FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: CELLUR_JUL08.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
OBJECTID	Internal feature number.
LICENSEE	Represents the legal entity that is issued a license and may not represent the name for which service is marketed/provided.
CALLSIGN	A combination of letters and numbers that identify an FCC license.
LOCNUM	The number associated to the location by the Universal Licensing System (ULS). This number must be used to reference the location on all applications submitted via ULS.
LAT_DMS	Latitude associated with this location in degrees, minutes (e.g., 13'), and seconds (e.g., 10") and are referenced in NAD83 (North American Datum 1983).
LATDIR	Latitude cardinal direction associated with this location.
LON_DMS	Longitude associated with this location in degrees, minutes (e.g., 13'), and seconds (e.g., 10") and are referenced in NAD83 (North American Datum 1983).
LONDIR	Longitudinal cardinal direction associated with this location.
LOCADD	Physical address of the cellular structure.
LOCCITY	City in which the cellular structure is located.
LOCCOUNTY	County in which the cellular structure is located.
LOCSTATE	State in which the cellular structure is located.
NEPA	Compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act. Y = If an FCC grant of an antenna structure application will have a significant environmental effect. Section 1.1307 of the FCC rules lists categories of environmental effects for which applicants must file an environmental assessment. N = If an FCC grant of an antenna structure application will NOT have a significant environmental effect. Section 1.1307 of the FCC rules lists categories of environmental effects for which applicants must file an environmental assessment.
TOWREG	Tower registration number.
SUPSTRUC	The height above ground level to the highest point of the supporting structure only in meters.
ALLSTRUC	The overall height above ground level of the entire antenna structure to the highest point, including any appurtenances, in meters. (Includes antennas, dishes, obstruction lighting, etc.)
STRUCTYPE	The code for the type of structure on which the antenna is or will be mounted. B = Building BANT = Building with Antenna on Top BPOLE = Building with Pole MAST = Mast NNTANN = Antenna Tower Array POLE = Any type of Pole SILO = Any type of Silo TANK = Any type of Tank (water, gas, etc.) TOWER = Free standing guyed structure used for communication purposes. TREE = Tree, when used as a support for an antenna
DD_TEMP	Geographic location latitude in decimal degrees.
DD_TEMP0	Geographic location longitude, in decimal degrees.
LIC_ID	A masked Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). In the Universal Licensing System (ULS) an entity's TIN is not provided to the public. However, the public will see a Licensee ID number (masked TIN) that they can use for application and license searches.
DESCRIPT	Description field based on CALLSIGN
FGDLAQDATE	GeoPlan Acquisition Date
SHAPE	Feature geometry.
AUTOID	Unique ID added by GeoPlan

USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

As you use the cellular structure location data, be aware that the database may reflect uncorrected facility reporting errors.

This dataset represents FCC registered cellular antenna structures. This mobile cellular service list mobile radiotelephone service in which common carriers are authorized to offer and provide a mobile telecommunications service for hire to the general public using cellular systems.

This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials. A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

Data originally released by the Federal Communications Commission in July 2008.The original data was limited to the entire United States. Data was downloaded from the Federal Communications Commission website (http://wireless.fcc.gov/geographic/fcc_db.html) in shapefile format in December 2008. When received the shapefile was in the projection NAD 83. GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: - The original dataset name was cellular - The dataset was projected data to FGDL Albers. - Selected where "LOCSTATE" = 'FL' to select only points in Florida - Removed 2 records located far west and northwest of FL - Deleted the QZONE and LOCNAME fields. - Added DESCRIPT item based on CALLSIGN. - Added the FGDLAQDATE field. - All fields were upcased. Process Date: 20081203 Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile. Process Date: 20081209
