CORES. You will be assigned a FCC Registration Number
(FRN) when you register. This unique FRN will be used to
identify your business dealings the FCC. Instructions for
using CORES can be found on the CORES home page at

ASR
Antenna Structure Registration: The Antenna Structure
Registration Program is the process under which each
antenna structure that requires FAA notification --
including new and existing structures - must be registered
with the FCC by its owner. Note that because the Antenna
Structure Registration requirements only apply to those
antenna structures that may create a hazard to air
navigation (either by their height or proximity to an
airport), the registration files do not contain a
comprehensive record of all antenna structures.]
Instructions for using ASR can be found on the home page
at
http://wireless.fcc.gov/antenna/.
