In the Notice, the Bureau announces the implementation of further enhancements to the Commission’s Universal Licensing System (ULS) and Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) System and adopts final procedures for providing access to official electronic authorizations through these systems. Under these procedures, all commercial, private and public safety wireless service licensees and ASR registrants will access their current official authorizations in ‘‘Active’’ status only through License Manager in ULS or ASR Dashboard in the ASR System or by email, unless a licensee or registrant notifies the Commission that it wishes to receive its official authorizations on paper through the U.S. Postal Service. For purposes of the Notice, the term ‘‘authorization’’ includes all current commercial, private, and public safety wireless service licenses, commercial radio operator permits, vessel exemptions, and spectrum leases in ‘‘Active’’ status authorized under parts 1, 13, 20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 74, 80, 87, 90, 95, 97 and 101 of the Commission’s rules. The term also includes all current FCC Forms 854R, Antenna Structure Registrations, in ‘‘Active’’ status, including ‘‘Granted’’ or ‘‘Constructed,’’ SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 authorized under part 17 of the Commission’s rules. The term does not include current authorizations in any status other than ‘‘Active,’’ including, for example, current authorizations in ‘‘Expired,’’ ‘‘Cancelled,’’ or ‘‘Terminated’’ status in ULS, or ‘‘Cancelled,’’ ‘‘Dismantled,’’ or ‘‘Terminated’’ status in the ASR System. In addition, the term does not include spectrum subleases or private commons arrangements, which the Bureau will continue to process on a manual basis, nor does the term include authorizations archived in ULS. Antenna Structure Registrations are not archived in the ASR System. Finally, while other Commission Bureaus manage other licensing systems, the enhancements and final procedures in the Notice apply only to ULS and the ASR System. The action taken in the Notice marks another step in the Commission’s process reform efforts, and allows the Bureau to modernize the Commission’s wireless service licensing and antenna structure registration processes. As discussed in detail in the Notice, the Bureau takes the following actions: • All licensees and registrants can access their official authorizations in Active status by securely logging into License Manager in ULS or ASR Dashboard in the ASR System. Once accessed, the licensee or registrant can download, save and print official authorizations, to the extent needed. • A licensee or registrant can also obtain an electronic version of its authorization through email once its application is granted if the licensee or registrant voluntarily includes a valid email address in the application that it files through ULS or the ASR System, or that it provides to a private organization through which the applicant files applications, e.g., a Frequency Coordinator, Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC), or a Commercial Operator License Examination Manager (COLEM). • Each official authorization will include a watermark ‘‘Official Copy’’ imprinted across the face of each page of the authorization to authenticate the official status of the license or registration. • If a licensee or registrant chooses to notify the Bureau that it wishes to receive its official authorization(s) on paper through the mail, it may do so electronically, by telephone, or in writing. The Commission also retains the process by which licensees and registrants may apply through ULS or the ASR System to have duplicate paper copies of official authorizations mailed through the U.S. Postal Service.
