assignment complete and will issue the license to the assignee with the
date of the license grant identical to the date upon which the
transaction closed, thus completing the assignment. 47 C.F.R. §

Licensees are required to notify the Commission of consummation of an
approved transfer or assignment using FCC Form 603. The assignee or
transferee is responsible for providing this notification, including the
