# Released: September 9, 1999

**WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU TO BEGIN USE OF**

**UNIVERSAL LICENSING SYSTEM (ULS) FOR MICROWAVE SERVICES ON**

**AUGUST 30, 1999 -- ERRATUM**

***Bureau Clarifies Last Date for Use of Pre-ULS Forms, Lists Additional
Information Required for Submission of Pre-ULS Forms During Transition
Period***

On August 6, 1999, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau)
released a Public Notice, DA 99-1543, titled "Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau to Begin Use of Universal Licensing System
(ULS) for Microwave Services on August 30, 1999." Since August 30, the
Bureau has been using the Universal Licensing System (ULS) to accept and
process applications in the Microwave Services.

This Erratum: (1) clarifies that the date by which manual (paper-filed)
applications and letter requests will no longer be accepted is March 1,
2000; and (2) replaces the Appendix listing the supplemental information
the Bureau requires of filers who elect to submit pre-ULS forms or file
letter requests during the transition period. For a complete description
of the filing procedures for applications in the Microwave Services
under ULS, this Erratum should be read in conjunction with the August 6
Public Notice, which is available on the ULS homepage on the internet
(<http://www.fcc.gov/wtb/uls)>. Choose "FCC ULS Releases" under the "ULS
Information Center" section of the homepage.

**Use of Pre-ULS Forms**

Applicants and licensees in the Microwave Services may continue to use
previous (pre-ULS) forms and submit letter requests for a six-month
period after conversion of the Microwave Services to ULS. Tuesday,
February 29, 2000, is the last date the Bureau will accept previous
(pre-ULS) forms for the Microwave Services.[^1] We will dismiss without
prejudice any pre-ULS forms or letter requests filed on or after March
1, 2000.

**Supplemental Information Required**

Applicants who choose to submit pre-ULS forms during the six-month
transition period must provide certain additional information with their
applications (including TIN information) as set forth in Appendix A. The
attached appendix replaces the Appendix A provided in the August 6,
1999, Public Notice in its entirety. Due to the differences between
current ULS forms and the previous forms used for the Microwave
Services, **the Bureau strongly discourages use of the pre-ULS forms.**
Applications submitted on these forms (with the supplemental
information) will result in slower processing than electronic filing or
manual (paper) filing using ULS forms.

Applications received after September 9, 1999 (the release date of this
*Erratum*) that do not contain the information prescribed in Appendix A
***of this Erratum*** are subject to dismissal without prejudice.

**For Further Information or Assistance**

For general information about ULS, including answers to frequently asked
questions regarding submitting applications, finding the status of
pending applications, and searching the ULS database, the Commission
recommends first consulting the ULS webpage at
<http://www.fcc.gov/wtb/uls>. Individuals having specific questions not
addressed on the webpage may contact Commission staff via phone or
e-mail as described below.

FCC Technical Support Hotline: (202) 414-1250 (TTY -- (202) 414-1255),
or via e-mail at ulscomm@fcc.gov. Contact the Technical Support Hotline
about questions concerning computer access to ULS, TIN registration,
uploading files, or submitting attachments in ULS. The hotline is
available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., local eastern
time. In order to provide better service to ULS users and ensure the
security of the electronic filing system, all calls to the hotline are
recorded.

ULS Licensing Support: 1-888-CALL-FCC (225-5322) (select Auction/ULS
Forms prompt), or via e-mail at ulshelp@fcc.gov. Contact Licensing
Support with questions about which application purpose(s) are
appropriate for a particular filing, what information is being requested
on a ULS Form or Schedule, or any other ULS-related licensing matter.
ULS Licensing Support is available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. local eastern time.

I. FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN TRANSFER OF CONTROL

Beginning September 9, 1999, we will accept filings made on FCC Form 415
(\"Application for Authorization in the Microwave Services\") for
purposes other than transfer of control, provided:

\(1\) Where the form asks for "Legal Name of Applicant," it is provided
in this format: Last Name, Middle Initial, First Name (only in cases
where the applicant is a person).

\(2\) All heights and widths are specified in meters rounded to the
nearest tenth, and are identified with an "m" after the number. All
distances/radii are specified in kilometers, rounded to the nearest
tenth, and are identified with a "km" after the number.

\(3\) All coordinates reference the North American Datum of 1983 except
for sites in the Northern Mariana Islands, Midway Island, and Wake
Island, where applicants continue to reference the applicable local
datum.

\(4\) For frequency data, the applicant attaches a separate FCC Form 415
Schedule B for each frequency, and that the applicant lists the lower or
center frequency identified with an "l" or "c" after the number in block
B2 ("frequency") and the upper frequency identified with a "u" after the
number in the first "additional frequency" block. Enter any digital
modulation rate in kilobits per second, identified with "kbps" after the
number.

\(5\) For polarization codes (question C9 on Schedule C, Path Data, and
question D16 on Schedule D, Passive Repeater), the following codes are
used:

V Vertical

H Horizontal

S Vertical/Horizontal or Variable Linear

R Right-Hand Circular

L Left-Hand Circular

In the case of rotated linear polarizations, provide the angular
displacement of the outgoing electric field from vertical, in whole
degrees measured clockwise. This number must be a negative or positive
integer between --89 and --1 or 1 and 89.

\(6\) The applicant indicates in Block 28 if the filing is for an STA.

\(7\) If the site is within the quiet zone of the Arecibo Observatory in
Arecibo, PR, the applicant indicates this by marking "Arecibo" in Block
26 and listing the date notification was provided to Arecibo.

\(8\) The applicant answers the Alien Ownership questions (Blocks 52-55)
and the Basic Qualifications questions (Blocks 56-60) on FCC Form 415.
