Telecommunications Radio (WTB) Services' Universal Licensing System 
(ULS). The FCC Form 601 is composed of a main form that contains the 
administrative information and a series of schedules used for filing 
technical information. Respondents are encourages to file 
electronically. The form has been modified to adopt requirements in 
various Commission rulemakings. Additionally, the Commission is 
increasing the number of respondents for potential winners to file in 
upcoming auctions, thus removing the need for repetitive emergency 
clearances submitted to OMB due to auction related changes (additional 
radio services necessary for auction winners).
