Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. 

This information collection does 

contain personally identifiable 

information (PII) on individuals. The 

FCC maintains a system of records 

notice (SORN), FCC/WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless 

Services Licensing Records,’’ that covers 

the collection, purpose(s), storage, 

safeguards, and disposal of the PII that 

individual private land mobile radio 

licensees maintain under 47 CFR 

90.129. 

Needs and Uses: This collection will 

be submitted as an extension (no change 

in reporting requirements) after this 60 

day comment period to Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) in order 

to obtain the full three year clearance. 

Section 90.129 requires that 

applicants proposing to use transmitting 

equipment that is not type-certified by 

FCC laboratory personnel to provide a 

description of the proposed equipment. 

This assures that the equipment is 

capable of performing within certain 

tolerances that limit the interference 

potential of the device. 

Additionally, this rule section 

requires that each application under this 

part that is received by the Commission, 

through the application process 

outlined in 47 CFR part 1, subpart F, 

must be accompanied by the applicable 

supplementary information described in 

the paragraphs in 47 CFR 90.129. The 

information is used by FCC engineers to 

determine the interference potential of 

the proposed equipment. 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0770.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:

respondents submit confidential 

information to the FCC. However, 

respondents who wish to request 

confidential treatment of the 

information they believe to be 

confidential, may do so under 47 CFR 

0.459 of the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: This collection will 

be submitted as an extension (no change 

in reporting requirements) after this 60 

day comment period to Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) in order 

to obtain the full three year clearance. 

In the Fifth Report and Order in FCC 

99–206, the Commission permitted 

price cap local exchange carriers (LECs) 

to introduce new services on a 

streamlined basis, without prior 

approval. The Commission adopted 

rules to eliminate the public interest 

showing required by section 69.4(g) and 

eliminated the new services test (except 

in the case of loop-based new services) 

required under sections 69.49(f) and (g). 

These modifications eliminated delays 

that existed for the introduction of new 

services as well as encouraging efficient 

investment and innovation. 

The information is used by the 

Commission to determine whether this 

is in the public interest for the 

incumbent LEC to offer a proposed new 

switched access service.

Needs and Uses: This collection will

day comment period to Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) in order 

to obtain the full three year clearance. 

A Report and Order, FCC 02–78, 

adopted and released in March 2002 

(Order), set forth the procedures for 

common carriers requiring authorization 

under section 214 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, to acquire domestic interstate 

transmission lines through a transfer of 

control. Under section 214 of the Act, 

carriers must obtain FCC approval 

before constructing, acquiring, or 

operating an interstate transmission 

line. Acquisitions involving interstate 

common carriers require affirmative 

action by the Commission before the 

acquisition can occur. 

This information collection contains 

filing procedures for domestic transfer 

of control applications under sections 

63.03 and 63.04. 

(a) Section 63.03 and 63.04 requires 

domestic section 214 applications 

involving domestic transfers of control, 

at a minimum, should specify: (1) The 

name, address and telephone number of 

each applicant; (2) the government, 

state, or territory under the laws of 

which each corporate or partnership 

applicant is organized; (3) the name, 

title, post office address, and telephone 

number of the officer or contact point, 

such as legal counsel, to whom 

correspondence concerning the 

application is to be addressed; (4) the 

name, address, citizenship and 

principal business of any person or 

entity that directly or indirectly owns at 

least ten percent of the equity of the 

applicant, and the percentage of equity 

owned by each of those entities (to the 

nearest one percent); (5) certification 

pursuant to 47 CFR 1.2001 through 

1.2003 that no party to the application 

is subject to a denial of Federal benefits 

pursuant to section 5301 of the AntiDrug Abuse Act of 1988; (6) a 

description of the transaction; (7) a 

description of the geographic areas in 

which the transferor and transferee (and 

their affiliates) offer domestic 

telecommunications services, and what 

services are provided in each area; (8) a 

statement as to how the application fits 

into one or more of the presumptive 

streamlined categories in section 63.03 

or why it is otherwise appropriate for 

streamlined treatment; (9) identification 

of all other Commission applications 

related to the same transaction; (10) a 

statement of whether the applicants are 

requesting special consideration 

because either party to the transaction is 

facing imminent business failure; (11) 

identification of any separately filed 

waiver request being sought in 

conjunction with the transaction; and 

(12) a statement showing how grant of 

the application will serve the public 

interest, convenience, and necessity, 

including any additional information 

that may be necessary to show the effect 

of the proposed transaction on 

competition in domestic markets. Where 

an applicant wishes to file a joint 

international section 214 transfer of 

control application and domestic 

section 214 transfer of control 

application, the applicant must submit 

information that satisfies the 

requirements of 47 CFR section 63.18. In 

the attachment to the international 

application, the applicant must submit 

information described in 47 CFR section 

63.04(a)(6)–(a)(12). 

When the Commission, acting through 

the Wireline Competition Bureau, 

determines that applicants have 

submitted a complete application 

qualifying for streamlined treatment, it 

shall issue a public notice commencing 

a 30-day review period to consider 

whether the transaction serves the 

public interest, convenience and 

necessity. Parties will have 14 days to 

file any comments on the proposed 

transaction, and applicants will be given 

7 days to respond. 

(b) Applicants are not required to file 

post-consummation notices of pro forma 

transactions, except that a post 

transaction notice must be filed with the 

Commission within 30 days of a pro 

forma transfer to a bankruptcy trustee or 

a debtor-in-possession. The notification 

can be in the form of a letter (in 

duplicate to the Secretary, Federal 

Communications Commission). The 

letter or other form of notification must 

also contain the information listed in 

sections (a)(1) through (a)(4) of section 

63.04. A single letter may be filed for 

more than one such transfer of control. 

The information will be used by the 

Commission to ensure that applicants 

comply with the requirements of 47 

U.S.C. 214. 

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
