SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its

and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law No. 104-13. An agency may not conduct

number. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information 
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before March 1, 2004. If you anticipate that you will

    OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Promoting Efficient Use of Spectrum through the Elimination 
of Barriers to the Development of Secondary Markets, WT Docket No. 00-
230.
    Form No.: FCC Form 603-T.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local and tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 1,770.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1-4 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 7,813 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $1,222,040.
    Needs and Uses: The required notifications and applications will 
provide the Commission with useful information about spectrum usage and 
helps to ensure that the licensees and lessees are complying with 
Commission interference and non-interference policies and rules. 
Similar information and verification requirements have been used in the 
past for licensees operating under authorizations, and such 
requirements will serve to minimize interference, verify lessees are 
legally and technically qualified to hold licenses, and ensure 
compliance with Commission rules. The Commission has created an interim 
form, FCC Form 603-T, to be used until revisions to the FCC Form 603, 
and the Universal Licensing System (ULS) be programmed to recognized 
the changes to the FCC 603.

Federal Communications Commission.
