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 for small
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless it

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. Information on the FCC Form 601
is maintained in the Commission's system of records notice or 'SORN',
FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless Services Licensing Records''. These licensee
records are publicly available and routinely used in accordance with
subsection b. of the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), as amended.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Respondents may request
materials or information submitted to the Commission be withheld from
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this revised information
collection due to an increase in the filing fees associated with the
FCC Form 601. The annual cost to 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 encouraged 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.
Federal Communications Commission.

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