    Estimated Time per Response: .5 hours-1.75 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and

during this comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from 
them. The Commission is reporting a 34,092 total annual hour decrease 
and a $2,775,798 annual cost decrease. This adjustment is due to a 
30,304 fewer responses since this was last submitted to OMB in 2008. 
The revision for which the Commission is seeking OMB approval is due to 
minor changes to the wording of FCC Form 603 data elements, adding a 
question inquiring if filing is the lead application on the Main Form, 
and changing the wording in the instructions. The FCC uses the 
information in FCC Form 603 to determine whether the applicant is 
legally, technically, and financially qualified to obtain a license. 
Without such information, the Commission cannot determine whether to 
issue the licenses to the applicants that provide telecommunications 
services to the public, and therefore, to fulfill its statutory 
responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended. Information provided on this form will also be used to update 
the database and to provide for proper use of the frequency spectrum.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
