Information Collection Being Submitted for Review and Approval to 
Office of Management and Budget

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

might ``further reduce the information collection burden for small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.''
    The Commission may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management 
and Budget (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.

2019. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments but find 
it difficult to do so with the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contacts listed below as soon as possible.

Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C.

    Needs and Uses: The FCC Form 602 is necessary to obtain the 
identity of the filer and to elicit information required by Section

or any general partners in a general partnership holding a direct or

interest in the applicant (``Disclosable Interest Holders''); and (2) 
All FCC-regulated entities in which the filer or any of its Disclosable 
Interest Holders owns a 10 percent or greater interest. The data 
collected on the FCC Form 602 includes 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 
entities filing with the Commission use an FRN. The FCC Form 602 was 
designed for, and must be filed electronically by, all licensees that 
hold licenses in auctionable services.
    The FCC Form 602 is comprised of the Main Form containing 
information regarding the filer and the Schedule A is used to collect 
ownership data pertaining to the Disclosable Interest Holder(s). Each 
Disclosable Interest Holder will have a separate Schedule A.
    Thus, a filer will submit its FCC Form 602 with multiple copies of 
Schedule A, as necessary, to list each Disclosable Interest Holder and 
associated information.

Federal Communications Commission.
