      COMMISSION TO HOLD PUBLIC FORUM FOR COMMISSION
               REGISTRATION SYSTEM (CORES) 
                          JULY 31

 
 The Commission will hold a public forum on Monday, July 31, 2000, from 10 am
 until noon to answer questions you may have about CORES.  The forum will be held in
 the Commission Meeting Room at 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC.   If you plan to
 attend the forum contact Tammy Watson at twatson@fcc.gov, or by calling (202) 418-
 0565. Individuals with disabilities who need accommodations for the July 31 public
 forum are asked to contact Brian Millin at access@fcc.gov, or by calling (202) 418-7426
 voice, (202) 418-7365 TTY.
 
 CORES is a registration system for entities filing applications or making payments
 with the Commission.  CORES will assign a unique 10-digit FCC Registration Number
 (FRN) which can be obtained both on-line and manually.  Over time, the FRN will be
 used by all Commission systems that handle financial, authorization of service, and
 enforcement activities.  The use of the registration number is voluntary, although the
 Commission will consider making it mandatory in the future.
 
 You can access the on-line filing system or get further information on CORES by
 visiting the FCC's web site at www.fcc.gov and clicking on the CORES registration link. 
 You may also file manually by completing and filing a FCC Form 160 (CORES
 Registration).  Mailing instructions are found on Form 160.  You will receive a CORES
 registration number automatically by mail if you were registered in the Wireless
 Telecommunications Bureau's Universal Licensing System (ULS) prior to June 22, 2000.
