Service.

    Needs and Uses: FCC Form 430 is filed by new applicants or annually 
by licensees if substantial changes occur in the organizational 
structure to provide information concerning corporate structure, alien 
ownership, and character of applicant or licensee. FCC Form 430 is also 
filed by applicants soliciting authority for assignment or transfer of 
control. The information is used by the Commission to determine whether 
the applicant is legally qualified to become or remain a licensee, as 
required by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Without such 
information, the Commission would be unable to fulfill its 
responsibility under the Communications Act to make a finding as to the 
legal qualifications of an applicant or licensee. The Commission is 
submitting this information collection to OMB as an extension (no 
change) to obtain the full year clearance.

default, the Commission retains the discretion to re-auction such 
licenses. Finally, licensees transferring licenses within three years 
are required to maintain a file of all documents and contracts 
pertaining to the transfer. Certification is required for entities 
dropping out of auction to secure certain ownership interests in 
participants.
