Assign Authorization/Transfer Control

General Information

Other Wireless Licenses?

Select Yes or No from the pull-down menu to indicate whether this application for Assignment of Authorization or Transfer of Control is part of a series of applications involving other wireless license(s) held by the licensee, affiliates of the licensee (e.g., parents, subsidiaries, or commonly-controlled entities), or third parties that are not included on this application and for which Commission approval or notification is required.

If you selected "Yes," you must provide the file number of the lead application in the space provided.

For the purpose of this question, "affiliates" is defined in 47 CFR 1.2110(a)(4), and includes parents, subsidiaries, or commonly controlled entities. Where a transaction involves transfer or assignment of multiple licenses held by a common licensee, a single application should be filed whenever possible. Where a transaction involves transfer or assignment of licenses by affiliated licensees, a separate application must be filed for each affiliate, and each applicant must enter "Yes" because the transaction that is the subject of its application also involves transfer or assignment of wireless licenses held by affiliated licensees. Enter "No" if all of the licenses to be transferred or assigned as a result of the proposed transaction are included on this application. Affiliated applicants who seek to assign or transfer licenses as part of a common transaction are strongly encouraged to contact the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau in advance of filing an Assignment of Authorization/Transfer of Control.

Non-Wireless Licenses?

Select Yes or No from the pull-down menu to indicate whether this application for Assignment of Authorization or Transfer of Control involves the assignment or transfer of non-wireless licenses/authorizations for which Commission approval or notification is required.

For this purpose, "wireless" licenses are licenses in services that are covered by FCC Form 603, FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Application for Assignments of Authorization and Transfers of Control, and "non-wireless" licenses are licenses in any other FCC-regulated service (e.g., broadcast) for which a form other than Form 603 is used to request Commission approval of the assignment or transfer. Applicants who seek to assign or transfer both wireless and non-wireless licenses are strongly encouraged to contact the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau in advance of filing Form 603.

Attachments?

Select Yes or No from the pull-down menu to indicate whether attachments are being filed with this application. Review the instructions included with the both the electronic and paper versions of the Form 603 to determine whether attachments are required with this application.


Note: In a two party application, attachments can be attached by both parties.
