Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

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

    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this revised information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this

Commission's burden estimates.
    The Commission is revising this collection to request OMB approval 
of a certification and/or showing of compliance of narrowband 
equivalency as an attachment and correcting chief financial officers in 
Schedule B of the FCC Form 601.
    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 encouraged to submit 
the 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.
    The data collected on FCC Form 601 include the FCC Registration 
Number (FRN), which serves as a ``common link'' for all filings an 
entity has with the FCC. The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 
requires that those entities filing with the Commission use a FRN.
    FCC Form 601 is being used for auctionable services as they are 
implemented. FCC Form 601 is used to apply for a new authorization, or 
to amend a pending application for an authorization to operate a 
license wireless radio service. This include Public Mobile Services, 
Personal Communications Services, General Wireless Communications 
Services, Private Land Mobile Radio Services, Broadcast Auxiliary 
Services, Fixed Microwave Services, Instructional Television Fixed 
Service (ITFS), and the Multipoint Distribution Service (MDS), Maritime 
Services (excluding ships), and Aviation Services (excluding aircraft). 
It may also be used to modify or renew an existing license, cancel a 
license, withdraw a pending application, obtain a duplicate license, 
submit required notifications, request an extension of time to satisfy 
construction requirements, or request an administrative update to an 
existing license (such as mailing address change), request a Special 
Temporary Authority (STA) or a Developmental License.
