B. Registering In CORES To participate in FCC auctions, every qualified bidder needs an FCC Registration Number (FRN). To obtain an FRN, a bidder must register their Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) using the Commission Registration System (CORES). To access CORES, point your web browser to the FCC Auctions page at http:// wireless. fcc. gov/ auctions/ and click the CORES link under Related Sites. 1 During the registration process, you specify a password that you will use to logon to the Auctions System. Once you have registered successfully, CORES will assign you an FRN. Be sure to write this number and password down and put it in a secure place. Before logging on to the Auctions System for the first time, you must send your FRN to the FCC Operations Group. To do this, include your entity name, TIN, and FRN in an e- mail to auction32@ fcc. gov or a fax to (717) 338- 2850. C.

Uploading Attachments When uploading attachments from the Form 175 Attachments page, you may use a variety of file formats-- including Word 2000 or earlier, WordPerfect 6.x or earlier, Adobe PDF, and ASCII text-- and you should verify that the files contain all exhibit information. Also note the following about files to be uploaded: € Files may be no larger than 1.5 Mb. € Graphics files (e. g., .bmp, .tiff, .jpg) and spreadsheets (e. g., Excel, Lotus) are not supported. € Word processing files that are uploaded may not contain graphic images. 2 € You may include hyphens (-) and underscore (_) symbols in the name of a file to be uploaded, but do not use other punctuation marks or blank spaces. The FCC system will not be able to convert that file. € The path to a file (i. e., the file name and its directory) must not exceed 60 characters. € Do not upload a password- protected file. The FCC system will not be able to open it or convert it. € Do not include your TIN in any attachment to be uploaded. Contents of attachments become public once the Status PN is released. The system converts each uploaded attachment to PDF format. (The conversion process generally completes within 30 minutes.) Until the system has converted your file to PDF format, the description field shows Not converted. Repeat this procedure for each additional attachment you want to add. When you have finished adding attachments, click the Continue to CERTIFICATION button to obtain the Certification page. a. Unreadable Attachment Files If you are unable to read an attachment file after it has been converted, please do the following: 1. Re- upload the attachment. 2. If the file still has not been converted properly, then simplify the formatting of the file. For example, if you are using a Table structure in a WordPerfect document, remove the Table structure and leave the contents of the table, then re- upload the attachment. After you have successfully re- uploaded an attachment, please delete the old, unreadable attachment files using their Delete links. 3. Completing the Resubmission Procedure Applicants must click the SUBMIT Application button on the Submission page to successfully resubmit their FCC Form 175. Clicking SUBMIT Application produces a Submission Confirmation page showing the assigned FCC Account Number.
