{"abstract":"In this Report and Order, the Commission finalizes its transition to electronic interactions for licenses in the Wireless Radio Services. Specifically, the E-Licensing Report and Order: Eliminates existing exemptions to electronic filing in the FCC's Universal Licensing System and require electronic filing in the Antenna Structure Registration system; requires electronic filing (and delivery of service) of pleadings related to these systems; requires applicants, licensees, and registrants to provide an email address on related FCC Forms; and shifts from paper to electronic delivery of Commission correspondence generated from these systems. Together, these changes will decrease costs for consumers and the Commission, enhance transparency of and public access to data, and save a substantial amount of paper annually.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2020/12/29/2020-28779.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"1","title":47},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"13","title":47},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"17","title":47},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"97","title":47}],"citation":"85 FR 85524","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective June 29, 2021.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["WT Docket No. 19-212","FCC 20-126","FRS 17235"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2020-28779","effective_on":"2021-06-29","end_page":85533,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2020/12/29/2020-28779.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/12/29/2020-28779/completing-the-transition-to-electronic-filing-licenses-and-authorizations-and-correspondence-in-the","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2020-28779?publication_date=2020-12-29","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2020-12-29/2020-28779/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":10,"page_views":{"count":1337,"last_updated":"2026-09-23 04:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-12-29/pdf/2020-28779.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2020-28779.pdf?1609163152","publication_date":"2020-12-29","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2020/12/29/2020-28779.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"FCC","document_id":"FCC-2020-0500-0001","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2020-12-31T04:30:09Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":85524,"subtype":null,"title":"Completing the Transition to Electronic Filing, Licenses and Authorizations, and Correspondence in the Wireless Radio Services","toc_doc":"Completing the Transition to Electronic Filing, Licenses and Authorizations, and Correspondence in the Wireless Radio Services","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Environmental impact statements","Radio","Telecommunications"],"type":"Rule","volume":85}
