SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission has requested OMB
approval of this information collection
under the emergency processing
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act by July 20, 2006.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0855.
Title: Telecommunications Reporting
Worksheet, CC Docket No. 96–45.
Form Number: FCC Forms 499A and
499Q.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit and not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 5,625
respondents; 17,465 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 10–25
hours per quarterly filing; 13.5–25 hours
per annual filing.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
one-time, quarterly and annual
reporting requirements, recordkeeping
requirement, and third party disclosure
requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 263,230 hours.
Total Annual Cost: 0.
Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: This collection was
submitted as a revision to an existing
collection to obtain emergency
clearance for FCC Forms 499–A and
499–Q (3060–0855). Universal Service
obligations have been extended to
Interconnected Voice over Internet
Protocol Providers. The Federal
Communications Commission
(Commission) requires
telecommunications carriers and other
providers of telecommunications to
contribute to the universal service fund.
The Commission has found that
interconnected VoIP providers are
providers of interstate
telecommunications. As such, the
Commission has determined that
interconnected VoIP providers should
contribute to the universal service fund.
By including interconnected VoIP
providers in the contribution base, the
Commission ensures that its
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
contribution mechanism remains
equitable, nondiscriminatory, and
competitive neutral. The Commission
determined that interconnected VoIP
providers may contribute based on
either an interim safe harbor amount,
under which interconnected VoIP
providers treat 64.9 percent of their
telecommunications revenues as
interstate; their actual interstate enduser telecommunications revenues; or
an estimate of their interstate end-user
telecommunications revenues as
determined by a traffic study that has
been approved by the Federal
Communication Commission and
submitted to USAC.
In addition, the Commission
determined that to the extent wireless
providers report revenue based on
traffic studies, in lieu of reporting actual
interstate end-user telecommunications
revenues or the interim wireless safe
harbor of 37.1 percent, such traffic
studies must be filed with the Federal
Communications Commission and the
Universal Service Fund administrator.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–1058.
Title: FCC Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau
Application or Notification for
Spectrum Leasing Arrangement or
Private Commons Arrangement.
Form No.: FCC Form 608 (formerly
known as FCC Form 603–T).
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and
state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 1,490.
Estimated Time per Response: 1–4
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement, recordkeeping
requirement and third party disclosure
requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 6,010 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $846,600.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
submitting this information collection to
OMB as a revision in order to obtain the
full three-year clearance from them.
The Commission adopted and
released a Second Report and Order
(R&O) in FCC 04–167, WT Docket No.
00–230, which set out regulations and
procedures that removed unnecessary
barriers that inhibited the development
of secondary markets in spectrum usage
rights. Specifically, the R&O promoted
the wider use of ‘‘spectrum leasing’’ by
facilitating the ability of licensees in the
Wireless Radio Services that hold
‘‘exclusive’’ authority to lease some or
all of their spectrum usage rights to
third parties for any amount spectrum
and in any geographic area
encompassed by the license, for any
period of time within the terms of the
license. In essence, the Commission has
replaced the existing standard for
assessing de facto control with an
updated standard applicable for
spectrum leasing that better
accommodates evolutionary
developments in the Commission’s
spectrum policies, technological
advances, and marketplace trends. In
the interest of administrative efficiency,
the Commission now has created FCC
Form 608 (formerly FCC Form 603–T)
that pertains specifically to spectrum
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703

leasing arrangements. We recognize
that, due to the transaction costs
associated with leasing or other market
factors, licensees and other parties may
wish to utilize other types of
arrangements involving opportunistic
use of licensed spectrum. To that end,
we adopt a ‘‘private commons’’ option
distinct from either spectrum leases or
other existing arrangements. The private
commons option may be particularly
well suited to meet the unique needs of
market participants that incorporate
‘‘smart’’ or ‘‘opportunistic’’ use
technologies within their bands.

Deputy Secretary.
