SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval Number: 3060-0054.
    Title: Application for Exemption From Ship Station Requirements.
    Form No.: FCC 820.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit; Small businesses or 
organizations; Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 200.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour and 10 minutes (1.166).
    Total Annual Burden: 233 hours.
    Needs and Uses: FCC Rules require this collection of information 
when exemptions from radio provisions of statute, treaty or 
international agreement are requested. The data is used by examiners to 
determine the applicants qualifications for the requested exemption. 
The data collected is required by the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended; International Treaties and FCC Rules 47 CFR Parts 1.922, 80.19 
and 80.59.

OMB Approval Number: 3060-0105.
    Title: Licensee Qualification Report.
    Form No.: FCC 430.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit; Small businesses or 
organizations.
    Number of Respondents: 1,900.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 2 hour.
    Total Annual Burden: 3,800 hours.
    Needs and Uses: This collection of information enables Commission 
personnel to determine whether applicants are legally qualified to 
become or to remain common carrier telecommunications licensees. If the 
information is not collected, the Commission would be unable to fulfill 
its responsibility under the Communications Act to make a finding as 
the legal qualifications of an applicant or licensee. The data 
collected is required by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended; 
FCC Rules 

[[Page 62467]]
21.11(a), 22.11(a), 25.11(a), 25.114(c), 25.115(c), and 25.141(c). To 
reduce paperwork burden, applicants may submit letters in lieu of 
completing the FCC 430 in those cases in which there has been no change 
in any of the required information to satisfy the annual requirement.

OMB Approval Number: 3060-0541.
    Title: Transmittal Sheet for Phase 2 Cellular Applications for 
Unserved Areas.
    Form No.: FCC 464-A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit; Small businesses or 
organizations.
    Number of Respondents: 10,000.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 10 minutes (.166 hour).
    Total Annual Burden: 1,660 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The information collected will be used by the 
Commission to determine whether the applicant is qualified legally, 
technical, and financially to be licensed as a cellular operator. 
Without such information, the Commission could not determine whether to 
issue licenses to the applicants that provide telecommunication 
services to the public and therefore fulfill its statutory 
responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended. The transmittal sheet facilitates application intake and other 
processing functions. The applicant must certify on the form that the 
application is complete in every respect and contains all the 
information required by the Commission's cellular rules. The data 
collected is required by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended and 
Commission Rules 22.6(a)(2). The Form 464-A was previously filed in 
conjunction with FCC Form 401. FCC Form 401 is now obsolete and has 
been replaced by FCC Form 600. There is no change to the burden hours.

Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Secretary.
