responses.

Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The statutory authority for 
this collection of this information is contained in Sections 154(i),

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.

Federal Communications Commission.
