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.

invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this 
opportunity to comment on the following information collections.

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

by or on behalf of applicants to construct new antenna support 
structures by or for the use of licensees of the FCC. The form is to be 
submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office (``SHPO'') or to 
the Tribal Historic Preservation Office (``THPO''), as appropriate, and 
the Commission before any construction or other installation activities 
on the site begins. Failure to provide the form and complete the review 
process under Section 106 of the NHPA prior to beginning construction 
may violate Section 110(k) of the NHPA and the Commission's rules.
    FCC Form 621, Collocation (CO) Submission Packet is to be completed 
by or on behalf of applicants who wish to collocate an antenna or 
antennas on an existing communications tower or non-tower structure by 
or for the use of licensees of the FCC. The form is to be submitted to 
the State historic Preservation Office (``SHPO'') or to the Tribal 
Historic Preservation Office (``THPO''), as appropriate, and the 
Commission before any construction or other installation activities on 
the site begins. Failure to provide the form and complete the review 
process under Section 106 of the NHPA prior to beginning construction 
or other installation activities may violate Section 110(k) of the NHPA 
and the Commission's rules.
    The Tower Construction Notification System (TCNS) is used by or on 
behalf of Applicants proposing to construct new antenna support 
structures, and some collocations, to ensure that Tribal Nations have 
the requisite opportunity to participate in review prior to 
construction. To facilitate this coordination, Tribal Nations have 
designated areas of geographic preference, and they receive automated 
notifications based on the site coordinates provided in the filing. 
Applicants complete TCNS before filing a 620 or 621 and all the 
relevant data is pre-populated on the 620 and 621 when the forms are 
filed electronically.

Federal Communications Commission.
