Electronic Filing Available for 
Wireless   Telecommunications Bureau License Renewal Applications 

The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau has consolidated eight renewal forms into one consolidated
renewal form, the Application for Electronic Renewal of Wireless Radio Services Authorizations, FCC
Form 900.  The FCC Form 900 was developed as an interim measure to allow all Wireless Bureau
licensees the ability to renew their licenses electronically.

Electronic filing  is available on the WTB Electronic Commerce page on the Internet at
http://www.fcc.gov/wtb/electcom.html  (click on Production Page for  Electronic Commerce Applications 
to access the Form 900).  Filing instructions are available by clicking on the item number on the Internet
form.  Applications that have been filed using the electronic renewal process can be queried by clicking
on Electronic Renewal Query at the same location.

Only licensees who have licenses that are in the renewal window (within 120 days of expiration) will
be able to access their call sign and submit a renewal application. The electronic FCC Form 900 cannot
be used to file for a renewal if the license is expired.  FCC Form 900 may only be submitted
electronically.  No FCC Form 900 paper applications will be accepted.

Once you have successfully submitted FCC Form 900, it is important to click on the Continue button
to obtain the fee information pertaining to your filing.  The screen will prompt you with a Fee
Remittance Advice, FCC Form 159, that you must complete, print and mail along with the appropriate
fee to Federal Communications Commission, P. O. Box 358994, Pittsburgh, PA 15251-5994.  The FCC
Form 159 and fee must be received within ten (10) days of the submission of your application or your
application will be dismissed.  Electronic payment is not available at this time.

Comments about the FCC Form 900 may be e-mailed to sreed@fcc.gov.
