Sec. 0.401 Location of Commission offices.
The Commission maintains several offices and receipt locations. Applications
and other filings not submitted in accordance with the addresses or
locations set forth below will be returned to the applicant without
processing. When an application or other filing does not involve the payment
of a fee, the appropriate filing address or location is established
elsewhere in the rules for the various types of submissions made to the
Commission. The public should identify the correct filing location by
reference to these rules. Applications or submissions requiring fees must be
submitted in accordance with Sec. 0.401(b) of the rules irrespective of the
addresses that may be set out elsewhere in the rules for other submissions.
(a) General correspondence, as well as applications and filings not
requiring the fees set forth at part 1, subpart G of the rules (or not
claiming an exemption, waiver or deferral from the fee requirement), should
be delivered to one of the following locations.
(1) The main office of the Commission is located at 445 12th Street, SW.,

G of the rules must be delivered to the Commission's lockbox bank in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with the correct fee and completed Fee Form
attached to the application or filing, unless otherwise directed by the

rules establishing filing locations for submissions subject to a fee, this
subpart shall govern.
Note: Applicants seeking a waiver or deferral of fees must submit their
application or filing in accordance with the addresses set forth below.
Applicants claiming a statutory exemption from the fees should file their
applications in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section.
(1) Applications and filings submitted by mail shall be addressed to the
Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The bank maintains separate post
office boxes for the receipt of different types of applications. It will
also establish special post office boxes to receive responses to special
filings such as applications filed in response to “filing windows”
established by the Commission. The address for the submission of filings
will be established in the Public Notice announcing the filing dates. In all
other cases, applications and filings submitted by mail should be sent to
the addresses listed in the appropriate fee rules.
Note: Wireless Telecommunications Bureau applications that require frequency
coordination by certified coordinators must be submitted to the appropriate
certified frequency coordinator before filing with the Commission. After
coordination, the applications are filed with the Commission as set forth
herein. (See Sec. Sec. 90.127 and 90.175 of this chapter.)
(2) Applications and other filings may also be hand carried, in person or by
courier, to the Mellon Bank, Three Mellon Bank Center, 525 William Penn Way,
27th Floor, room 153–2713, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. All applications and
filings delivered in this manner must be in an envelope clearly marked for
the “Federal Communications Commission,” addressed to the attention of
“Wholesale Lockbox Shift Supervisor,” and identified with the appropriate
Post Office Box address as set out in the fee schedule ( Sec. Sec. 1.1102–1.1107).
Applications should be enclosed in a separate envelope for each Post Office
Box. Hand-carried or couriered applications and filings may be delivered at
any time on any day. Applications or filings received by the bank before
midnight on any Commission business day will be treated as having been filed
on that day. Materials received by the bank after midnight, Monday through
Friday, or on weekends or holidays, will be treated as having been filed on
the next Commission business day.
(3) Alternatively, applications and other filings may be sent electronically
via the Universal Licensing System (ULS) or the Cable Operations and
Licensing System (COALS) as appropriate for use of those systems.
