Search Results

The ULS Search Results page is created for you each time you submit a search. The top of the page displays the search criteria you used in your search (whether you chose a Basic, Advanced, Service-Specific, Specialized Search, Geographic Search). The number of matches to your search criteria is also displayed. If more than one page of data has been returned, a Numbered Index of links to additional results pages is displayed, along with a Next and Previous button as needed. Searches may return a mixture of licenses and leases.

License Information

The Call Sign/Lease ID, Name, FRN, Radio Service, Status, and Expiration Date for each license and lease that matches your search criteria are displayed in rows across the main portion of the page. The following icons may be displayed next to a call sign:

Pending Applications Icon The PA (Pending Application) icon indicates that the license has a ULS application(s) pending.

Termination Pending Icon The TP (Termination Pending) icon indicates that the license or a component(s) of the license is in termination pending status for failure to meet the buildout requirement.

Lease The L (Lease) icon indicates that the license has a Lease attached to that call sign. To view information about the lease, click on the call sign to view the license details and select the leases tab. If a lease record is displayed, no L icon will appear.

Click the call sign of a license or the lease identifier of the lease to access the detailed information for that record.
