Federal Communications Commission

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0604.
    Title: Implementation of Section 309(j) of the Communications Act--
Competitive Bidding, Third Report and Order and Third Memorandum 
Opinion and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, PP Docket 
No. 93-253 (47 CFR Part 24).
    FCC Forms: FCC 401, 489, 490, 405, 430, 854.

    Estimated Annual Burden: 45,654 total hours; .50-20 hours per

    Description: In the Third Memorandum Opinion and Order and Further 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Third MO&O), the Commission clarified, 
modified and supplemented the original rules governing the auction of 
narrowband PCS licenses. For example, the Commission has modified its 
original definition of small business to include larger concerns, and 
has codified principles for attributing the interests of various 
affiliates of the applicant to that applicant. The Commission also has 
modified the various preferential measures that are available to 
certain entities designated by Congress, such as increasing the 
available bidding credits to 40% from 25% in some cases. In order to 
better ensure that applicants claiming these preferences are entitled 
to them and to aid the Commission's enforcement efforts, winning 
bidders are now required to supply additional information on the 
ownership of the applicant. The Commission has also relaxed its rules 
pertaining to amendment of FCC Form 175, now permitting applicants to 
amend their FCC Form 175 applications to reflect ownership changes that 
do not result in a change in control of the applicant.

assignment of radio station construction authorization or license under 
47 C.F.R. parts 21, 23 and 25. The form is reviewed by Commission staff 
to determine the financial, legal and technical qualifications of the 
applicant. The form is being revised to display the 08/31/97 expiration 
date and to incorporate the certification required by 47 C.F.R. part 1,

respondents.
    Description: Title III of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended governs the licensing of all communications services which 
operate through the use of radio frequencies. Part 22 of the FCC Rules

stations. Generally, information collections contained in Part 22 are

legally, technically, and/or financially to be licensed or to remain a 
licensee.

FNPRM contained several new and modified requirements including, a 
proposal to require licensees notifying the Commission of minor 
modifications to their systems on FCC Form 489, which include Service 
Area Boundary (SAB) extensions into the adjacent market, to specify 
whether the 5 year fill-in period for the market has expired and, if 
so, to state that the SAB extension does not cover any unserved area; a 
proposal to revise the scale of the maps required to be filed by the
