SB QST ARL ARLB012
ARLB012 Updated: FCC ULS Unavailable, Filing Deadlines Extended

In an email to all VECs, the FCC indicated that a Public Notice was
issued by the Commission on June 13, 2023:

FCC Public Notice DA 23-506:  UNIVERSAL LICENSING, TOWER
CONSTRUCTION NOTIFICATION, E-106, AND ANTENNA STRUCTURE REGISTRATION
SYSTEMS UNAVAILABLE; FILING DEADLINES EXTENDED

The FCC Public Notice can be seen at:
https://www.fcc.gov/document/uls-tcns-e-106-and-asr-unavailable-filing-
deadlines-extended-0

(above URL all on one line).

The notice states that the FCC's Universal Licensing System (ULS),
Tower Construction Notification System (TCNS), E-106 System, and
Antenna Structure Registration System (ASR) have been unavailable
since approximately 6:30 p.m. EDT on Friday, June 9, due to
technical issues that the agency anticipates resolving in the near
term.

Further the FCC is extending deadlines for regulatory filings in ULS
and ASR because parties have not and will not be able to make
electronic filings or view the contents of the affected systems
while they are unavailable. Therefore the FCC is extending the
filing deadlines for all regulatory filings that needed to be or
will need to be made in these systems starting June 9, 2023 and
until the Commission announces ULS operations, for at least three
business days after access to the systems resumes.

The FCC's Commission Registration (CORES) System used to pay fees is
unaffected and will remain operational and available to pay any
regulatory fee or application fee payments during this period.

The FCC ULS systems affected that are used by amateurs are the
Electronic Batch Filing (EBF) used by VECs for new and upgrade
license submissions and club license applications, Application
Search, License Search, and the License Manager system used for
filing applications directly with the FCC.

At this time, the FCC has stated they do not have a target for the
ULS systems to be back online.
