requirement and recordkeeping 

requirement. 

Obligation To Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 

154(i), 155(c), 157, 201, 202, 208, 214, 

301, 302a, 303, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 

314, 316, 319, 324, 331, 332, 333, 336, 

534 and 535 of the Communications Act 

of 1934, as amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 221,780 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $55,140,000. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. On 

a case-by-case basis, the Commission 

may be required to withhold from 

disclosure certain information about the 

location, character, or ownership of a 

historic property, including traditional 

religious sites. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission is 

seeking OMB approval for a revision of 

this information collection in order to 

obtain the full three year approval from 

OMB. There is no change to the 

Commission’s previous burden 

estimates. 

FCC Form 601 is a consolidated, 

multi-part application form, or ‘‘long 

form’’, that is used for general marketbased licensing and site-by-site 

licensing for wireless 

telecommunications and public safety 

services filed through the Commission’s 

Universal Licensing System (ULS). FCC 

Form 601 is composed of a main form 

that contains the administrative 

information and a series of schedules 

used for filing technical and other 

information. Respondents are 

encouraged to submit FCC Form 601 

electronically and are required to do so 

when submitting FCC Form 601 to 

apply for an authorization for which the 

applicant was the winning bidder in a 

spectrum auction. 

The data collected on the FCC Form 

601 include the FCC Registration 

Number (FRN), which serves as a 

‘‘common link’’ for all filings an entity 

has with the FCC. The Debt Collection 

Improvement Act of 1996 requires those 

entities filing with the Commission to 

use a FRN. 

Additionally, the FCC Form 601 is 

used for auctionable services as they are 

implemented: FCC Form 601 is used to 

apply for a new authorization, or to 

amend a pending application for an 

authorization to operate a license 

wireless radio services. This includes 

Public Mobile Services, Personal 

Communications Services, General 

Wireless Communications Services, 

Private Land Mobile Radio Services, 

Broadcast Auxiliary Services, Fixed 

Microwave Services, Instructional 

Television Fixed Service (ITFS) and the 

Multipoint Distribution Service (MDS), 

Maritime Services (excluding ships), 

and Aviation Services (excluding 

aircraft). It may also be used to modify 

or renew an existing license, cancel a 

license, withdraw a pending 

application, obtain a duplicate license, 

submit required notifications, request an 

extension of time to satisfy construction 

requirements, or request an 

administrative update to an existing 

license (such as mailing address change, 

request a Special Temporary Authority 

(STA) or a Developmental License. 

The Commission is now seeking OMB 

approval for a revision of the FCC Form 

601, Schedules D, I and M to allow 

respondents the option to provide a 

pending File Number for an Antenna 

Structure Registration (ASR). Previously 

ULS would only accept a granted ASR 

registration number. This change is 

being made to allow applicants to file a 

FCC Form 601 application while the 

ASR application is going through the 

new environmental notice process as 

required by the Migratory Bird Order on 

Remand, WTB Docket Nos. 08–61 and 

03–187. The entries for structure type 

are changing as a result of the Order as 

well. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0645. 

Title: Sections 17.4, 17.48 and 17.49, 

Antenna Structure Registration 

Requirements. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions 

and state, local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 2,500 

respondents; 268,700 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .1–.25 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement, recordkeeping 

requirement and third party disclosure 

requirement. 

Obligation To Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154 and 303. 

Total Annual Burden: 29,155 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $53,000. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. 

However, respondents may request 

materials or information submitted to 

the Commission be withheld from 

public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission is 

seeking OMB approval for an extension 

of this information collection in order to 

obtain the full three year approval. The 

Commission has adjusted its burden and 

cost estimates in order to update the 

collection burdens necessary to 

implement a uniform registration 

process as well as safe and effective 

lighting procedures for owners of 

antenna structures. 

Section 17.4 requires the owner of any 

proposed or existing antenna structure 

that requires notice of proposed 

construction to the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) to register the 

structure with the Commission. Section 

17.4 also requires antenna structure 

owners to provide their tenants with 

copies of the antenna structure 

registration. This includes those 

structures used as part of the stations 

licensed by the Commission for the 

transmission of radio energy, or to be 

used as part of a cable television headend system. If a Federal Government 

antenna structure is to be used by a 

Commission licensee, the structure must 

be registered with the Commission. A 

registration number is issued to identify 

antenna structure owners in order to 

enforce the Congressionally-mandated 

provisions related to the owners. 

Sections 17.48 and 17.49 contain 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements. Section 17.48 requires the 

notification of the FAA of any 

extinguishment or improper functioning 

of antenna structure lighting, and 

§ 17.49 requires the recording of 

antenna structure light inspections in 

the owner’s record. 

The information collected is used by 

the Commission during investigations 

related to air safety and if the 

information were not collected, the 

Commission would not be able to 

adequately conduct these investigations. 

The information is also used to protect 

air safety by ensuring that pilots are 

adequately informed of lighting outages.
