60 day comment period has ended, the

any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–0798.
Title: FCC Application for Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau Radio
Service Authorization.
Form No.: FCC Form 601.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit,
not-for-profit institutions, and state,
local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 250,520.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1.25
hours.
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping requirement, third party
disclosure requirement, and on occasion
and every 10 year reporting
requirements.
Total Annual Burden: 219,205 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $50,104,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
adopted and released two rulemakings
that revised this information collection.
FCC 04–135 now includes the addition
of radio services: Broadband Radio
(formerly Multipoint Distribution
Service radio service); Educational
Broadband Services (formerly the VX
radio service); and a new Schedule E
has been created for the technical data
for these services. FCC 04–23 made
changes to Schedules D, I and M to
items concerning the Quiet Zone. The
requirements include: (1) To provide for
immediate processing of applications
that may implicate Quiet Zones, in the
event that the applicant indicates that it
has obtained consent, if required by
section 1.924, of the Quiet Zone entity;
(2) to clarify that applicants may
provide notification to and begin
coordination with Quiet Zone entities,
where required, in advance of filing an
application with the Commission; (3)
amend section 101.31(b)(1)(v) to permit
Part 101 applicants to initiate

conditional operation, provided they
have obtained prior consent of the Quiet
Zone entity to the extent required, and
are otherwise eligible to initiate
conditional operations over the
proposed facility; similarly, the Bureau
clarifies that, for services in which
individual station licenses are not
issued, licensees may initiate operations
immediately upon receipt of the Quiet
Zone entity’s consent; and (4) to clarify
that either the applicant or the
applicant’s frequency coordinator may
notify and initiate any required
coordination proceedings with the Quiet
Zone entity.
Note: For purposes of simplicity, all areas
implicated by section 1.924 will be referred
to as ‘‘Quiet Zones.’’ We note that the only
area with the formal designation of ‘‘Quiet
Zone’’ is the National Radio Quiet Zone,
which encompasses the National Radio
Astronomy Observatory and the Naval Radio
Research Observatory.
The Commission uses the information
provided by applicants on the FCC
Form 601 to update its database and to
determine where the applicant is
legally, technically and financially
qualified to provide licensed services
and to make proper use of the frequency
spectrum.
