(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance

minimize the burden of the collection of

information on the respondents,

including the use of automated

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Judy

Boley, Federal Communications

Commissions, Room 234, 1919 M St.,

retrieval numbers indicated in the

Supplementary Information Section for

each form. The forms are also available

internet from the FCC’s Internet forms

page at http://www.fcc.gov/

formpage.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval Number: 3060–XXXX.

Title: Long Form Application for

Authorization in the Actionable

Services.

Form No.: FCC 601.

Type of Review: New Collection.

Respondents: Individuals or

households; Business or other for-profit;

Not-for-profit institutions; Farms;

Federal Government; State, Local or

Tribal Government.

Number of Respondents: 43,719.

Estimated Time Per Response: 2

hours.

Total Annual Burden: 87,438 hours.

Needs and Uses: FCC 601 will be used

as the general application (long form) by

winners of FCC auctions, such as 800

MHz, 220 MHz, LMDS, Paging, IVDS

and 39 GHz. While the Commission is

currently seeking approval only for the

forementioned purpose, the

Commission also anticipates continued

use of FCC 601 for future auctions

(market-based licensing) yet to be

decided, as well as eventually

expanding the uses of the form to

replace other existing FCC forms

licensing various radio services (site-bysite licensing).

This long form application is a

consolidated application form and will

be utilized as part of the Universal

Licensing System currently under

development. The goal of producing a

consolidated form is to create a form

with a consistent ‘‘look and feel’’ that

maximizes the collection of data and

minimizes narrative responses, freeform attachment, and free-form letter

requests. A consolidated application

form will allow common fields,

questions, and statements to reside in

one place and allow the technical data

specific to each service to be captured

in its own form or schedule.

FCC 601 will consist of a Main Form

containing administrative information

and a series of Schedules used to file

technical information. Auction winning

respondents will be required to submit

FCC 601 electronically. There are no

application fees, electronic filing fees or

frequency coordination costs associated

with filing of this form by auction

winning respondents.

The data collected on this form

includes the applicant’s Taxpayer

Identification Number. Use of Taxpayer

Identification Number in the Universal

Licensing System will allow pre-filling

of data by searching the database and

displaying all pertinent data associated

to a given TIN, as well as for Debt

Collection purposes. It will also

improve and lessen the burden of the

volume of data the public would have

to enter for later filings.

Document Retrieval Number: 000601.

OMB Approval Number: 3060–XXXX.

Title: Ownership Form.

Form No.: FCC 602.

Type of Review: New Collection.

Respondents: Individuals or

households; Business or other for-profit;

Not-for-profit institutions; Farms;

Federal Government; State, Local or

Tribal Government.

Number of Respondents: 10,000.

Estimated Time Per Response: 2

hours.

Total Annual Burden: 20,000 hours.

Needs and Uses: FCC 602 will serve

as a cover sheet to the ownership

package and be used in addition to the

extensive ownership collection

information required by rule for each

radio service. It will be used in

conjunction with new applications,

Transfers of Control, Assignments of

Authorizations, and any other

ownership information updates required

by rule. While the Commission is

currently seeking approval only for the

forementioned purpose, the

Commission also anticipates continued

use of FCC 602 for future auctions

(market-based licensing) yet to be

decided, as well as eventually

expanding the uses of the form to
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 150 / Tuesday, August 5, 1997 / Notices 42125

replace other existing FCC forms/

methods of collecting ownership

information.

FCC 602 is a new collection that

eliminates lengthy ownership

information being filed each time an

annual filing of information for only the

lone real party of interest that controls

the license(s).

This ownership form is a consolidated

form and will be utilized as part of the

Universal Licensing System currently

under development. The goal of

producing a consolidated form is to

create a form with a consistent ‘‘look

responses, free-form attachment, and

free-form letter requests. A consolidated

ownership form will allow common

fields, questions, and statements to

reside in one place and allow the

technical data specific to each service to

be captured in its own form or schedule.

Auction winning respondents will be

required to submit FCC 602

electronically. There are no application

fees or electronic filing fees associated

with filing of this form by auction

winning respondents.

The data collected on this form

includes the applicant’s Taxpayer

Identification Number. Use of Taxpayer

Identification Number in the Universal

Licensing System will allow pre-filling

to a given TIN, as well as for Debt

Collection purposes. It will also

improve and lessen the burden of the

expanding the uses of the form to

replace other existing FCC forms/

methods of collecting transfer of control

information.

This transfer of control form is a
