Map the licence papers against the federal carrier and calling duties that were opened
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the licence or authority papers in the file, list the service they authorise, the territory they state, and any condition they impose on calls or charges. Set each condition beside § 201 or § 227 only where the words match a duty those sections state. Do not invent a numbering condition.
- What the lawyer must review
- 47 U.S.C. § 201’s just-and-reasonable standard applies to charges, practices, classifications, and regulations of a common carrier engaged in interstate or foreign communication by wire or radio. 47 U.S.C. § 227(b) is the calling restriction described in the statute, including the prior-express-consent and emergency exceptions and the destinations subsection (b)(1)(A) lists. The papers control what this client is authorised to do. If they do not describe a common-carrier service, § 201 is not mapped onto them. Formal Opinion 512: the lawyer checks the map before it is used. Commission numbering rules and state mini-statutes were not opened.
