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 Sfmt 4703 38397 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.

Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit. Number of Respondents: 67. Estimated Time per Response: 1–55.9 hours.

The number of respondents has decreased from 1,520 to 67 from the last time this collection was submitted to OMB in 2003. The requested changes in burden for the total annual burden hours and annual costs have been revised to accurately reflect the most recent information available. Many local exchange carriers have chosen to participate in group filings for tariffs. This has resulted in a major adjustment to the number of respondents, estimated burden hours and annual costs. For instance, National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) files for approximately 900 Local Exchange Carriers (LECs). This has drastically reduced the number of respondents for this collection. The Commission issued these reporting, recordkeeping and third party disclosure requirements in CC Docket No. 96–187 in January 31, 1997.
