This information collection requires
that nationwide narrowband Personal
Communications Services (PCS)
licensees must, under 47 CFR 24.103,
notify the Commission by filing FCC
Form 601, no later than 15 days after the
end of the five year period following the
initial grant of their license, indicating
that they plan to satisfy the alternative
requirements to provide ‘‘substantial
service’’. Also, under section 24.103(f),
upon meeting the five and 10 year
benchmarks in paragraphs (a), (b), and
(c) of this subsection, licensees shall
notify the Commission by filing FCC
Form 601 and including a map and

mediocre service, and that those
systems serve a significant area of the
U.S. population.

Total Annual Burden: 143,150 hours.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission does not request that
respondents submit confidential
information to the Commission. If the
applicants wish to submit information
that they believe is confidential, they
may request confidential treatment of
such information under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Need and Uses: The Commission will
submit this expiring information
collection after this 60 day comment
period to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full
three year clearance from them. There is
no change to the reporting and or third
party disclosure requirements. The
Commission is reporting a 9,500 hour
increase in burden which is due to an
increase in the number of respondents
based on the actual number of
participants in the E–rate program. For
the FCC Form 473, the Commission
reduced the number of respondents to
5,000 based on the actual number of
service providers filing FCC Form 473
in funding year 2008. There was no
change in burden for FCC Form 474.
The FCC Form 472 is used to establish
a process and procedure for an eligible
entity to seek reimbursement from the
service provider for the discounts on
services paid in full. After receiving an
invoice from the service provider,
together with a FCC Form 472, the
administrator (USAC – Universal
Service Administrative Company) is
able to verify the eligible service and
approved amounts that should be
reimbursed and can make the
appropriate payment to the service
provider. The FCC Form 472 is also
used to ensure that each service
provider that provided discounted
services within the current funding year
for which it submits an invoice to USAC
and that invoices submitted from
service providers for the cost of
discounted eligible services do not
exceed the amount that has been
approved.
FCC Form 473 is used to establish that
the participating service provider is
eligible to participate in the E–rate
program and to confirm that the invoice
forms submitted by the service provider
are in compliance with the E–rate rules.
The FCC Form 473 is also used by
USAC to assure that the dollars paid out
by the universal service fund go to
eligible providers.
FCC Form 474 is to establish the
process and procedure for a service
provider to seek payment for the
discounted costs of services it provided
to billed entities for eligible services.
After receiving an invoice from the

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 9, 2010 / Notices
service provider, together with a FCC
Form 474, USAC is able to verify that
the eligible and approved amounts can
be paid. The FCC Form 474 is also used
to ensure that each service provider has
provided discount services with the
current funding year for which it
submits an invoice to USAC and that
invoices submitted from service
providers for the costs of discounted
eligible services do not exceed the
amount that has been approved.
All of the requirements contained in
this information collection are necessary
to implement the congressional mandate
for the schools and libraries universal
service support program and
reimbursement process.
