SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–XXXX. 

Title: Section 76.41, Franchise 

Application Process. 

Form Number: Not applicable. 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Respondents: State, local or tribal 

government. 

Number of Respondents: 6,006. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 

hours–4 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 54,000 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature of Response: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits 

Confidentiality: No need for 

confidentiality required. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission has 

assessed the effects of the application 

filing requirements used to calculate the 

time frame in which a local franchising 

authority shall make a decision, and 

find that those requirements will benefit 

companies with fewer than 25 

employees by providing such 

companies with specific application 

requirements of a reasonable length. The 

new requirements serve to streamline 

the existing practice of franchise 

negotiation and review. Therefore, we 

believe that the new requirements will 

reduce burdens on companies with 

fewer than 25 employees. We anticipate 

this specificity will streamline this 

process for companies with fewer than 

25 employees, and that these 

requirements will not burden these 

companies.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

No need for confidentiality. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this collection as an 

extension (no change in reporting or 

recordkeeping requirements) to the 

OMB after this 60 day comment period 

to obtain the full three-year clearance 

from them. 

The Commission adopted bidding 

credits for use by winning bidders who 

pledge facilities and provide service to 

federally-recognized tribal areas that 

have a telephone service penetration 

rate at or below 70 percent. In setting 

out the bidding credit, the Commission 

noted that communities on tribal lands 

have had less access to 

telecommunications services than any 

other segment of the U.S. population. 

For information collection purposes, a 

winning bidder credit to serve a 

qualifying tribal and within a particular 

market must indicate on the long-form 

application (FCC Form 601) that it 

intends to serve a qualifying tribal land 

within that market; within 180 days 

after the filing deadline for the longform application, amend its long-form 

application to identify the tribal lands it 

intends to serve and attach a 

certification from the tribal government 

stating that: (1) The tribal government 

authorizes the winning bidder to site 

facilities and provide service on its 

tribal land; (2) the tribal area to be 

served by the winning bidder 

constitutes qualifying tribal land; (3) the 

tribal government has not and will not 

enter into an exclusive contract with the 

applicant precluding entry by other 

carriers, and will not unreasonably 

discriminate among wireless carriers 

seeking to provide on the qualifying 

tribal land; and (4) provide certification 

of the telephone penetration rates 

demonstrating that the tribal land has a 

penetration level at or below 70 percent. 

Also, each winning bidder must 

within 180 after the filing deadline for 

the FCC Form 601, certify by endorsing 

the Schedule B of the FCC Form 601, 

that it will comply with the build-out 

requirements and consult with the tribal 

government regarding the location of the 

facilities and deployment of service on 

the tribal land; within 15 days of the 

third anniversary of the initial grant of 

its license, file a notification (Schedule 

K of the FCC Form 601) that it has 

constructed and is operating a system 

capable of serving 75 percent of the 

population of the qualifying tribal land 

for which the credit was awarded; and 

repay within 30 days of the third 

anniversary of the initial grant of its 

license, the bidding credit amount in its 

entirety, plus interest, if it fails to 

provide the post-construction 

notification (Schedule K of the FCC 

Form 601) required by 47 CFR 

1.2110(f)(3)(vi). 

In addition, a winning bidder seeking 

a credit in excess of the amount 

calculated under the Commission’s 

bidding credit formula must: (1) Submit 

a waiver request demonstrating that the 

infrastructure costs exceed the amount 

of the standard bidding credit; and (2) 

include a certification by an 

independent auditor that the estimated 

costs are reasonable. A winning bidder 

receiving a higher credit must within 15 

days of the third anniversary of the 

initial license grant, file a certification 

that the credit amount was spent on 

infrastructure to provide wireless 

coverage to qualifying tribal lands, 

which also includes a final report 

prepared by an independent auditor 

verifying that the infrastructure costs are
