Needs and Uses: FCC Form 601 is a consolidated, multi-part application form that is used for market-based and site-based licensing for wireless telecommunications services, including public safety, which are filed through the Commissions Universal Licensing System ULS or any other electronic filing interface the Commission develops. FCC Form 601 is composed of a main form that contains administrative information and a series of schedules used for filing technical and other information. This form is used to apply for a new license, to amend or withdraw a pending application, to modify or renew an existing license, cancel a license, request a duplicate license, submit required notifications, request an extension of time to satisfy construction requirements, request an administrative update to an existing license such as mailing address change, or request a Special Temporary Authority License. Respondents are encouraged to submit FCC Form 601
electronically and are required to do so when applying for an authorization for which the applicant was the winning bidder in a spectrum auction.
On April 23, 2020, the Commission adopted a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in ET

Docket 18295, FCC 2051, 6 GHz Report and Order that requires temporary fixed microwave licensees to register temporary fixed links in the ULS database in order to receive protection from unlicensed devices operating in the 6 GHz band. Automated frequency coordination AFC
administrators will use this information to determine where unlicensed devices can operate. Temporary fixed licensees were not previously required to file applications with the Commission when they commenced operation, so this is a new filing requirement. In addition to creating this new filing requirement, two new data fields will be required to describe when the temporary fixed links will be operational, so that the AFCs will know when to protect the temporary fixed links. For this purpose, a start date and end date will be added to the Form 601, Schedule I.
Further, on May 13, 2020, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, 2067 900 MHz Report and Order, which realigned the 900 MHz band to make available six of the bands ten megahertz for the deployment of broadband services and technologies.
The 900 MHz band currently is designated for narrowband land mobile radio communications by Business/
Industrial/Land Transportation B/ILT
Pool licensees and Specialized Mobile Radio SMR providers. The 900 MHz Report and Order realigned the 900
MHz band to enable a broadband transition from interleaved SMR and B/
ILT blocks to one broadband segment and two narrowband segments. To facilitate the transition, the Commission adopted a negotiation-based mechanism which, if private agreements are reached, will make available on a county-by-county basis six megahertz of low-band spectrum for the development of broadband technologies and services, while reserving the remaining four megahertz of the band for continued narrowband operations. If negotiations for the acquisition, relocation, and protection of 900 MHz incumbents in a market are successful and granting an application is otherwise in the public interest, the Commission will issue new initial licenses to applicants meeting eligibility requirements.
The 900 MHz Report and Order established license application requirements, including requirements that an applicant for a new 900 MHz broadband license demonstrate, as part of its application, that it satisfies the eligibility conditions Eligibility Certification and submit a plan for transitioning the 900 MHz band in a particular county Transition Plan, to assess whether a grant of a 900 MHz
