Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general there is no need
for confidentiality. On a case by case basis, the Commission may be
required to withhold from disclosure certain information about the
location, character, or ownership of a historic property, including
traditional religious sites.
Needs and Uses: The FCC Form 602 is necessary to obtain the
identity of the filer and to elicit information required by Section
1.2112 of the Commission's rules regarding: (1) Persons or entities
holding a 10 percent or greater direct or indirect ownership interest
or any general partners in a general partnership holding a direct or
indirect ownership
[[Page 37643]]
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.
