Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

May 27, 2010.
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, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 3520. 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; (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, and (e) 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC 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 currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before August 2, 2010. If you anticipate that you will 
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget, via fax at 202-395-5167 or via the Internet at 
Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov and to the Federal Communications 
Commission via email to PRA@fcc.gov.

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Respondents may request that

This general rule governs requests to withhold from public inspection 
information submitted to the Commission.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

    The purpose of the FCC Form 602 is to obtain the identity of the 
filer and to elicit information required by Section 1.2112 of the 
Commission's rules regarding: 1) persons or entities holding a 10 
percent or greater direct or indirect ownership interest or any general 
partners in a general partnership holding a direct or indirect 
ownership interest in the applicant (``Disclosable Interest Holders''; 
and 2) all FCC-regulated entities in which the filer or any of its 
Disclosable Interest Holders owns a 10 percent or greater interest.
    The data collected on the FCC Form 602 includes the FCC 
Registration Number (FRN), which serves as a ``common link'' for all 
filings an entity has with the Commission. The Debt Collection 
Improvement Act of 1996 requires that entities filing with the 
Commission use a FRN. The FCC Form 602 was designed for, and must be 
filed electronically by, all licensees that hold licenses in 
auctionable services.
