technical information. These schedules 

are required when applying for 

Auctioned Services, Partitioning and 

Disaggregation, Undefined Geographical 

Area Partitioning, and Notification of 

Consummation or Request for Extension 

of Time for Consummation. Applicants/ 

licensees in the Public Mobile Services, 

Personal Communications Services, 

Private Land Mobile Radio Services, 

Broadband Radio Service, Educational 

Broadband Service, Maritime Services 

(excluding Ship), and Aviation Services 

(excluding Aircraft) use FCC Form 603 

to apply for an assignment or transfer, 

to establish their parties’ basic eligibility 

and qualifications, to classify the filing, 

and/or to determine the nature of the 

proposed service. This form is also used 

to notify the FCC of consummated 

assignments and transfers of wireless 

licenses to which the Commission has 

previously consented or for which 

notification but not prior consent is 

required. Respondents are encouraged 

to submit FCC 603 electronically. 

The data collected on FCC 603 

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 required that 

those filing with the Commission to use 

an FRN, effective December 3, 2001. 

Records may include information 

about individuals or households, e.g., 

personally identifiable information or 

PII, and the use(s) and disclosure of this 

information are governed by the 

requirements of a system of records 

notice or ‘SORN’, FCC/WTB–1, 

‘‘Wireless Services Licensing Records.’’ 

There are no additional impacts under 

the Privacy Act. 

On August 3, 2017, the Commission 

released the WRS Reform Second Report 

and Order in which it consolidated the 

hodgepodge of service-specific 

geographic partitioning and spectrum 

disaggregation rules into a consolidated 

Part 1 rule, 1.950 (See Amendment of 

Parts 1, 22, 24, 27, 74, 80, 90, 95, and 

101 To Establish Uniform License 

Renewal, Discontinuance of Operation, 

and Geographic Partitioning and 

Spectrum Disaggregation Rules and 

Policies for Certain Wireless Radio 

Services, Second Report and Order and 

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

FCC 17–105, (WRS Reform Second 

Report and Order)). Of relevance to the 

information collection at issue here, the 

Commission required that when 

portions of geographic licenses are sold, 

both parties to the transaction have a 

clear construction obligation and 

penalty in the event of failure. 

Specifically, § 1.950(c) requires 

parties seeking approval for geographic 

partitioning, spectrum disaggregation, or 

a combination of both must apply for a 

partial assignment of authorization by 

filing FCC Form 603 pursuant to § 1.948 

of the Commission’s rules. Each request 

for geographic partitioning must include 

an attachment defining the perimeter of 

the partitioned area by geographic 

coordinates to the nearest second of 

latitude and longitude, based upon the 

1983 North American Datum (NAD83). 

Alternatively, applicants may specify an 

FCC-recognized service area (e.g., Basic 

Trading Area, Economic Area, Major 

Trading Area, Metropolitan Service 

Area, or Rural Service Area), county, or 

county equivalent, in which case, 

applicants need only list the specific 

FCC-recognized service area, county, or 

county equivalent names comprising the 

partitioned area. Additionally, 

applicants have the option to submit 

geographic data associated with 

applications to partition and/or 

disaggregate their license using a 

shapefile, KML or Geojson file format. 

In addition, § 1.950(d) requires 

applicants for geographic partitioning, 

spectrum disaggregation, or a 

combination of both, to include, if 

applicable, a certification with their 

partial assignment of authorization 

application stating which party will 

meet any incumbent relocation 

requirements, except as otherwise stated 

in service-specific rules. Further, 

§ 1.950(g) provides parties to geographic 

partitioning, spectrum disaggregation, or 

a combination of both, with two options 

to satisfy service-specific performance 

requirements (i.e., construction and 

operation requirements). Under the first 

option, each party may certify that it 

will individually satisfy any servicespecific requirements and, upon failure, 

must individually face any servicespecific performance penalties. Under 

the second option, both parties may 

agree to share responsibility for any 

service-specific requirements. Upon 

failure to meet their shared servicespecific performance requirements, both 

parties will be subject to any servicespecific penalties. 

The Commission seeks approval for 

revisions to its currently approved 

collection of information under OMB 

Control Number 3060–0800 to permit 

the collection of the additional 

information in connection with partial 

assignments of authorizations for 

geographic partitioning, spectrum 

disaggregation, or a combination of 

both, pursuant to the rules and 

information collection requirements 

adopted by the Commission in the WRS 

Reform Second Report and Order. We 

do not anticipate that these revisions 

will impact the collection filing burden.
