all necessary authorizations to construct small cell wireless facility at the above referenced location. If any
additional applications or information are needed for any phase of this project, please let me know. Small cells are
low-power, low-profile wireless communications facilities that improve signal quality and capacity within AT&T’s
existing wireless network. The proposed small cell facility will help AT&T provide and improve critical wireless
services in this area.

Application Review
Under federal law, the City of Newport Beach must determine whether the application is complete within 10 days
and take final action on the application within 90 days from this submittal (the “shot clock”). See 47 C.F.R. §
1.6003. Within the same period of time, the City of Newport Beach must also take action with respect to all
necessary authorizations and approvals for construction and operation of the proposed small cell. The shot clock
begins today and runs unless or until it is tolled, either by mutual agreement or based on a timely and proper
notice that the application is materially incomplete. To toll the shot clock for incompleteness, the City of Newport
Beach must, within ten days, identify in writing the missing information that is required by local codes or other
published application guidelines. In the case of a timely and proper incomplete notice, the shot clock stops and
restarts at day 0 once AT&T submits the additional information required. If City of Newport Beach fails to act
before the shot clock expires, the City of Newport Beach will be in violation of state and federal laws.
This Application was filed on November 23, 2021.
Notification of incompleteness is due by December 3, 2021.
Absent tolling, the City of Newport Beach must take final action by February 21, 2022.
The City of Newport Beach must grant all necessary authorizations as the proposed facility is consistent with
applicable law and there is no basis for denial under the local code.
Applicable Law
Approval is required under the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, 47 U.S.C. §§ 253, 332 (“Act”). The Act,
which was enacted to prioritize and streamline deployment of wireless technologies, limits the ability of state and
local governments to regulate wireless service. The Act establishes substantive and procedural limitations on the
review of wireless facility siting applications. A state or local government cannot take action that would
unreasonably discriminate against AT&T in acting on the application. A state or local government cannot take any
action that would prohibit or effectively prohibit the provision of wireless services. An effective prohibition occurs
when the jurisdiction’s denial of an application materially limits or inhibits AT&T’s ability to provide or improve
wireless services. A state or local government may not consider the effects of radio frequency emissions when
considering this application.
The City of Newport Beach must review this application within a reasonable period of time, as defined pursuant to
the shot clock. Any decision to deny the application must be in writing contemporaneously with the decision and
supported by substantial evidence contained in a written record. The written denial must provide the basis
therefor with a recitation of findings of fact and conclusions of law supporting the denial.
Pursuant to the California Constitution and Section 7901 of the California Public Utilities Code, AT&T has a
statewide franchise right to construct telecommunications facilities and place poles within the public rights-of-way
so long as it does not incommode the public way. AT&T’s right is subject only to the municipality’s authority to
impose reasonable and equivalent time, place and manner restrictions pursuant to Section 7901.1 of the California
Public Utilities Code. AT&T’s proposed small cell facility/ies do not incommode the public way.
Payment of application fees totaling $3,800.00 is enclosed with this letter.
[OPTION 1 (Flat Fee): The FCC set a standard for fees such that only objectively reasonable cost-based fees may be
imposed on a nondiscriminatory basis. The FCC established a safe harbor for presumptively reasonable fees: $500
for non-recurring fees for an application including up to five small cells, plus $100 for each small cell beyond five,
or $1,000 for non-recurring fees for a new pole to support small cells. In addition, California Government Code
50030 limits permit fees for telecommunications installations to the reasonable cost-based fees. The city’s
application fee greatly exceeds the FCC’s standard and is inconsistent with the state-law standard. AT&T considers
the fee for this application to be excessive and potentially unlawful under federal and state laws. In the interest of
expediency, AT&T is submitting its application and the excessive fee in order to avoid disruption to its business, but

it does so under protest and explicitly reserves its rights to pursue any and all legal remedies for the excessive
nature of the fee.]
[OPTION 2 (Replenishing Deposit): The FCC set a standard for fees such that only objectively reasonable cost-
based fees may be imposed on a nondiscriminatory basis. The FCC established a safe harbor for presumptively
reasonable fees: $500 for non-recurring fees for an application including up to five small cells, plus $100 for each
small cell beyond five, or $1,000 for non-recurring fees for a new pole to support small cells. In addition, California
Government Code 50030 limits permit fees for telecommunications installations to the reasonable cost-based fees.
The city requires a deposit for application fees, which is subject to requests for replenishment as the application is
reviewed and processed. AT&T is concerned that the city’s fees may be excessive and may violate the FCC’s
standard and the state-law standard for lawful fees. AT&T is submitting its application and its initial deposit for
application fees in order to avoid disruption to its business, but it does so under protest and explicitly reserves its
rights to pursue any and all legal remedies for excessive fees.]
[OPTION 3 (Deposit from Invoice): The FCC set a standard for fees such that only objectively reasonable cost-
based fees may be imposed on a nondiscriminatory basis. The FCC established a safe harbor for presumptively
reasonable fees: $500 for non-recurring fees for an application including up to five small cells, plus $100 for each
small cell beyond five, or $1,000 for non-recurring fees for a new pole to support small cells. In addition, California
Government Code 50030 limits permit fees for telecommunications installations to the reasonable cost-based fees.
The city requires a deposit for application fees, which is subject to a future invoice after the application is reviewed
and processed. AT&T is concerned that the city’s fees may be excessive and may violate the FCC’s standard and the
state-law standard for lawful fees. AT&T is submitting its application and its initial deposit for application fees in
order to avoid disruption to its business, but it does so under protest and explicitly reserves its rights to pursue any
and all legal remedies for excessive fees.]
