The FCC Form 601, specifically Schedule B, is being modified in order to ensure that the Commission will receive from winning bidders claiming special designated entity benefits all information necessary to permit the Commission to review the qualifications of that winning bidder to receive such benefits. While the FCC Form 601, Schedule B, already requires the submission of most of the information that the Commission requires to conduct this review, this requested information collection modification will ensure that the Commission receives additional information as mandated by a recent Commission order revising the rules applicable to entities seeking designated entity benefits. The Commission uses the information provided by applicants on FCC Form 601 to update its database and to determine if the applicant is legally, technically and financially qualified to provide licensed services and to make proper use of the frequency spectrum. The information collected pursuant to this modified information collection will be used to ensure that only legitimate designated entities, as defined by the Commission’s rules, reap the benefits of the Commission’s designated entity program.
