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 April 28, 2008.
If you anticipate that you will be
submitting PRA comments, but find it

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information or copies of the
information collection(s), contact Judith
B. Herman at 202–418–0214 or via the
Internet at: Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0767.
Title: Sections 1.2110, 1.2111 and
1.2112, Auction Forms and License
Disclosure Requirements.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and
state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 22,000
respondents; 22,000 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 17.6
hours (average).
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement, recordkeeping
requirement and third party disclosure
requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 390,750 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $23,966,750.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
However, if applicants wish to request
confidential treatment of their filing,
they may do so pursuant to 47 CFR
0.459 of the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
(IC) to the OMB as an extension (no
change in the reporting, recordkeeping
and/or third party disclosure
requirements) during this comment
period to obtain the full three-year
clearance from them. There is a
significant decrease in the number of
burden hours and annual costs because
when this information was submitted to
OMB in 2005, the burden estimates
provided to them were too high.
Therefore, the Commission has recalculated the estimates to more
accurately reflect the actual burden
imposed on applicants. Finally, the
Commission changed the title of this IC
to note the specific rule sections for
which the Commission seeks extension
of OMB approval under this OMB
Control Number 3060–0767. The
Commission rule sections for this IC are
PO 00000
Frm 00060

section 1.2110, Designated Entities;
Section 1.2111, Assignment or Transfer
of Control: Unjust Enrichment; and
section 1.2112, Ownership Disclosure
Requirements for Applications.
Disclosure requirements regarding
ownership and gross revenues
information and calculations are
designed to ensure that applicants are
qualified to participate in Commission
auctions and to ensure that license
winners are entitled to receive small
business preferences. Disclosures
regarding joint bidding agreements and
the associated certification are designed
to prevent collusion. Disclosure of
information regarding license transfers
and partitioning is designed to deter
unjust enrichment. Finally, records
retention and maintenance by small
business licensees is designed to
prevent unjust enrichment and to
facilitate enforcement efforts, if
necessary.

Acting Secretary.

(Interoperability FNPRM), published at
71 FR 30848, May 31, 2006. The
Interoperability FNPRM, among other
things, sought comment on the
feasibility of establishing a global,

application of the ‘‘slamming’’ and other
consumer protection rules (such as the
Commission’s Consumer Proprietary
Network Information rules, local
number portability rules, and number
