The FCC’s Wireless Telecommunications Bureau announced it will begin sending e-mail license expiration notifications to public safety entities effective April 16th, 2004. The e-mails will be sent at intervals of 90, 60, 30 and 10 days prior to the license expiration date. Once a renewal application has been received, the e-mails will stop being sent. The FCC will continue to send a written renewal letter 90 days before expiration, and–if you’re completely in a trance–the FCC staff will make a telephone notification between one and 9 days before expiration. You should make sure that your e-mail and telephone number are correct in the FCC’s Universal Licensing System– that’s the information they’ll use to make contact with you.
