An STA is the authority granted to a permittee or licensee to allow the operation of a communications facility for a limited period. Bureaus and Offices may issue STAs for emergency situations, such as natural disasters, restoration of communications, or other short term operations whereby the applicant has made a showing that, due to extraordinary circumstances, it cannot wait for the normal licensing process to conclude.
