following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501--3520. An agency may not

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 May 30, 2008. If you anticipate that you will be 
submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0795.
    Title: Associate WTB and/or PSHSB Call Signs and Antenna Structure 
Registration Numbers with Licensee's FRN.
    Form No.: FCC Form 606.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents: 429,000 respondents; 429,000 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 429,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No sensitive information is 
requested. As noted in paragraph one of the supporting statement (OMB 
document required for submission and approval of information 
collections), this information collection may affect individuals or 
households. Any personally identifiable information that is submitted 
to the Commission is covered by a System of Records Notice (SORN), WTB-
1 ``Wireless Services Licensing Records.''
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection (IC) to the OMB as an extension (no change in the reporting 
or third party disclosure requirements) during this comment period to 
obtain the full three-year clearance from them. There is no change in 
the estimated burden hours.
    FCC Form 606 is used to associate a licensee's FCC Registration 
Number (FRN) to licensee's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and/or 
Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau call signs and antenna 
registration numbers with the FCC and filed through the Commission's 
Universal Licensing System (ULS).
    The FCC previously adopted a rule requiring a mandatory FCC 
Registration Number (FRN). This requirement became effective 12/03/01, 
for all parties and entities doing business with the Commission who 
file applications with ULS or register towers via Antenna Structure 
Registration (ASR). As a result of the Commission Registration Number 
(CORES) and the implementation of the FRN, several important changes 
occurred for filers of ULS and ASR. This requirement was to facilitate 
compliance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA).
    The information collected in the application will be used to 
populate the Universal Licensing System (ULS) for licensees and antenna 
structure registration owners who interact with ULS. This information 
will also be used to match records in the ULS database to the 
Collection System records to validate payment for application and Debt 
Collection Act purposes.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
