•	To make changes to a pending application at any time before the filing deadline, December 23, 1997, perform the preceding Steps 1 through 5. When the screen listing pending applications appears, find the entry for the application you want and click that entry. The pending application appears, and you can change it and then submit the updated version.

•	To make changes to a pending application after the filing deadline, December 23, 1997, perform the preceding Steps 1 through 6.

Important: Note that FCC rules contain limitations on filing of major amendments after the December 23, 1997, filing deadline that may affect the applicant's legal rights. Acceptance of an amendment by the electronic filing system does not indicate that the amendment is allowed under the rules. Applicants are advised to consult FCC rules in the this regard prior to filing of any amendments.
