Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Applicant has just purchased new RF equipment for use during the the 2026 NFL season beginning in August. There is concern of insufficient time for the regular license application coordination and filing to be potentially granted in time for the season start, thus an STA is requested for interim authority to operate. Coordination with local SBE >1GHz coordinator in progress.
