SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the 
Federal Communications Commission (Commission) invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection. Comments are requested 
concerning: Whether the 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 
Commission may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be 
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information subject to the PRA that

    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit 
institutions; and State, Local or Tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 4,115.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5-1.5 hours.

    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The

Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The statutory authority for 
this collection of this information is contained in Sections 154(i), 
303(g), 303(r), and 332(c)(7) of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 5,217 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $762,300.
    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 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.
