**WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU ANNOUNCES PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION OF
FILING PROCESS FOR FCC FORM 608 FOR APPLICATION OR NOTIFICATION FOR
SPECTRUM LEASING ARRANGEMENTS IN THE UNIVERSAL LICENSING SYSTEM
(SCHEDULED ON August 16, 2006)**

The Federal Communications Commission's (FCC or Commission) Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) will deploy a new form and filing
interface for electronic filing of FCC Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau Application or Notification for Spectrum Leasing Arrangement or
Private Commons Arrangement, FCC Form 608. FCC Form 608 will replace the
current FCC Form 603-T which has been used as part of the interim
spectrum leasing process. Once deployed, FCC Form 608 will render FCC
Form 603-T obsolete. Thus, as of the deployment date of FCC Form 608,
FCC Form 603-T will no longer be accepted. The WTB will hold a
demonstration and training session on how to file applications using the
new interface and perform searches for secondary markets-related
applications on Wednesday, August 16, 2006, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The
event will take place in the FCC's South Conference Room (Room 7-B516),
on the Seventh Floor of the Portals II building, at the Commission's
Washington, DC headquarters, located at 445 Twelfth Street, SW.
Interested parties are requested to pre-register for the event by August
11, 2006.

**Demonstration of the New FCC Form 608**

The new FCC Form 608 is being added to the Universal Licensing System
(ULS) License Manager to implement the Commission\'s policies adopted in
its *Secondary Markets* proceeding.[^1] Parties will use FCC Form 608
for purposes of seeking FCC authority to and/or providing notification
that they will enter into Spectrum Leasing Arrangements and Private
Commons Arrangements. ULS License Manager provides a web-based
environment for filing wireless applications. It allows for filing of
applications in a question-and-answer format through an application
wizard. The demonstration will include the following:

-   A demonstration of how to file Spectrum Leasing Arrangements;

-   A discussion of new form questions; and

-   An opportunity for public questions and feedback.

**Secondary Markets Application Search**

WTB will also demonstrate a specialized search mechanism for secondary
markets-related applications. This search mechanism will enable users to
specify search criteria related to assignment, transfer, and lease
applications. To accommodate leases, this search interface has been
modified with additional lease-specific fields. The event will include a
demonstration of these new fields and how they can be used to perform a
secondary markets search, a discussion of the search criteria and an
overview of how applications are displayed.

**Specialized Lease Search**

WTB will also demonstrate a specialized search mechanism for leases,
available from the license search home page. This search mechanism will
enable users to specify search criteria related to leases that have been
granted or accepted by the FCC. This specialized search interface
provides lease-specific search fields and a refined search result set
that includes only lease data.

As part of this initiative, new functionality has also been added to the
Advanced Search, as well as the existing specialized searches. The event
will include a demonstration of the new specialized search features
including how to search for leases, the layout of the lease information,
and an overview of how leases are displayed.

streaming video through your Web browser. It is highly recommended that
