## Introduction

- The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) is implementing the new Form 608 to automate the filing of Spectrum Leasing Arrangement filings.
- The WTB created an interim filing process using Form 603-T for spectrum leasing filings.
- Form 608 obsoletes the interim Form 603-T and allows for efficient online filing of most spectrum leasing filings.

## 603-T and Existing Active Lease Data Conversion

- Applications still pending as of deployment will be converted to Form 608 applications.
- Active leases as of deployment will be converted to the new lease format in ULS.
- Active leases will be issued a new lease ID and a lease letter.
- A history item will be added to identify all active leases that have been converted.
- 603-T Applications will remain searchable through ULS Application Search.

## Filing the 608

- Form 608 supports the following spectrum leasing purposes through electronic filing:
- New Lease
- Transfer of Control of a Lessee
- Extend Term of a Lease
- Cancel a Lease
- Administrative Update of a Lease
- Modification of a Lease

## Users may file to inform the Commission that a lease never commenced by filing a lease cancellation and checking the “lease never commenced” box.

Users may convert from a short-term de facto transfer lease to a long-term de facto transfer lease by filing a new lease application and cancelling the existing lease.  

Assignment of a lease may be filed by applying for a new lease and cancelling the original lease.

Subleases and Private Commons Arrangements cannot be filed electronically; they must be filed using the paper version of Form 608.  They will be available for viewing in ULS License Search.
