Abstract: This information that applicants (entities) submit on FCC Form 161 is used to change or update information in the CORES system for entity's name, address, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), telephone number, email, fax, contact representative address, telephone number, email and fax. The Commission Registration System (CORES) assigns each entity doing business with the Commission a FCC Registration Number (FRN). The FRN is used to collect and to report any delinquent amounts arising from such applicant's (entity's) relationship with the FCC. The repondents are anyone doing business with the FCC. This form now includes a "certification statement" and a "signature line."
