Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is a need for
confidentiality with respect to amateur radio service filers. The
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau instructs licensees to use the FCC's
Universal Licensing System (ULS), Antenna Structure Registration (ASR),
Commission Registration System (CORES) and related systems and
subsystems to submit information. CORES is used to receive an FCC
Registration Number (FRN) and password, after which one must register
all current call signs and ASR numbers associated with a FRN within the
Bureau's system of records (ULS database). Although ULS stores all
information pertaining to the individual license via the FRN,
confidential information is accessible only by persons or entities that
hold the password for each account, and the Bureau's Licensing Division
staff. Upon the request of a FRN, the individual licensee is consenting
to make publicly available, via the ULS database, all information that
is not confidential in nature.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this extension (no
change in reporting requirements) to the OMB after this 60-day comment
period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. There is no
change in the hourly burden.
Part 22 of the Commission's rules contain the technical and legal
requirements for radio stations operating in the Public Mobile
Services. The information collected is used to determine on a case-by-
case basis, whether or not to grant licenses authorizing construction
and operation of wireless telecommunications facilities to common
carriers. Further, this information is used to develop statistics about
the demand for various wireless licenses and/or the licensing process
itself, and occasionally for rule enforcement purposes.
