Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

May 27, 2010.
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, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 3520. 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; (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, and (e) 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC 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 currently valid OMB control number.

    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. Records may include information 
about individuals or households, e.g., personally identifiable

governed by the requirements of a system of records notice or ``SORN'', 
FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless Services Licensing Records.'' There are no 
additional impacts under the Privacy Act.

materials or information submitted to the Commission be withheld from

    Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 
comment period in order to obtain the full three year clearance from 
them. There is no change to the Commission's estimated burden.
    The Commission is revising this information collection due to an 
increase in the filing fees associated with the FCC Form 601. The 
annual cost on the respondent has increased by $4,746,000. This cost 
was previously estimated at $50,664,000.
    The FCC Form 601 is a consolidated, multi-part application form, or 
``long form'', that is used for general market-based licensing and 
site-by-site licensing for wireless telecommunications and public 
safety services filed through the Commission's Universal Licensing 
System (ULS). FCC Form 601 is composed of a main form that contains the 
administrative information and a series of schedules used for filing 
technical and other information. Respondents are encourages to submit 
FCC Form 601 electronically and are required to do so when submitting 
FCC Form 601 to apply for an authorization for which the applicant is 
the winning bidder in a spectrum auction.
