Total Annual Burden: 102 hours.

Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The
FCC maintains a system of record notice
(SORN), FCC/WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless
Services Licensing Records,’’ that covers
the collection, purpose(s), storage,
safeguards and disposal of the
personally identifiable information (PII)
that individual PCS licensees maintain
under 47 CFR 24.103 of the
Commission’s rules.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is a need for confidentiality. See
Privacy Impact Assessment above and
in the supporting statement (item 10)
when this collection is submitted to
OMB for review and approval.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
submitting this expiring information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for approval of an
extension request (no change in the
reporting and/or recordkeeping
requirement).
The Commission’s narrowband
Personal Communications Service (PCS)
rules will improve the efficiency of
spectrum use, reduce the regulatory
burden on spectrum users, encourage
competition, and promote service to the
largest feasible number of users.
Specifically, this collection requires
that nationwide narrowband PCS
licensees must, under this rule section,
to notify the FCC by filing FCC Form
601, no later than 15 days after the end
of the 5 year period following the initial
grant of their license, indicating that
they plan to satisfy the alternative
requirements to provide ‘‘substantial
service’’. Also under this rule section,
upon meeting the 5 and 10 year
benchmarks in (a), (b) and (c) of this
subsection, licensees shall notify the
Commission by filing FCC Form 601
and including a map and other
supporting documentation that
demonstrate the required geographic
area coverage, population coverage, or
substantial service to the licensed area
within 15 days of the expiration of the
relevant period has been met.

requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to

authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151,

Total Annual Burden: 100 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
submitting this expiring information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for approval of an
extension request (no change in the
public reporting, recordkeeping and/or
third party disclosure requirements).
The Commission is reporting an 80
hour increase in the total annual
burden. This change is due to an
increase in the number of respondents
filing equipment transfer notifications
due to an increase in school closings
and consolidations.
In the event that a recipient of
equipment purchased with E-rate funds
is permanently or temporarily closed
and the equipment is transferred, the
transferring entity must notify USAC of
the transfer, and both the transferring
and receiving entities must maintain
detailed records documenting the
transfer and the reasons for the transfer
for a period of five years. The purpose
of this notification is to prevent waste,
fraud and abuse.

The Commission is reporting an 80 hour increase in the total annual
burden. This change is due to an increase in the number of respondents
filing equipment transfer notifications due to an increase in school
closings and consolidations.
In the event that a recipient of equipment purchased with E-rate
funds is permanently or temporarily closed and the equipment is
transferred, the transferring entity must notify USAC of the transfer,
and both the transferring and receiving entities must maintain detailed
records documenting the transfer and the reasons for the transfer for a
period of five years. The purpose of this notification is to prevent
waste, fraud and abuse.
