**WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU**

**MAKES BROADCAST AUXILIARY RADIO STATION LICENSE DATABASES AVAILABLE
FOR REVIEW PRIOR TO ULS IMPLEMENTATION**

This notice instructs licensees in the following services on how to
access and review the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau's licensing
database and how to submit corrections if necessary:

**Low Power and Remote Pick Up Broadcast Auxiliary**

# Aural and Television Microwave Broadcast Auxiliary

The Bureau is developing a Universal Licensing System (ULS) to combine
11 separate databases and provide greater efficiencies in the entire
licensing process. This system will provide the public with electronic
filing as well as online querying and mapping capabilities. In order to
maximize the benefits of these tools, licensing data must be current and
accurate. Prior to transferring licensing data from our existing
databases into the ULS, we are making these databases available via the
Internet so those licensees may review the data.

**How to access the databases.** Licensees may access the databases via
the Internet at http://www.fcc.gov/wtb/database_info.html. Licensees may
review a database online one call sign at a time, or download an entire
database for analysis on the user's computer. Both the online search and
the database files contain only current authorizations. Each licensee
should confirm that all administrative and technical data shown in the
database is correct and that its operating parameters are consistent
with those provided by its license.

To query licenses, click on "[Search the Wireless Databases
Online]{.underline}" and use the General Menu Reports to retrieve
license data.

To download an entire database, click on \"[Download the Wireless
Databases]{.underline}\". There are two files of Microwave
authorizations (micro1.zip and micro2.zip) and five files of Land Mobile
authorizations (WTBgrnt1.zip through WTBgrnt5.zip). Some of the database
files are very large. A_SIZES.txt file provides information on the
approximate site of each database in megabytes. A definition of the
SYBASE table structure is provided in the WTBread.txt, micro1.txt, and
micro2.txt files. For technical support concerning these files, you may
contact Technical Support by e-mail at betacomm@fcc.gov or by phone at
(202) 414-1250 between the hours of 8 AM and 6 PM EST.

**How to submit corrections.** Licensees may notify the Bureau of
database errors informally. In those instances where there is no record
of the license in the database, or where site, frequency, or technical
data is missing or incorrect, licensees should submit a copy of the
station authorization or a copy of the original application for
authorization and any subsequent applications for modification of the
license. Any documentation should clearly indicate the data that is
missing from the licensing database or the corrections that are
required. Wherever possible, copies of applications should reflect the
FCC stamped receipt date. To ensure that the Bureau has ample time to
take timely corrective action prior to conversion of the data to the
ULS, **corrections must be received in the Bureau by July 1, 1999.**

**Where to submit corrections.** Corrections should be mailed to:

Federal Communications Commission

Wireless Telecommunications Bureau

Information Technology Division
