There is no change in the reporting requirements. There is no change in the Commission’s burden estimates. FCC Form 609–T is used by Designated Entities (DEs) to request prior Commission approval pursuant to Section 1.2114 of the Commission’s rules for any reportable eligibility event. The data collected on the form is used by the FCC to determine whether the public interest would be served by the approval of the reportable eligibility event. FCC Form 611–T is used by DE licensees to file an annual report, pursuant to Section 1.2110(n) of the Commission’s rules, related to eligibility for designated entity benefits. The information collected will be used to ensure that only legitimate small businesses reap the benefits of the Commission’s designated entity program. Further, this information will assist the Commission in preventing companies from circumventing the objectives of the designated entity eligibility rules by allowing us to review: 1) the FCC 609–T applications seeking approval for ‘‘reportable eligibility events’’ and 2) the FCC Form 611–T annual reports to ensure that licensees receiving designated entity benefits are in compliance with the Commission’s policies and rules.
