This report shall be due 40 days after the close of each calendar quarter and shall contain the following information: Each frequency assigned to the station or stations and the number of hours it was used during the quarter to each point of communication for each class of service rendered (such as telegraph, telephone, program, or radiophoto), the types of emission normally used to each point of communication, and the total hours each frequency was used.

(b) Received frequency report. Upon specific request by the Commission, licensees in the international fixed public radiocommunication services shall furnish promptly the following information regarding frequencies received from all points of communication: All frequencies received, including call signs, location of transmitting station, type and bandwidth of emission normally employed, point of reception, and a symbol from the following table indicating the amount of usage of the particular received frequency.
