Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for 
Review and Approval to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB),

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. Comments are

information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways 
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of

    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.

profit, not-for-profit institutions and state, local or tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents: 2,447 respondents; 2,447 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .5 hours-1.75 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 4(i), 154(i), 
303(r) and 309(j).
    Total Annual Burden: 36,846 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $335,497.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. Records many include 
information about individuals or households, e.g., personally 
identifiable information or PII, and the use(s) and disclosure of this 
information are governed by the requirements of a system of records 
notice or ``SORN'', FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless Services Licensing Records.'' 
There are no additional impacts under the Privacy Act.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Respondents may request

during this comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from 
them. The Commission is reporting a 34,092 total annual hour decrease 
and a $2,775,798 annual cost decrease. This adjustment is due to a 
30,304 fewer responses since this was last submitted to OMB in 2008. 
The revision for which the Commission is seeking OMB approval is due to 
minor changes to the wording of FCC Form 603 data elements, adding a 
question inquiring if filing is the lead application on the Main Form, 
and changing the wording in the instructions. The FCC uses the 
information in FCC Form 603 to determine whether the applicant is 
legally, technically, and financially qualified to obtain a license. 
Without such information, the Commission cannot determine whether to 
issue the licenses to the applicants that provide telecommunications 
services to the public, and therefore, to fulfill its statutory 
responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended. Information provided on this form will also be used to update 
the database and to provide for proper use of the frequency spectrum.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
