Application Forms.

    Needs and Uses: Effective July 1, 1996, the current antenna 
clearance procedures were replaced with a uniform registration 
procedure that applied to antenna structure owners. Structure owners 
receive an Antenna Structure Registration Number, which is a unique 
number that identifies an antenna structure. Once obtained, this number 
must be used on all filings related to the antenna structure. The 
Commission requires this Registration Number to be submitted with any 
of the applications for licensing. This clearance is required in order 
to allow time for the Commission to update its application forms to 
include collection of Antenna Structure Registration Number. While we 
have accomplished this task, we continue to accept older version so the 
forms with the registration number as an attachment, merely as a 
customer convenience until radio services are fully implemented in ULS.
