numbers with the FCC. This form is also used by an antenna structure tenant licensee who is required to register the antenna structure because the owner is subject to the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. It must be submitted before filing any subsequent applications associated with the existing license or antenna structure registration and prior to applying for a Wireless Telecommunications license or antenna structure registration for the first time.

The form and its instructions are being revised to add information about the antenna structure owner TIN registration requirements due to the implementation of Antenna Structure Registration in the Universal Licensing System (ULS).
