requirement and recordkeeping
requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152,
154(i), 155(c), 157, 201, 202, 208, 214,
301, 302a, 303, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311,
314, 316, 319, 324, 331, 332, 333, 336,
534 and 535 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended.
Total Annual Burden: 221,780 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $55,140,000.
Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
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 is
seeking OMB approval for a revision of
this information collection in order to
obtain the full three year approval from
OMB. There is no change to the
Commission’s previous burden
estimates.
FCC Form 601 is a consolidated,
multi-part application form, or ‘‘long
form’’, that is used for general marketbased licensing and site-by-site
licensing for wireless
telecommunications and public safety
services filed through the Commission’s
Universal Licensing System (ULS). FCC
Form 601 is composed of a main form
that contains the administrative
information and a series of schedules
used for filing technical and other
information. Respondents are
encouraged to submit FCC Form 601
electronically and are required to do so
when submitting FCC Form 601 to
apply for an authorization for which the
applicant was the winning bidder in a
spectrum auction.
The data collected on the FCC Form
601 include the FCC Registration
Number (FRN), which serves as a
‘‘common link’’ for all filings an entity
has with the FCC. The Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 requires those
entities filing with the Commission to
use a FRN.
Additionally, the FCC Form 601 is
used for auctionable services as they are
implemented: FCC Form 601 is used to
apply for a new authorization, or to
amend a pending application for an
authorization to operate a license
wireless radio services. This includes
Public Mobile Services, Personal
Communications Services, General
Wireless Communications Services,
Private Land Mobile Radio Services,
Broadcast Auxiliary Services, Fixed
Microwave Services, Instructional

Television Fixed Service (ITFS) and the
Multipoint Distribution Service (MDS),
Maritime Services (excluding ships),
and Aviation Services (excluding
aircraft). It may also be used to modify
or renew an existing license, cancel a
license, withdraw a pending
application, obtain a duplicate license,
submit required notifications, request an
extension of time to satisfy construction
requirements, or request an
administrative update to an existing
license (such as mailing address change,
request a Special Temporary Authority
(STA) or a Developmental License.
The Commission is now seeking OMB
approval for a revision of the FCC Form
601, Schedules D, I and M to allow
respondents the option to provide a
pending File Number for an Antenna
Structure Registration (ASR). Previously
ULS would only accept a granted ASR
registration number. This change is
being made to allow applicants to file a
FCC Form 601 application while the
ASR application is going through the
new environmental notice process as
required by the Migratory Bird Order on
Remand, WTB Docket Nos. 08–61 and
03–187. The entries for structure type
are changing as a result of the Order as
well.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0645.
Title: Sections 17.4, 17.48 and 17.49,
Antenna Structure Registration
Requirements.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions
and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 2,500
respondents; 268,700 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .1–.25
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement, recordkeeping
requirement and third party disclosure
requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154 and 303.
Total Annual Burden: 29,155 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $53,000.
Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
However, respondents may request
materials or information submitted to
the Commission be withheld from
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking OMB approval for an extension
of this information collection in order to
obtain the full three year approval. The
Commission has adjusted its burden and

cost estimates in order to update the
collection burdens necessary to
implement a uniform registration
process as well as safe and effective
lighting procedures for owners of
antenna structures.
Section 17.4 requires the owner of any
proposed or existing antenna structure
that requires notice of proposed
construction to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) to register the
structure with the Commission. Section
17.4 also requires antenna structure
owners to provide their tenants with
copies of the antenna structure
registration. This includes those
structures used as part of the stations
licensed by the Commission for the
transmission of radio energy, or to be
used as part of a cable television headend system. If a Federal Government
antenna structure is to be used by a
Commission licensee, the structure must
be registered with the Commission. A
registration number is issued to identify
antenna structure owners in order to
enforce the Congressionally-mandated
provisions related to the owners.
Sections 17.48 and 17.49 contain
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements. Section 17.48 requires the
notification of the FAA of any
extinguishment or improper functioning
of antenna structure lighting, and
§ 17.49 requires the recording of
antenna structure light inspections in
the owner’s record.
The information collected is used by
the Commission during investigations
related to air safety and if the
information were not collected, the
Commission would not be able to
adequately conduct these investigations.
The information is also used to protect
air safety by ensuring that pilots are
adequately informed of lighting outages.
