   WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU UPGRADES THE UNIVERSAL
 LICENSING SYSTEM'S SEARCH CAPABILITIES REGARDING ASSIGNMENT OF
          LICENSE AND TRANSFER OF CONTROL APPLICATIONS

     The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau's (Bureau's) Universal Licensing System (ULS)
provides, among other things, an online means for the public to research and view applications submitted to
the Bureau.  The Bureau has recently upgraded the ULS "Application Search" functionality to include
queries specifically geared toward researching proposed transfers of control or assignments of license (FCC
Form 603 applications).  For example, the public may determine whether an application has been filed,
view Form 603 online, or determine the status of a particular application.  The Bureau invites applicants,
licensees, and the public to take advantage of this powerful research tool.  ULS Application Search
(including online instructions) is available on the Internet at http://www.fcc.gov/wtb/uls.

Technical Support/Contact Information

For general information about ULS, including answers to frequently asked questions regarding submitting
applications, finding the status of pending applications, and searching the ULS database, the Commission
recommends first consulting the ULS web page at http://www.fcc.gov/wtb/uls.  Those having specific
questions not addressed on the web page may contact Commission staff via phone or e-mail as described
