Maintenance  and  Monitoring;  see  Exhibit  B  -­‐  Project  Description  and  Justification.     Application  Review   Under  federal  law,  the  City  of  Newport  Beach  (“City”)  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  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  must,  within  ten  days,  identify  in  writing  the  missing  information  that  is  required  by  local  codes  or  other  published   PA2019-108 AT&T  Small  Cell  Application   City  of  Newport  Beach   Page  2  of  3   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  the  City  fails  to  act  before  the  shot  clock  expires,  the  City  will  be  in  violation  of   state  and  federal  laws.     • This  Application  was  filed  on  June  10,  2019.   • Notification  of  incompleteness  is  due  by  June  20,  2019.   • Absent  tolling,  the  City  must  take  final  action  by  September  9,  2019.       The  City  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  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  does  not   incommode  the  public  way.       Payment  of  an  application  deposit  totaling  $2,631.00  is  enclosed  with  this  letter.     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.     Questions  or  notices  related  to  this  Application  may  be  directed  to:      Franklin

FPA2019-108 FCC/LSGAC Local Official’s Guide to RF Optional Checklist for Local Government To Determine Whether a Facility is Categorically Excluded Purpose: The FCC has determined that many wireless facilities are unlikely to cause human exposures in excess of RF exposure guidelines. Operators of those facilities are exempt from routinely having to determine their compliance. These facilities are termed "categorically excluded." Section 1.1307(b)(1) of the Commission's rules defines those categorically excluded facilities. This checklist will assist state and local government agencies in identifying those wireless facilities that are categorically excluded, and thus are highly unlikely to cause exposure in excess of the FCC’s guidelines. Provision of the information identified on this checklist may also assist FCC staff in evaluating any inquiry regarding a facility’s compliance with the RF exposure guidelines.

Longitude: continue PA2019-108 FCC/LSGAC Local Official’s Guide to RF Optional Local Government Checklist (page 2) EVALUATION OF CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION 12. Licensed Radio Service (see attached Table 1): 13. Structure Type (free-standing or building/roof-mounted): 14. Antenna Type [omnidirectional or directional (includes sectored)]: 15. Height above ground of the lowest point of the antenna (in meters): 16. Check if all of the following are true: (a) This facility will be operated in the Multipoint Distribution Service, Paging and Radiotelephone Service, Cellular Radiotelephone Service, Narrowband or Broadband Personal Communications Service, Private Land Mobile Radio Services Paging Operations, Private Land Mobile Radio Service Specialized Mobile Radio, Local Multipoint Distribution Service, or service regulated under Part 74, Subpart I (see question 12). (b) This facility will not be mounted on a building (see question 13). (c) The lowest point of the antenna will be at least 10 meters above the ground (see question 15). If box 16 is checked, this facility is categorically excluded and is unlikely to cause exposure in excess of the FCC’s guidelines. The remainder of the checklist need not be completed. If box 16 is not checked, continue to question 17. 17. Enter the power threshold for categorical exclusion for this service from the attached Table 1 in watts ERP or EIRP∗ (note: EIRP = (1.64) X ERP): 18. Enter the total number of channels if this will be an omnidirectional antenna, or the maximum number of channels in any sector if this will be a sectored antenna: 19. Enter the ERP or EIRP per channel (using the same units as in question 17): 20. Multiply answer 18 by answer 19: 21. Is the answer to question 20 less than or equal to the value from question 17 (yes or no)? If the answer to question 21 is YES, this facility is categorically excluded. It is unlikely to cause exposure in excess of the FCC’s guidelines. If the answer to question 21 is NO, this facility is not categorically excluded. Further investigation may be appropriate to verify whether the facility may cause exposure in excess of the FCC’s guidelines. ∗"ERP" means "effective radiated power" and "EIRP" means "effective isotropic radiated power PA2019-108 FCC/LSGAC Local Official’s Guide to RF TABLE 1 (cont.)
