To perform either of these procedures, you must first reach ULS through the Internet (http:// wireless. fcc. gov/ uls/ ) or through a direct dial- up connection. (Attachment H describes how to establish a direct connection to the FCC Network using the Dial- Up Networking features of Windows 95/ 98.) You may use Netscape Communicator (v. 4.5, 4.51, 4.61, 4.7x) or Internet Explorer (v. 5.5- 6.2) web browser software to electronically register and file FCC Form 601 through ULS. You can download Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer free of charge through an Internet connection. The Netscape download site is http:// home. netscape. com/ download/ archive. html, and Internet Explorer can be found at http:// www. microsoft. com/ windows/ ie/ downloads/ default. asp.

SMALL CAPS Represents keys on the keyboard (e. g., ENTER, CTRL, ESC). 1 G- 2 Registering Call Signs in ULS If you wish to register existing ULS call signs with your FRN before filing your 601, follow the instructions below. If you do not need to register existing call signs, proceed to the next section, "Filing Form 601 Electronically." 1. Access the ULS home page by typing http:// wireless. fcc. gov/ uls/ in the location field of your web browser, and pressing the ENTER key. (You may also establish a direct dial- up connection to ULS by using Dial- Up Networking in Windows. See Attachment H for complete instructions.) 2. Click the CORES/ Call Sign button. 3.

Click the Help button for additional call sign entry instructions. 6. A screen appears requesting you to identify the call signs (if any) to be associated with your FRN. Even though you already have licenses issued by the FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, you must identify to ULS the call signs that are to be associated with your FRN. After entering your call signs, click the Submit button. 7. When your registration has been successfully submitted to the FCC, a confirmation message screen appears: “Your Call Sign/ ASR Information Has Been Updated.” Important: Your call signs have not been successfully submitted to ULS unless this confirmation screen appears. 8.

Note: If the applicant is owned by a Real Party in Interest, the FRN of that entity must also have been registered with the FCC. 2 G- 3 Filing FCC Form 601 Electronically After you have received an FRN and registered call signs if necessary, follow these steps to file FCC Form 601 electronically: 1. Access the ULS home page by typing http:// wireless. fcc. gov/ uls/ in the location field of your web browser and pressing the ENTER key. (You may also establish a direct dial- up connection to ULS by using Dial- Up Networking in Windows. See Attachment H for complete instructions.) 2. Click the Online Filing button. Note: The Online Filing function of ULS triggers the automatic downloading of certain Java files by your web browser. These files will enable your system to communicate securely with ULS. To operate correctly, you must grant permission for these files to be downloaded and installed on your system. Please see http:// wireless. fcc. gov/ uls/ support/ gettingconnected. html for more information on this feature. 3. At the ULS Online Filing login screen, enter the applicant’s FRN and password. Then click Continue. Note: You may also enter your TIN/ SGIN and password. We will verify you have a valid FRN associated with your TIN/ SGIN, or otherwise prompt you to obtain an FRN. You must have an FRN to proceed with online filing. If you were an existing licensee in ULS prior to December 3, 2001, you may already have an FRN. Search by your call sign or licensee name in ULS License Search to determine your FRN. (Go to the ULS home page, and select the Licenses button next to the Search heading.) Please contact Technical Support at (202) 414- 1250 if you have any difficulties connecting to ULS. 4. Click the Continue button.

Basic Guidelines for Filing Form 601 Online: • Some of the data entry fields on the online application form may be prefilled with information from the Form 175 process for auctionable applications. • The online application consists of data entry fields as well as “yes or no” questions. You must respond to all of these questions on the application. If you respond “Yes” to a question, you may be required to file an attachment explaining the specific circumstances (see form for specific instructions). • An Attachments button is provided for uploading attachment files. You are responsible for filing all required attachments. • An Errors screen will list any erroneous or incomplete information you have provided. Click Return, make your corrections, and then click Continue again. You can Save your application and complete it at a later date if necessary. Saved applications must usually be completed within 30 days; however, applications for an auctionable service must be completed within the specific filing window of the auction. • Prior to submitting an application, you may click the Print Preview button (where available) to create a preview of your completed application. 9. When your application has been successfully submitted to the FCC, a confirmation message screen appears. This screen shows a file number for the application.

Use ULS to change a pending application, as follows: • To make changes to a pending application at any time before the 6: 00 P. M. ET filing deadline on June 13, 2003, perform the preceding Steps 1 through 5. When the screen listing pending applications appears, find the entry for the application you want and click that entry. The pending application will appear, and you can change it and then submit the updated version. • To make changes to a pending application after the 6: 00 P. M. ET filing deadline on June 13, 2003, perform the preceding Steps 1 through 5. When the Purpose of Application screen appears, obtain the drop- down menu and select Amendment, then click the Continue button. On the next screen, obtain the drop- down menu on the File Number box, select the file number for the application you want to amend, and then click the Continue button. The pending application appears, and you can change it and then submit the amended version. Important: FCC rules contain limitations on filing of major amendments after the June 13, 2003, deadline that may affect the applicant's legal rights. Acceptance of an amendment by ULS does not indicate that the amendment is allowed under the rules. Applicants are advised to consult FCC rules in this regard prior to filing an amendment. Once the FCC has granted a request for a license, you can change that license by requesting a modification. To begin, perform the preceding Steps 1 through 5. When the Purpose of Application screen appears, obtain the drop- down menu and select Modification; then click the Continue button. On the next screen, obtain the drop- down menu on the Call Sign box, select the call sign for the license you want to modify, and then click the Continue button.
