Submit a Coordination Request

Manage Coordination Requests / Submit a Coordination Request

Submitting a coordination request involves uploading technical parameters and optionally uploading supporting information for proposed use of the band. When you submit a coordination request, the RFCP verifies the request data. Upon successful verification, the RFCP sends you an acknowledgment of receipt.

Impacted incumbents receive a request-for-coordination email from the RFCP. At this point, impacted incumbents have 10 days to review the request for completeness and accuracy. See Coordination Request Timelines for more information.
