SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    The Commission is requesting emergency OMB processing of these 
information collections and has requested OMB approval by July 3, 2006.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Interim Procedures for Filing Applications Seeking Approval 
for Designated Entity Reportable Eligibility Events and Annual Reports.
    Form Nos.: FCC Forms 609-T and 611-T.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, state, local and tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 1,000 respondents; 2,500 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .50-6 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and annual reporting 
requirements.
    Total Annual Burden: 6,625 hours.

    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking emergency processing of 
these information collections by July 3, 2006.
    On April 25, 2006, the Commission adopted and released a Second 
Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in 
FCC 06-52, WT Docket No. 05-211 which modified the Commission's rules 
regarding the collection of information regarding eligibility for 
designated entity benefits pursuant to 47 CFR sections 1.2110(n) and 
1.2114. The Second Report and Order specifically required licensees 
that have designated entity benefits to: (1) submit annual report to 
the Commission on new FCC Form 611-T; and (2) report certain agreements 
and arrangements entered into by the designated entity licensee, called 
``reportable eligibility events'' that may affect a licensee's 
eligibility for designated entity benefits and are reported on new FCC 
Form 609-T.
    On June 2, 2006, the Commission, on its own motion, released an 
Order on Reconsideration of the Second Report and Order in FCC 06-78, 
WT Docket No. 05-211 which reconsidered and re-clarified its newly-
adopted rules, including those resulting in the information collections 
that are subject of this emergency request. A copy of the entire OMB 
submission may be found under the ADDRESSES section of this Federal 
Register. Please look for the title of this collection in our PRA 
website because it has not been assigned an OMB Control Number yet.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0799.
    Title: FCC Ownership Disclosure Information for the Wireless 
Telecommunications Services.
    Form No.: FCC Forms 602.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, state, local and tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 500 respondents; 5,065 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .50-3 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 5,065 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $478,200.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking emergency processing of 
these information collections by July 3, 2006.
    On April 25, 2006, the Commission adopted and released a Second 
Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in 
FCC 06-52, WT Docket No. 05-211. This rulemaking will become effective 
thirty days after publication in the Federal Register. The Commission 
is now revising FCC Form 602 instructions to require that designated 
entities have updated and complete FCC Form 602's on file with the 
Commission whenever a designated entity files an application for 
approval of a reportable eligibility event. All designated entities are 
required to have an FCC Form 602 on file, so a designated entity 
applying for approval of a reportable eligibility event will have to 
check its Form 602 to ensure that it is complete and, if it is not 
complete, file an updated version. This emergency request is to 
implement interim procedures to allow the Commission to collect 
information regarding the ownership of a designated entity when an 
application is filed seeking approval of a reportable eligibility event 
will not change the questions on the Form or the substance of the 
information collected in any way. We note that, if the information on 
the designated entity's FCC Form 602 is complete and accurate when an 
application seeking approval for a reportable eligibility event is 
filed, the designated entity will not have to file a new or updated FCC 
Form 602. A copy of the entire OMB submission may be found under the 
ADDRESSES section of this Federal Register. Please look for the OMB 
control number (3060-0799) in our PRA Web site.
