**Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Announces Three-Phased Deployment
of the Universal Licensing System for the Land Mobile Radio Services**

This fall the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau will implement a
three-phased deployment of the Universal Licensing System (ULS) for the
Land Mobile Radio Services. The attached chart identifies a projected
deployment schedule with Phase I deployment in September, Phase II in
October, and Phase III in November of this year.

The ULS provides the capability of electronic filing for all licensing
needs, including: new applications, amendments to pending applications,
renewals, modifications, administrative updates, required notifications,
requests for cancellations, withdrawals, duplicates, and exten-sions of
time to construct. The ULS offers a link to Antenna Structure
Registration (ASR) filing. Applicants and the general public can also
perform searches of Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) application
and licensing information and the ASR system. The ULS can be readily
accessed via the Internet[^1] or via direct dial-up to the Commission
Wide Area Network (WAN).

Frequency coordinators will electronically file ULS Land Mobile
applications where frequency coordination or their licensing services
are utilized. However, call signs **must** be registered to the correct
Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) before an application can be
submitted.

The Commission urges Land Mobile licensees to register their TIN\'s and
associated call signs prior to ULS deployment. To register your TIN,
click on the \"TIN/Call Sign Registration\" button on the ULS homepage,
then follow the prompts. If you have registered your TIN, whether
manually or electronically, you can confirm your registration, as well
as update your information, via the ULS. For assistance, contact the FCC
Technical Support Hotline at (202) 414-1250.[^2]

WTB will provide further guidance on deployment of these radio services
to ULS in future Public Notices. The most current information is also
available from the ULS homepage.
