 FCC  Seeks  Customer  Input  On  Assessing  Its  Licensing  Systems 
 The  Federal  Communications  Commission  (FCC)  is  working  on  ways  to  improve  electronic  licensing  systems  for  our  customers.  This  is  a  long  term  project  aimed  at  bringing  beneficial  licensing  system 
 changes  to  the  public.  To  that  end,  the  FCC,  Office  of  the  Managing  Director,  is  soliciting  customer  insight  into  the  electronic  licensing  experience.  Individual  licensing  systems  are  continually  making 
 improvements,  and  this  project  is  looking  at  possible  improvements  across  FCC  systems.  We  would  like  to  hear  about  your  electronic  licensing  system  experience,  including  filing  a  licensing  application, 
 customer  assistance  available  for  licensing  systems,  availability  of  application  status,  look  and  feel  of  Internet  filing,  and  any  other  topic  important  to  you  concerning  FCC  licensing  systems.  High  priority 
 improvements  across  licensing  systems  may  begin  to  be  implemented  during  fiscal  year  2003. 
 Customers  include  organizations  and  individuals  that  use  any  or  all  of  the  following  systems,  or  individuals  or  organizations  that  need  to  gather  licensing-  related  data  from  these  systems: 


 €  Consolidated  Database  System  (CDBS)  €  Broadband  Licensing  System  (BLS) 
 €  Universal  Licensing  System  (ULS)  €  International  Bureau  Filing  Systems  (IBFS) 
 €  Cable  Operation  and  Licensing  System  (COALS)  €  Equipment  Authorization  System  (EAS) 
 €  Experimental  Licensing  System  (ELS)  €  Commission  Registration  System  (CORES). 


 Some  information  has  already  been  received  from  customers  providing  input  to  recent  licensing  systems  improvements,  and  that  input  need  not  be  entered  again  through  a  response  to  this  public  notice.  This 
 notice  targets  organizations  and  individuals  not  already  heard,  so  their  comments  and  suggestions  can  be  recorded. 


 Please  send  your  comments  to  the  FCC  via  electronic  mail  to  Syscomments@  fcc.  gov  by  March  28,  2002.  Please  provide  us  with  your  name,  the  name  of  your  organization,  your  e-  mail  and  a  daytime  phone 
 number.  If  you  have  multiple  suggestions  or  comments,  please  prioritize  your  comments  and  suggestions  with  the  most  important  listed  first.  If  possible,  please  provide  us  with  information  about  how  your 
 suggested  change  will  impact  you.  For  example,  if  you  suggest  a  change  in  the  interface  for  an  electronic  application  filing,  please  indicate  how  much  time  per  license  such  a  change  would  save  you.  Here  is  a
