**********NOTICE OF ELIGIBLE FACILITIES REQUEST********** 
 
RE: Request for Minor Modification to Existing Wireless Facility – Section 6409 
 
Site Address: 10341 NORTH EL MIRAGE ROAD, EL MIRAGE, AZ 85335 
Crown Site Number: 855690 / Crown Site Name: EL MIRAGE & PEORIA 
Customer Site Number: PXPHX00562A / Application Number: 561328 
 
Dear Jose A. Macias: 
 
On behalf of DISH Wireless L.L.C. (”Dish Wireless” or “Applicant”), Crown Castle USA Inc. (“Crown Castle”) is pleased to 
submit this request to modify the existing wireless facility noted above through the collocation, replacement and/or removal 
of the Applicant’s equipment as an eligible facilities request for a minor modification under Section 64091 and the rules of 
the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”).2  
 
Section 6409 mandates that state and local governments must approve any eligible facilities request for the modification of 
an existing wireless tower or base station that does not substantially change the physical dimensions of such tower or base 
station. Under Section 6409, to toll the review period, if the reviewing authority determines that the application is 
incomplete, it must provide written notice to the applicant within 30 days, which clearly and specifically delineates all 
missing documents or information reasonably related to whether the request meets the federal requirements.3  Additionally, 
if a state or local government, fails to issue any approvals required for this request within 60 days, these approvals are 
deemed granted. The FCC has clarified that the 30-day and 60-day deadlines begins when an applicant: (1) takes the first 
step required under state or local law; and (2) submits information sufficient to inform the jurisdiction that this modification 
qualifies under the federal law4.  Please note that with the submission of this letter and enclosed items, the thirty and sixty-
day review periods have started. Based on this filing, the deadline for written notice of incomplete application is February 
3, 2022, and the deadline for issuance of approval is March 5, 2022. 
 
The proposed scope of work for this project includes: 
 
1 Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, Pub. L. No. 112-96, § 6409 (2012) (codified at 47 U.S.C. § 1455). 
2 Acceleration of Broadband Deployment by Improving Wireless Facility Siting Policies, 29 FCC Rcd. 12865 (2014) (codified at 47 
CFR § 1.6100); and Implementation of State & Local Governments’ Obligation to Approve Certain Wireless Facility Modification 
Requests Under Section 6409(a) of the Spectrum Act of 2012, WT Docket No. 19-250 (June 10, 2020). 
3 See 47 CFR § 1.6100 (c)(3).  4 See 2020 Upgrade Order at paragraph 16.

Collocation of antennas, ancillary equipment and ground equipment as per plans for a new carrier on an existing wireless 
communication facility. 
 
At the end of this letter is a checklist of the applicable substantial change criteria under Section 6409. Additionally, please 
find enclosed the following information in support of this request: 
 
(1) Zoning Application; 
(2) Dish Wireless Cover Letter; 
(3) Construction Drawings;  
(4) Structural Analysis; and 
(5) Section 6409 Substantial Change Checklist. 
 
 As these documents indicate, (i) the modification involves the collocation, removal or replacement of transmission 
equipment; and (ii) such modification will not substantially change the physical dimensions of such tower or base station. 
As such, it is an “eligible facilities request” as defined in the FCC’s rules to which the 60-day deadline for approval applies. 
Accordingly, Applicant requests all authorization necessary for this proposed minor modification under Section 6409. 
 
Our goal is to work with you to obtain approvals earlier than the deadline. We will respond promptly to any request for 
related information you may have in connection with this request. Please let us know how we can work with you to expedite 
the approval process. We look forward to working with you on this important project, which will improve wireless 
telecommunication services in your community using collocation on existing infrastructure.  If you have any questions, 
please do not hesitate to contact me.
