SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collections pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of

    Estimated Annual Burden: 560 responses; 765 total annual burden 
hours; 1.5 hours average per respondent.
    Needs and Uses: The collection of information needed to implement 
the Commission's modified designated entity eligibility rules is 
essential to the Commission's mission. This information collection 
enables the Commission to ensure that only legitimate small businesses 
reap the benefits of the Commission's designated entity program. The 
information collected will be used by the Commission to determine if 
the applicant is legally, technically, and financially qualified to 
participate in an FCC auction. In addition, if the applicant applies 
for status as a particular type of auction participant pursuant to the 
Commission's rules, the Commission will use the information to 
determine if the applicant is eligible for the status requested. The 
Commission's auction rules and requirements are designed to ensure that 
the competitive bidding process is limited to serious qualified 
applicants; to deter possible abuse of the bidding and licensing 
process; and to enhance the use of competitive bidding to assign 
Commission licenses in furtherance of the public interest.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
