a collection of information subject to the

Written Paperwork Reduction

submissions for licenses or grants of
equipment authorization.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is a need for confidentiality with
respect to filers who are individuals in
this collection. Pursuant to section
208(b) of the E-Government Act of 2002,
44 U.S.C. 3501, in conformance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552(a), the
Commission’s Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau)
instructs licensees to use the FCC’s
Universal Licensing System (ULS),
Antenna Structure Registration (ASR),
Commission Registration System
(CORES), and related systems and
subsystems to submit information.
CORES is used to obtain a FCC
Registration Number (FRN) and
password, after which one must register
all current call sign and ASR numbers
associated with a FRN within the
Bureau’s system of records (ULS
database). Although ULS stores all
information pertaining to the individual
licensee via the FRN, confidential
information is accessible only by
persons or entities that hold the
password for each account and the
Bureau’s licensing staff. Upon the
request for a FRN, the individual
licensee is consenting to make publicly
available, via the ULS database, all
information that is not confidential in
nature.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection (IC) to the OMB during this
comment period to obtain the three year
clearance from them. The Commission
is seeking OMB approval for a revision
of this information collection.
The Commission has significantly
reduced the burden in this information
collection (IC) because we have
streamlined and eliminated outdated
rule sections; eliminated rule
requirements that are covered under
other OMB control numbers, and
eliminated rule sections that were part
of this collection, but are not
information collections, but instead are
policies the Commission published in
the public interest. Finally, any
duplicate information collections were
also removed from this IC.
The information collected pursuant to
rules in Part 22 of the Commission’s
rules is primarily used by Commission
staff to determine, on a case-by-case
basis, whether or not to grant licenses
authorizing construction and operation
of wireless telecommunications
facilities to qualified applicants and
licensees, who supply this information
when they apply for such licenses.
Additionally, the information is
sometimes used by Commission staff to
develop statistics about the demand for

various wireless telecommunications
licenses and about the performance of
the licensing process itself, and on
occasion for rule enforcement purposes.
