, D.C., 20554; and the Commission 
will obtain such files for a temporary period in order to permit 
inspection at the offices of the Commission.
    (e) A separate application shall be filed with respect to each 
individual cable system for which a license is requested, or for which 
modification or amendment of a previous license is requested.
    (f) Applicants shall disclose to any interested member of the 
public, upon written request, accurate information concerning the 
location and timing for the construction of a submarine cable system 
authorized under this section. This disclosure shall be made within 30 
days of receipt of the request.
