Needs and Uses: This ‘‘generic’’

renewal application may be used in lieu

of FCC Forms 313R, 405A, 452R and

574R, to file electronically for renewal

of Wireless Radio Services

Authorizations. Concurrent with

renewal, applicants may also request a

change of licensee name (with no

change to corporate structure,

ownership or control), change of

mailing address, re-instatement of a

Land Mobile license, and notify the

Commission of a change in the number

of mobiles/pagers for a Land Mobile

license.

Applicants still desiring to file for

renewal of license manually may still do

so by submitting the FCC Forms 313R,

405A, 452R, or 574R, depending upon

which radio services for which they are

licensed.

This generic renewal form displays

information from the current

authorization as it exists in the

Commission’s license database based

upon the call sign entered by the

applicant. Information can be added and

edited if necessary and electronically

submitted to the Commission. It is

estimated that 90% of these applications

‘‘auto-grant’’ within a few days of

receipt and only 10% require further

examiner review.

The information is used by engineers

for enforcement and interference

resolution purposes.
