responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .5 hours - 1.5 hours.

party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
U.S.C. sections 154(i), 303(g), 303(r), and 332(c)(7).
Total Annual Burden: 5,215 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $508,200.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Respondents may request that
material or information submitted to the Commission be withheld from
public inspection pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
during this comment period to obtain the full three year clearance from
them. There is no change to the reporting and/or third party disclosure
requirements. There is no change in the Commission's burden estimates.
The purpose of the FCC Form 602 is to obtain the identity of the
filer and to elicit information required by 47 CFR 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 a 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 he 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.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.
