Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 126 / Monday, July 1, 2013 / Notices
requests, in order to provide the
Commission, information that has been
collected in separate databases, each for
a different group of services. Such
processes have resulted in unreliable
reporting, duplicate filings for the same
licensees/applicants, and high cost
burdens to licensees/applicants. By
streamlining the ULS, the Commission
eliminates the filing of duplicative
applications for wireless carriers;
increases the accuracy and reliability of
licensing information; and enables all
wireless applicants and licensees to file
all licensing-related applications and
other filings electronically, thus
increasing the speed and efficiency of
the application process.
The ULS also benefits wireless
applicants/licensees by reducing the
cost of preparing applications, and
speeds up the licensing process in that
the Commission can introduce new
entrants more quickly into this already
competitive industry. Finally, ULS
enhances the availability of licensing
information to the public which has
access to all publicly available wireless
information on-line, including maps
depicting a licensee’s geographic service
area.

Total Annual Cost: $508,200.
Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
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
will submit this collection to the OMB
for approval of a revision in order to
obtain the three year clearance from
them. There is no change in the
Commission’s previous burden
estimates. The Commission is removing
question 1b from the FCC Form 602.
The form will be revised upon OMB
approval and the availability of IT funds
to update the electronic form.
The purpose of the FCC Form 602 is
to obtain the identity of the filer and to
elicit information required by Section
1.2112 of the Commission’s rules
regarding:
(1) Persons or entities holding a 10
percent or greater direct or indirect
ownership interest or any general
partners in a general partnership
holding a direct or indirect ownership
interest in the applicant (‘‘Disclosable
Interest Holders’’); and
(2) All FCC-regulated entities in
which the filer or any of its Disclosable
Interest Holders owns a 10 percent or
greater interest.
The data collected on the FCC Form
602 includes 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 that
entities filing with the Commission use
a FRN. The FCC Form 602 was designed
for, and must be filed electronically by,
all licensees that hold licenses in
auctionable services.
The information collected on the form
is used by the FCC to determine
whether the filer is legally, technically
and financially qualified to be a
licensee. Without such information, the
Commission could not determine
whether to issue licenses to applicants
that provide telecommunications
services to the public and fulfill its
statutory responsibilities in accordance
with the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended.
