SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communication Commission (FCC or Commission) 
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this 
opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 
Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
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 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 OMB control number. No person 
shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection 
of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB 
control number.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before April 17, 
2014. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find

requesting OMB approval for the revisions to the form and schedules.

Commercial Operator licensees however this information will be redacted

    The FCC uses the information in FCC Form 605 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 
telecommunication 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 as well as enforcement purposes.
