FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for 
Review to the Office of Management and Budget

October 31, 2006.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not 
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid control number. 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. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the 
proposed 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.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before December 8, 2006. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within 
the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Allison E. Zaleski, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10236 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0799.
    Title: FCC Ownership Disclosure Information for the Wireless 
Telecommunications Services.
    Form No.: FCC Form 602.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions; and state, local or tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents: 500 respondents; 5,065 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1.50 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 will submit this information 
collection to OMB as an extension (no change in reporting or third 
party requirements) in order to obtain the full three-year clearance 
from them. There is no change to the estimated average burden, costs, 
or the number of respondents.
    The purpose for the FCC Form 602 is to obtain the identity of the 
filer and to elicit information required by 47 CFR 1.2112 of the 
Commission's rules regarding: (1) Persons or entities holding a 10 
percent or greater direct or indirect ownership interest or any general 
partners in a general partnership holding a direct or indirect 
ownership interest in the applicant (``Disclosable Interest Holders''); 
and (2) all FCC-regulated entities in which the filer or any of its 
Disclosable Interest Holders owns a 10 percent or greater interest. The 
data collected on the FCC Form 602 includes the FCC Registration Number 
(FRN) which serves as a ``common link'' for all filings an entity has 
with the Commission. The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 
requires that entities filing with the Commission use a FRN. Finally, 
the FCC Form 602 was designed for, and must be filed by, all licensees 
that hold licenses in auctionable services.
    Without such information, the Commission could not determine 
whether to issue licenses to applicants that provide telecommunications 
services to the public and fulfill its statutory responsibilities in 
accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
