Commission is making minor
clarifications to the instructions on the
main form and schedule B as well as a
clarification to Item 3 on the main form.
The data collected on this form
includes the Date of Birth for
Commercial Operator licensees however
this information will be redacted from
public view.
The FCC uses the information in FCC
Form 605 to determine whether the
applicant is legally, technically, and
financially qualified to obtain a license.
Without such information, the
Commission cannot determine whether
to issue the licenses to the applicants
that provide telecommunication
services to the public, and therefore, to
fulfill its statutory responsibilities in
accordance with the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended.
The Commission is revising the basic
qualifications section of the form to
include a question regarding whether an
application has been convicted of a
felony in any state or federal court.
Applicants, answering yes must provide
an explanation. This item enables the
FCC to determine whether an Applicant
is eligible under §§ 310(d) and 308(b) of
the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, to hold or have ownership
interest in a station license.
In addition we are seeking approval to
change the ship application form
require the applicant provide the official
ship number. Coast Guard requests we
change this question from optional to
required. Obtaining the ship number is
the only way to reliably link a license
to a specific vessel.
The Information provided on this
form will also be used to update the
database and to provide for proper use
of the frequency spectrum as well as
enforcement purposes.
