General Instructions

Purpose of Form

The purpose of FCC Form 602 is to collect ownership data pertaining to the filer for use by the FCC in determining whether the public interest would be served by a grant of the requested authorization. In doing so, the FCC uses FCC Form 602 to obtain information regarding the identity of the real party or parties in interest of the filer and to elicit additional information required by section 1.2112(a) of the Commission's Rules regarding: 1) persons or entities holding a 10% or greater direct or indirect ownership interest in the filer, see 47 C.F.R. § 1.2112(a)(1); 2) all limited partners whose interest in the filer is 10% or greater, see 47 C.F.R. § 1.2112(a)(2); 3) all general partners in any general partnership in the filer's chain of ownership, see 47 C.F.R. § 1.2112(a)(3); and 4) the members of any limited liability corporation whose interest in the filer is 10% or greater, see 47 C.F.R. § 1.2112(a)(4).

A "direct owner" is an individual or entity that holds an immediate interest in the filer. An "indirect owner" is an individual or entity that holds a 10% or greater interest in the filer as determined by successive multiplication as defined in section 1.2112(a)(5) through an intervening entity or entities in an ownership chain. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.2112(a)(5). For each direct and indirect owner, the filer must provide all FCC-regulated entities or applicants for an FCC license in which the direct or indirect owner has a 10% or greater direct or indirect ownership interest as determined by successive multiplication.

Example: In the following example Company A is the filer. Company A's stock is owned by two persons: Mary Smith owns 40% of the outstanding stock and Company B owns 60% of the outstanding stock. Each of these persons is a direct owner and a separate FCC Form 602, Schedule A would be filled out for each. Company B is in turn owned by John and Jane Doe, 50%, and by Mega Corporation, 50%. John and Jane Doe and Mega Corporation are indirect owners of the filer. An FCC Form 602, Schedule A would be separately filled out for John Doe, Jane Doe and Mega Corporation. Mega Corporation is in turn owned by Richard Mega, who holds 91% of the outstanding stock, as determined by successive multiplication, and Peter Smith, who holds 9% of the outstanding stock. Because Richard Mega indirectly owns more than 10% of Company A, information regarding Richard Mega would be provided on a FCC Form 602, Schedule A. However, because Peter Smith's indirect ownership share of Company A, when calculated using successive multiplication, is less than 10%, the filer would not be required to provide information regarding Peter Smith.

Information Current and Complete

During the pendency of the above mentioned applications, information contained in FCC Form 602 on file with the FCC must be kept current and complete. Pursuant to section 1.65 of the Commission’s Rules the applicant must notify the FCC regarding any substantial and significant changes in the information furnished in the FCC Form 602 or underlying application(s). See 47 C.F.R. § 1.65.

Applicable Rules and Regulations

Filers should obtain the relevant parts of the FCC's rules in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (47 CFR). Copies of 47 CFR may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, (202) 512-1800. Copies of 47 CFR may also be obtained, free of charge, from the Government Printing Office's Website at http://www.access.gpo.gov. Some FCC rules require applicants to attach one or more exhibits to an application in addition to the information requested in the application form.

Instructions for FCC Form 602, Schedule A

Disclosable Interest Holders in Filer (repeat for each disclosable interest holder)

Pursuant to section 1.2112 of the Commission’s Rules, these items provide required information about the real party or parties in interest and other disclosable interest holders in the filer. If the filer has multiple disclosable interest holders, FCC Form 602, Schedule A must be filled out separately for each disclosable interest holder.

Examples of disclosable interest holders include:

(1) Any party holding a 10% or greater interest in the filer, whether direct or indirect. An indirect ownership interest in the filer is established where successive multiplication of ownership percentages for each link in the vertical ownership chain equals 10% or more of the filer, except that if the ownership percentage for an interest in any link in the chain exceeds 50 percent or represents actual control, it shall be treated and reported as if it were a 100% interest.

(2) Any party holding 10% or more of any class of stock, warrants, options, or debt securities of the filer.

(3) Any party with a controlling interest in the filer as set forth in section 1.2110 of the Commission's Rules. The individual or entity with a controlling interest is an "affiliate”. An affiliate is defined by Section 1.2110(b)(5) of the Commission's Rules, which provides that an individual or entity is an affiliate of a filer or of a person holding an attributable interest in a filer if such individual or entity:

1. directly or indirectly controls or has the power to control the filer, or

2. is directly or indirectly controlled by the filer, or

(C) is directly or indirectly controlled by a third party or parties that also controls or has the power to control the filer, or

(D) has an "identity of interest" with the filer.

Section 1.2110(b)(5) states that every business concern is considered to have one or more parties who directly or indirectly control or have the power to control it. Control may be affirmative or negative and it is immaterial whether it is exercised so long as the power to control exists.

(4) In the case of a general partnership, each general partner, regardless of percentage of interest in the filer.

(5) In the case of a limited partnership, each limited partner whose direct or indirect interest in the filer is equal to or greater than 10% (as calculated according to the percentage or equity paid in and the percentage of distribution of profits and losses).

(6) In the case of a limited liability company, each member of the company, whose direct or indirect interest in the filer is equal to or greater than 10%.

For each disclosable interest holder, the following information must be provided:

Item 3 Enter the ten-digit FCC Registration Number (FRN) assigned by the Commission Registration System (CORES). The FRN is a unique entity identifier for everyone doing business with the Commission. The FRN can be obtained electronically through the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov (click FCC Registration Number (FRN) Commission Registration System (CORES)) or by manually submitting FCC Form 160. FCC Form 160 is available for downloading from http://www.fcc.gov/formpage.html or by calling 1-800-418-FORM (3676).

Item 4 Address of the interest holder.

Note: If the interest holder holds an indirect ownership interest in the filer, attach an exhibit explaining the ownership relationship from the indirect interest holder to the filer.

Example for Indirect Ownership Interest: In the example provided in the section “Purpose of Form”, John and Jane Doe would each provide an exhibit listing Company B, through which they hold their interest in Company A, the filer. Richard Mega would provide an exhibit first listing Company B and then Mega Corporation, through which he holds an interest in Company A, the filer. Mary Smith would not be required to provide an exhibit because she holds a direct ownership interest in Company A, the filer.

Select either Individual, Corporation, Unincorporated Association, Trust, Government Entity, Consortium, General Partnership, Limited Liability Company, Limited Liability Partnership, Limited Partnership, or Other.
