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, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not 
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid control number. No person shall be 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 valid 
control number. Comments are requested concerning (a) Whether the 
proposed collection of 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; 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.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before May 25, 2007. If you anticipate that you will be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0800.
    Title: FCC Application for Assignment of Authorization or Transfer 
of Control: Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and Public Safety and 
Homeland Security Bureau.
    Form No.: FCC Form 603.
    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: 32,551 respondents; 32,551 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .50-1.75 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement and on occasion 
reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
    Total Annual Burden: 36,621 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $3,092,295.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: This information collection 
contains personally identifiable information (PII). The FCC has a 
system of records (SORN), FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless Services Licensing 
Record,'' to cover the collection, maintenance, use(s), and destruction 
of this PII, which respondents may provide to the FCC as part of the 
information collection requirement(s). This SORN was published in the 
Federal Register on April 5, 2006 (71 FR 17234, 17269).
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to OMB as a revision during this comment period to obtain 
the full three-year clearance from them. The Commission is reporting a 
program change increase for this information collection because the 
bureau has added a new page 5 to Schedule A of FCC Form 603. The number 
of respondents has increased that will have to complete that part of 
the form if they are submitting information for Gross Revenue for 
Attributable Material Relationship (AMR Entity). The bureau also 
updated the phone numbers, email addresses and other pertinent 
information on the form.
    The Commission uses the information in FCC Form 603 to determine 
whether the applicant is legally, technically and financially qualified 
to obtain a license. Without such information, the Commission cannot 
determine whether to issue the licenses to the applicants that provide 
telecommunications services to the public, and therefore, to fulfill 
its statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended. Information provided on this form will also be 
used to update the database and to provide for proper use of the 
frequency spectrum.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-1058.
    Title: FCC Application or Notification for Spectrum Leasing 
Arrangement or Private Commons Agreement: Wireless Telecommunications 
Bureau, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau.
    Form No.: FCC Form 608.
    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: 1,593 respondents; 1,593 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .50-1.75 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement and on occasion 
reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 7,965 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $1,309,446.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Respondents may request 
materials or information submitted to the Commission be withheld from 
public inspection under 47 CFR Section 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to OMB as a revision during this comment period to obtain 
the full three-year clearance from them. The Commission is reporting a 
program change increase for this information collection because the 
bureau has added a new page 5 to Schedule A of FCC Form 608. The number 
of respondents has increased that will have to complete that part of 
the form if they are submitting information for Gross Revenue for 
Attributable Material Relationship (AMR Entity). The bureau also 
updated the phone numbers, email addresses and other pertinent 
information on the form.
    The required notifications and applications will provide the 
Commission with useful information about spectrum usage and help to 
ensure that licensees and lessees are complying with Commission 
interference and non-interference related policies and rules. Similar 
information and verification requirements have been used in the past 
for licensees operating under authorizations, and such requirements 
will serve to minimize interference, verify that lessees are legally 
and technically qualified to hold licenses, and ensure compliance with 
Commission rules.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
