opportunity to comment on the

following information collection(s), as

required by the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. An

agency may not conduct or sponsor a

collection of information unless it

displays a currently valid control

number. No person shall be subject to

any penalty for failing to comply with

a collection of information subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that

does not display a valid control number.

Comments are requested concerning: (a)

Whether the proposed collection of

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; and (d) ways to

minimize the burden of the collection of

information on the respondents,

including the use of automated

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval Number: 3060–XXXX.

Title: Long Form Application for

Authorization in the Auctionable

Services.

Form Number: FCC Form 601.

Type of Review: New collection.

Respondents: Individuals or

households; business or other for-profit;

not-for-profit institutions; state, local or

tribal government.

Number of Respondents: 43,719.

Estimated Time Per Response: 2

hours.

Cost to Respondents: $23,224,619.

Total Annual Burden: 21,860 hours.

Needs and Uses: FCC Form 601 is a

general application form for use by

winners of FCC auctions and will be

used as part of the Universal Licensing

System. FCC Form 601 consists of a

main form and a series of schedules

containing technical information.

Auction winning respondents will be

required to submit FCC Form 601

electronically. There are no application

fees, electronic filing fees or frequency

coordination costs associated with filing

this form.

OMB Approval Number: 3060–XXXX.

Title: Ownership Form.

Form Number: FCC Form 602.

Type of Review: New collection.

Respondents: Individuals or

households; business or other for-profit;

not-for-profit institutions; state, local or

tribal government.

Number of Respondents: 10,000.

Estimated Time Per Response: 2

hours.

Cost to Respondents: $4,656,750.

Total Annual Burden: 5,000 hours.

Needs and Uses: FCC Form 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
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 200 / Friday, October 17, 1997 / Notices 54111

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 Form 602 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/

methods of collecting ownership

information. FCC Form 602 is a new

collection that eliminates lengthy

ownership information being filed each

time an applicant files. It will be a onetime annual filing of information for

only the lone real party of interest that

controls the license(s).

OMB Approval Number: 3060–XXXX.

Title: Application for Assignment of

Authorization for Auctionable Services.

Form Number: FCC Form 603.

Type of Review: New collection.

Respondents: Individuals or

households; business or other for-profit;

not-for-profit institutions; state, local or

tribal government.

Number of Respondents: 2,000.

Estimated Time Per Response: 4

hours.

Cost to Respondents: $1,952,450.

Total Annual Burden: 1,000 hours.

Needs and Uses: FCC Form 603 will

be used to file for Assignment of

Authorization. It will consist of a main

form and a section to detail the call

signs. While the Commission is

currently seeking approval for use of the

form for only auctionable service

purposes, the Commission also

anticipates continued use of FCC Form

603 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/methods of collecting assignment

of authorization information. This

assignment form is a consolidated form

and will be utilized as part of the

Universal Licensing System (ULS)

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, free-form attachment, and

free-form letter requests. A consolidated

assignment 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 on its own form or

schedule.

OMB Approval Number: 3060–XXXX.

Title: Application for Transfer of

Control for Auctionable Services.

Form Number: FCC Form 604.

Type of Review: New collection.

Respondents: Individuals or

households; business or other for-profit;

not-for-profit institutions; state, local or

tribal government.

Number of Respondents: 1,500.

Estimated Time Per Response: 3

hours.

Cost to Respondents: $1,164,338.

Total Annual Burden: 750 hours.

Needs and Uses: FCC Form 604 will

be used to file for Transfer of Control for

auctionable services. It will consist of a

main form and a section to detail the

transferred call signs. The form will

only be filed by the licensee (transferor)

on behalf of the transferor and the

transferee. This transfer of control form

is a consolidated form and will be

utilized as part of the Universal

Licensing System currently under

development. Auctionable services

respondents will be required to submit

FCC Form 604 electronically. There are

no application fees or electronic filing

fees associated with filing of this form.
