SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 3520. 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; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents, including the use of automated

ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not
display a currently valid OMB control number.

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. Records may include information
about individuals or households, e.g., personally identifiable

governed by the requirements of a system of records notice or ``SORN'',

Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this information
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this
comment period in order to obtain the full three year clearance from
them. There is no change to the Commission's estimated burden.
The Commission is revising this information collection due to an
increase in the filing fees associated with the FCC Form 601. The
annual cost on the respondent has increased by $4,746,000. This cost
was previously estimated at $50,664,000.
The FCC Form 601 is a consolidated, multi-part application form, or
``long form'', that is used for general market-based licensing and
site-by-site licensing for wireless telecommunications and public
safety services filed through the Commission's Universal Licensing
System (ULS). FCC Form 601 is composed of a main form that contains the
administrative information and a series of schedules used for filing
technical and other information. Respondents are encourages to submit
FCC Form 601 electronically and are required to do so when submitting
FCC Form 601 to apply for an authorization for which the applicant is
the winning bidder in a spectrum auction.
