WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU PROVIDES

ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE ON HOW TO FILE IN UNIVERSAL LICENSING SYSTEM

*Late Filing of Renewal Applications*

To file a renewal request electronically for a single call sign after
the license expiration date, go to the ULS homepage at
<http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls>, select Online Filing and login. The
License At A Glance Page will appear upon login for filers who hold only
one license. If you hold multiple licenses, display this page by
clicking on the call sign you want to renew. Select Renew from the Work
on This License Menu. The instructions will indicate when to upload a
waiver request attachment. (Late-filed renewal applications must be
submitted with the appropriate waiver request and, if applicable, waiver
fee.) Continue to follow the onscreen prompts and instructions until
your renewal request is completed. The information provided here updates
a previous Public Notice regarding late filing of renewal
applications.[^1]

*Attachments Should Be Standard Letter-Size*

Filers should submit only standard letter-size attachments when filing
online. Documents of any other size will be converted to letter-size,
which may result in the loss of information.

*Enhanced Update and Renew*

License Manager simplifies updates of license-related information. The
Update and Renew functions allow you to update licensee name and
address, contact information, and control points, all in one application
filing. Prior to License Manager, multiple applications were required to
renew a license and update this information. License Manager also
provides the ability for you to update your administrative data, such as
licensee name and address, when you file most applications.

In addition, when a license is within the 90 day renewal window, a
message to renew the license appears on the License At A Glance Page. To
renew a single license, select the link that says "Begin the renewal
process," or select "Renew" from the Work on This License Menu. To renew
multiple licenses, select Renew Licenses from the left-hand menu. All
call signs eligible for renewal will appear under Select Licenses. When
renewal is completed, look for an application purpose of "RO" or "RM" on
the confirmation screen to verify license renewal.

*Automatic Saving of Applications*

If you begin an application, but do not submit the application and
receive a confirmation, ULS automatically saves the application for you.
To access all applications, including those that were automatically
saved, click My Applications in the left-hand navigation menu. Then
click Saved to access all saved (and not yet submitted) applications.

*Filing Required Notifications*

To file a notification in ULS, click on the link \"Notify the FCC," in
the Work on This License menu on the License At A Glance page. Use this
link when notifying the FCC that (1) a transfer of control or an
assignment of authorization has been consummated or (2) a construction
or coverage requirement has been met. Each required notification must be
filed in accordance with the appropriate rules. See 47 C.F.R. 1.948(d)
regarding the notification requirement for a transfer of control or an
assignment of authorization and 1.946(d) for the notification of a
construction or coverage requirement.

*Guidance Regarding the Need to Hold an FCC License*

For applicants in the Aircraft or Ship services who file a license
renewal or request a duplicate of an active license, ULS prompts them
with guidance regarding the need to continue to hold an FCC license.
This enhancement allows affected applicants to avoid filing unnecessary
applications.
