FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Public Information Collection Approved by Office of Management 
and Budget

September 10, 1997.
    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
Pub. L. 96-511. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid control number. Not 
withstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall be subject to 
any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information 
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a 
valid control number. Questions concerning the OMB control numbers and 
expiration dates should be directed to Judy Boley, Federal 
Communications Commission, (202) 418-0214.

Federal Communications Commission

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0319.
    Expiration Date: 9/30/2000.
    Title: Application for Assignment of Authorization or Consent to 
Tansfer of Control of a Licensee.
    Form No.: 490.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 32,063 annual hour; average .5-3 hours per 
respondent; 28,500 respondents.
    Description: FCC Form 490 is filed to solicit Commission approval 
to assign a radio station authorization to another party or to transfer 
control of a licensee. The requested information is used by the 
Commission in carrying out its duties set forth in section 308, 298 and 
310 of the Communications Act. This collection is being revised to 
account for the changes proposed in the Fifth Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking, Use of the 220-222 MHz Band by the Private Land Mobile 
Radio Service, the Commission concluded that any holder of a Phase II 
EA, Regional or nationwide 220 MHz license will be permitted to 
partition portions of its authorization. In this collection the 
Commission also received generic approval from OMB to use this form in 
future disaggregation and partitioning for a variety of spectrum based 
services licensed by the Commission. Specific Rules will be adopted in 
Reports and Orders or by Public Notice for each service subject to 
disaggregation and partitioning.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0105.
    Expiration Date: 9/30/2000.
    Title: Licensee Qualification Report.
    Form No.: FCC 430.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 21,511 annual hours; .5-2 hours per 
respondent; 24,583 respondents.
    Description: FCC Form 430 enables the Commission to determine 
whether applicants are legally qualified to become or remain common 
carrier telecommunications licensees. Without this information, the 
Commission would be unable to fulfill its responsibilities under the 
Communications Act to make a finding as to the legal qualifications of 
an applicant or licensee. To reduce paperwork applicants may submit 
letters in lieu of completing the FCC 430 in those cases where there is 
no change to the required information. This collection is being revised 
to account for the changes proposed in the Fifth Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking, Use of the 220-222 MHz Band by the Private Land Mobile 
Radio Service, the Commission concluded that any holder of a Phase II 
EA, Regional or nationwide 220 MHz license will be permitted to 
partition portions of its authorization. In the Fifth Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking, Redesignation of 27.5 GHz Frequency Band, 
Establishing Rules and Policies for LMDS the Commission proposed that 
this form be used to complete the disaggregation and partitioning of 
LMDS. In this collection the Commission received generic approval from 
OMB to use this form in future disaggregation and partitioning for a 
variety of spectrum based services licensed by the Commission. Specific 
rules will be adopted in reports and orders or by public notice for 
each service subject to disaggregation and partitioning.
