collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information 
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit

    Total Annual Burden: 7,378 hours.

    Needs and Uses: The Commission's rules require that broadcast 
auction participants submit exhibits disclosing ownership, bidding 
agreements, bidding credit eligibility and engineering data. This data 
is used by Commission staff to ensure that applicants are qualified to 
participate in Commission auctions and to ensure that license winners 
are entitled to receive the new entrant bidding credit, if applicable. 
Exhibits regarding joint bidding agreements are designed to prevent 
collusion. Submission of engineering exhibits for non-table services 
enables the Commission to determine which applications are mutually 
exclusive.

Federal Communications Commission.
