Wireless Telecommunications Installation
Master antenna forms
As required by the MOBILE NOW Act, GSA created Master Antenna Forms for use by the landholding executives agencies when leasing federal rooftop space and land to private sector wireless telecommunication carrier antenna installations for the purpose of expanding the carriers network. The forms are based upon the same forms GSA uses to outlease space in and on its assets to private sector wireless carriers for the furtherance of its business.

Fees associated with easements and right-of-ways
Pursuant to the MOBILE NOW Act, applicants for the grant of a right-of-way or easement shall be charged a fee based upon direct cost recovery.
Cost recovery refers to all direct costs incurred by the federal government, such as:
- Administrative costs, materials, labor and expenses directly related to application processing, approval, and termination
- All direct costs incurred by the federal government relating to the creation of a right-of-way or easement
Cost recovery fees are not land use fees. Applicants will also be charged an annual fee reimbursing the federal government for monitoring for compliance with grant terms and conditions based upon direct cost recovery. Cost recovery fees will be re-evaluated every five years to ensure the fees collected reimburse the federal government for all direct costs incurred in granting the easement or right-of-way and the monitoring of said grants for compliance with grant terms and conditions.
