[[Page 40833]]

    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
during this comment period. There is no change to the reporting, 
recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure requirements. The 
Commission is reporting a 25,671 hour increase in the total annual 
burden. This increase adjustment is due to an adjustment in the number 
of responses by licensees who operate within the various service 
categories. The estimates were gathered from the Commission's Universal 
Licensing System (ULS) and the CORES databases.
    The purpose of this information collection is to streamline the set 
of rules which minimize filing requirements via the Universal Licensing 
System (ULS); to eliminate redundant and unnecessary submission 
requirements; and to assure ongoing collection of reliable licensing 
and ownership data. The recordkeeping and third party disclosure 
requirements, along with certifications which are made via the FCC Form 
601 are ways the Commission reduced the filing burdens on the industry. 
However, applicants must maintain records to document compliance with 
the requirements for which they provide certifications. In some 
instances third party coordination is required.
