Full Comment Filing Instructions: 

Comments regarding the negative impact that proposed unlicensed devices will have on wireless microphones already operating in the TV broadcast band must be filed with the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") through the Electronic Comment Filing System ("ECFS"). ECFS can be accessed at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ecfs/. 

Step 1: Convert your comments into an Adobe PDF or MSWord document and save the document on your local drive.

Step 2: Access the ECFS website at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ecfs/ (please note that the website is optimized for Internet Explorer).

Step 3: On the right side of your browser's screen you should see several menus. The top menu is titled "ECFS Main Links." The second hyperlink under the "ECFS Main Links Menu" is titled "Submit a Filing." Please click on this hyperlink. 

Step 4: You should now see a webpage titled "Electronic Comment File Submission." This webpage contains tables that run down the center of the screen.

The first table is titled "Cover Sheet," and requires basic biographical information. *** In the "Cover Sheet" table under Item 1 "Proceeding" you must input the number 04-186. Your comments will not be entered properly if the number "04-186" is not input in the first field. Please proceed to input the remainder of your organization's biographical information in the required fields within this table

The second table is titled "Send Comment Files to FCC (Attachments)." This table enables you to upload your MSWord or PDF comments to the FCC. Within the table select the "browse" button to scan your local drive for your comments, and then identify what type of file you are uploading. When you have completed these two steps, hit the "Send Attached File to FCC" button immediately below the table.

Ignore the third table.

Step 5: You should now see a confirmation page asking if you want to complete the process. Please confirm that you want to upload your comments to the FCC. A final webpage that contains a confirmation number will now appear.
