                               FCC FORM 442               

     The Federal Communications Commission has revised its Form 442 (Application for
New or Modified Radio Station under Part 5 of FCC Rules).  The current revision is dated
March 1996, and states at the bottom of the form that all previous editions of the form are
obsolete.  Effective September 1, 1996, the Experimental Licensing Branch of the Office of
Engineering and Technology will not accept applications submitted on any Form 442 older
than the March 1996 version.  After that time, any application submitted on an outdated form
will be returned to the applicant with a current form and instructions to resubmit the
application on the current form.

     The Experimental Licensing Branch (ELB) advises all regular Form 442 filers to
obtain copies of the March 1996 version of the form as soon as possible.  Copies of the
current form may be obtained in three ways:

     1.    Through the Commission's forms hot-line.  To request form 442, dial (202-
           418-FORM and follow the instructions.

           demand, applicants should dial (202) 418-0177 from a fax machine, then at the
           main menu, key in 000442.
