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

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

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.

the lead application on a Main Form, and changing language in the
instructions. The Commission is reporting a 34,092-hour reduction
adjustment in burden and a $2,805,369 reduction in annual costs.
FCC Form 603 is a multi-purpose form used to apply for approval of
assignment or transfer of control of licenses in the wireless services.
The data collected on this form is used by the FCC to determine whether
the public interest would be served by approval of the requested
assignment or transfer. This form is also used to notify the Commission
of consummated assignments and transfers of wireless and/or public
safety licenses that have previously been consented to by the
Commission or for which notification but not prior consent is required.
This form is used by applicants/licensees in the Public Mobile
Services, Personal Communications Services, General Wireless
Communications Services, Private Land Mobile Radio Services, Broadcast
Auxiliary Services, Maritime Service (excluding ships), and Aviation
Services (excluding aircraft). The purpose of the form is to obtain
information sufficient to identify the parties to the proposed
assignment or transfer, establish the parties' basic eligibility and
qualifications, classify the filing, and determine the nature of the
proposed service. Various technical schedules are required along with
the main form applicable to Auctioned Services, Partitioning and
Disaggregation, Undefined Geographical Area Partitioning, Notification
of Consummation or Request for Extension of Time for Consummation.
