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

September 17, 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 November 22, 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judith B. Herman, Office of Managing 
Director, (202) 418-0214. For additional information, contact Judith B. 
Herman, OMD, 202-418-0214 or email judith-b.herman@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1058.
    Title: FCC Application or Notification for Spectrum Leasing 
Arrangement: Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and/or Public Safety 
and Homeland Security Bureau.
    Form No.: FCC Form 608.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 991 respondents; 991 
responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. sections 151, 154(i), 154(j), 155, 161, 301, 303(r), 308, 309, 
310, 332 and 503.
    Total Annual Burden: 4,955 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $910,400.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general there is no need 
for confidentiality. On a case-by-case basis, the Commission may be 
required to withhold from disclosure certain information about the 
location, character, or ownership of a historic property, including 
traditional religious sites.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this revised information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 
comment period to obtain OMB approval. The Commission is reporting a 
3,200 hour burden reduction adjustment which is due to 632 fewer 
respondents.
    The revision to the FCC Form 608 is due to rewording of data 
elements, adding a question inquiring if filing is the lead application 
on the Main Form, and changing language in the instructions.
    FCC Form 608 is a multi-purpose form. It is used to provide 
notification or request approval for any spectrum leasing arrangement 
('Leases') entered into between an existing licensee ('Licensee') in 
certain wireless services and a spectrum lessee ('Lessee'). This form 
also is required to notify or request approval for any spectrum 
subleasing arrangement ('Sublease').
    The data collected on the form is used by the FCC to determine 
whether the public interest would be served by the Lease or Sublease. 
The form is also used to provide notification for any Private Commons 
Arrangement entered into between a Licensee, Lessee, or Sublessee and a 
class of third-party users (as defined in Section 1.9080 of the 
Commission's rules).
