Total Annual Burden: 222,055 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $71,306,250. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

In general there is no need for 

confidentiality with this collection of 

information. 

Needs and Uses: FCC Form 601 is a 

consolidated, multi-part application 

form that is used for market-based and 

site-based licensing for wireless 

telecommunications services, including 

public safety licenses, which are filed 

through the Commission’s Universal 

Licensing System (ULS). FCC Form 601 

is composed of a main form that 

contains administrative information and 

a series of schedules used for filing 

technical and other information. This 

form is used to apply for a new license, 

to amend or withdraw a pending 

application, to modify or renew an 

existing license, cancel a license, 

request 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 or Developmental License. 

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 FCC Form 601 includes 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 entities filing with the 

Commission use an FRN. 

On November 7, 2014, the Federal 

Communications Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) released a Report and 

Order and Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (FCC 14–181) in WT Docket 

No. 12–40 to reform its rules governing 

the 800 MHz Cellular Radiotelephone 

(Cellular) Service. Subsequently, on 

March 24, 2017, the Commission 

released a Second Report and Order 

(FCC 17–27) in that same proceeding, 

revising certain technical and licensing 

rules applicable to the Cellular Service 

(Cellular Second R&O). In addition to 

rule revisions that do not affect this 

information collection, in the Cellular 

Second R&O, the Commission adopted 

revised radiated power rules, giving 

Cellular licensees the option to comply 

with effective radiated power limits 

based on power spectral density (PSD), 

and it made conforming changes to 

related technical provisions to 

accommodate PSD. The Commission 

retained, as an option, the existing 

radiated power limits (non-PSD) and 

related technical requirements for 

Cellular licensees that either cannot or 

choose not to use a PSD model. The 

Commission also revised the definition 

and filing requirements for permanent 

discontinuance of operations, consistent 

with transitioning the Cellular Service 

from a site-based regime to one that is 

geographic-based. 

The Commission now seeks approval 

for revisions to its currently approved 

collection of information under OMB 

Control Number 3060–0798 to permit 

the collection of PSD-related technical 

information (in lieu of certain non-PSD 

technical information) for Cellular 

Service licensees that opt to use a PSD 

model for their systems, pursuant to the 

Cellular Second R&O. We are revising 

Schedule F of Form 601 accordingly to 

allow licensees to request modifications 

to their licenses based on PSD 

operations. We do not anticipate that 

this revision will have any impact on 

the burden to complete the form/

Schedule F. 

The Commission therefore seeks 

approval for a revision to its currently 

approved information collection on FCC 

Form 601 to revise FCC Form 601 

accordingly. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0508. 

Title: Parts 1 and 22 Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Requirements. 

Form Number: Not applicable. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, Individuals or 

households, and State, Local or Tribal 

Governments. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 15,465 respondents; 16,183 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.017 

hours–10 hours. 

Frequency of Response: 

Recordkeeping requirement; On 

occasion, quarterly, and semi-annual 

reporting requirements. 

Obligation To Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection is contained 

in 47 U.S.C. 154, 222, 303, 309 and 332. 

Total Annual Burden: 4,406 hours. 

Annual Cost Burden: $19,138,350. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. The 

information to be collected will be made 

available for public inspection. 

Applicants may request materials or 

information submitted to the 

Commission be given confidential 

treatment under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: Part 22 contains the 

technical and legal requirements for 

radio stations operating in the Public 

Mobile Services. The information 

collected is used to determine on a caseby-case basis, whether or not to grant 

licenses authorizing construction and 

operation of wireless 

telecommunications facilities to 

common carriers. Further, this 

information is used to develop statistics 

about the demand for various wireless 

licenses and/or the licensing process 

itself, and occasionally for rule 

enforcement purposes. 

This revised information collection 

reflects changes in rules applicable to 

Part 22 800 MHz Cellular 

Radiotelephone (‘‘Cellular’’) Service 

licensees and applicants, as adopted by 

the Commission in a Second Report and 

Order in WT Docket No. 12–40 and a 

companion Report and Order in WT 

Docket No. 10–112 concerning the 

Wireless Radio Services (WRS), which 

include the Cellular Service among 

others (WRS R&O) (FCC 17–27). The 

Cellular Second R&O and WRS R&O 

revised or eliminated certain licensing 

rules and modernized outdated 

technical rules applicable to the Cellular 

Service. Specifically, in addition to rule 

revisions that do not affect this 

information collection, in the Cellular 

Second R&O, the Commission revised 

the Cellular radiated power rules, giving 

licensees the option to comply with 

effective radiated power limits based on 

power spectral density (PSD), and 

giving licensees the additional option to 

operate at PSD limits above a specified 

threshold (Higher PSD Limits) so long as 

certain conditions are met. One of these 

conditions, set forth in a new provision 

of the Cellular rules, is a requirement for 

written advance notification to public 

safety entities within a specified radius 

of the cell sites to be deployed at the 

Higher PSD Limits. This third-party 

disclosure requirement is an important 

component of the Commission’s 

approach to protecting public safety 

entities from increased potential for 

unacceptable interference to their 

communications. Also in the Cellular 

Second R&O and of relevance to this 

information collection, the Commission 

eliminated the requirement for filings 

for certain changes to cell sites in a 

Cellular system. In the WRS R&O, the 

Commission deleted the Part 22 Cellular 

comparative hearing/license renewal 

rules, resulting in discontinued 

information collections for the following 

rule sections: 22.935, 22.936, 22.939, 

and 22.940. 

The Commission is now seeking 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for a revision of 

this information collection.
