SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public

Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 3520. Comments are

The Commission is revising this collection to request OMB approval
of a certification and/or showing of compliance of narrowband
equivalency as an attachment and correcting chief financial officers in
Schedule B of the FCC Form 601.
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
the 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.
The data collected on FCC Form 601 include 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 those entities filing with the Commission use a FRN.
FCC Form 601 is being used for auctionable services as they are
implemented. FCC Form 601 is used to apply for a new authorization, or
to amend a pending application for an authorization to operate a
license wireless radio service. This include Public Mobile Services,
Personal Communications Services, General Wireless Communications
Services, Private Land Mobile Radio Services, Broadcast Auxiliary
Services, Fixed Microwave Services, Instructional Television Fixed
Service (ITFS), and the Multipoint Distribution Service (MDS), Maritime
Services (excluding ships), and Aviation Services (excluding aircraft).
It may also be used to modify or renew an existing license, cancel a
license, withdraw a pending application, obtain a duplicate license,
submit required notifications, request an extension of time to satisfy
construction requirements, or request an administrative update to an
existing license (such as mailing address change), request a Special
Temporary Authority (STA) or a Developmental License.
