    Title: Rewrite of Part 22.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 44,127 respondents; 44,127 responses.

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is a need for 
confidentiality with respect to amateur radio service filers. The 
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau instructs licensees to use the FCC's 
Universal Licensing System (ULS), Antenna Structure Registration (ASR), 
Commission Registration System (CORES) and related systems and 
subsystems to submit information. CORES is used to receive an FCC 
Registration Number (FRN) and password, after which one must register 
all current call signs and ASR numbers associated with a FRN within the 
Bureau's system of records (ULS database). Although ULS stores all 
information pertaining to the individual license via the FRN, 
confidential information is accessible only by persons or entities that 
hold the password for each account, and the Bureau's Licensing Division 
staff. Upon the request of a FRN, the individual licensee is consenting 
to make publicly available, via the ULS database, all information that 
is not confidential in nature.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this extension (no 
change in reporting requirements) to the OMB after this 60-day comment 
period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. There is no 
change in the hourly burden.
    Part 22 of the Commission's rules contain the technical and legal 
requirements for radio stations operating in the Public Mobile 
Services. The information collected is used to determine on a case-by-
case basis, whether or not to grant licenses authorizing construction 
and operation of wireless telecommunications facilities to common 
carriers. Further, this information is used to develop statistics about 
the demand for various wireless licenses and/or the licensing process 
itself, and occasionally for rule enforcement purposes.

Federal Communications Commission.
 Marlene H. Dortch,
 Secretary.
