Telecommunications call signs with the FCC; (2) to register the

[[Page 19178]]

numbers with the FCC. This form is also used by an antenna structure

tenant licensee who is required to register the antenna structure

because the owner is subject to the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. It

must be submitted before filing any subsequent applications associated

with the existing license or antenna structure registration and prior

to applying for a Wireless Telecommunications license or antenna

structure registration for the first time.

The form and its instructions are being revised to add information

about the antenna structure owner TIN registration requirements due to

the implementation of Antenna Structure Registration in the Universal

Licensing System (ULS).
