What action must be taken if the FCC correspondence is undelivered due to a wrong address?

  1. The operator must file a complaint

  2. Update the address and reapply

  3. Correct the address or risk revocation of the license

  4. Request a hearing with the FCC

The correct answer is: Correct the address or risk revocation of the license

When correspondence from the FCC is sent to an incorrect address and goes undelivered, it is essential for the license holder to correct the address to ensure proper communication with the FCC. Maintaining accurate contact information is crucial, as it allows the licensee to receive important updates, renewal notices, and other essential information related to their license. If the address is not updated, there is a risk of not receiving significant communications, which could lead to misunderstandings or non-compliance. In the worst case, failure to maintain correct contact information can result in the revocation of the license. This underscores the importance of keeping the FCC informed of any changes in address to avoid potential regulatory issues. The other actions, such as filing a complaint or requesting a hearing, do not directly address the need to correct the address and maintain communication with the FCC regarding licensing matters.
