applicant’s request for a license
pursuant to the 2012 Spectrum Act is
consistent with Section 6004.
Additionally, the form 603 is being
revised to update the Alien Ownership
certifications pursuant to the Second
Report and Order, FCC 13–50, IB Docket
11–133, Review of Foreign Ownership
Policies for Common Carrier and
Aeronautical Radio Licensees under
Section 310(b)(4) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
Amended.
The addition of the National Security
Certification and the revision to the
Alien Ownership certification result in
no change in burden for the revised
collection. The Commission estimates
that the additional certification will not
measurably increase the estimated
average amount of time for respondents
to complete FCC Form 603 across the
range of applicants or for Commission
staff to review the applications.
OMB Control No.: 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 forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions;
State, Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 991 respondents; 991
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping requirement and on
occasion reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection of
information is contained in 47 U.S.C.
151, 154(i), 154(j), 155, 158, 161, 301,
303(r), 308, 309, 310 and 503.
Total Annual Burden: 991 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $1,282,075.
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.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Not
applicable.
Needs and Uses: FCC Form 608 is a
multipurpose 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

Jkt 232001
(‘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).
The form 608 is being revised to add
a National Security Certification that is
applicable to applicants for licenses
issued as a result of the Middle Class
Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012
(2012 Spectrum Act). Section 6004 of
the 2012 Spectrum Act, 47 U.S.C. 1404,
prohibits a person who has been, for
reasons of national security, barred by
any agency of the Federal Government
from bidding on a contract, participating
in an auction, or receiving a grant from
participating in any auction that is
required or authorized to be conducted
pursuant to the 2012 Spectrum Act.
On June 27, 2013, the Commission
released a Report and Order (R&O), FCC
13–88, WT Docket No. 12–357, in which
it established service rules and
competitive bidding procedures for the
1915–1920 MHz and 1995–2000 MHz
bands. See Service Rules for the
Advanced Wireless Services H BlockImplementing Section 6401 of the
Middle Class Tax Relief and Job
Creation Act of 2012 Related to the
1915–1920 MHz and 1995–2000 MHz
Bands, Report and Order, FCC 13–88, 28
FCC Rcd 9483 (2013). The R&O also
implemented Section 6004 by requiring
that a party seeking to participate in any
auction conducted pursuant to the 2012
Spectrum Act certify in its application,
under penalty of perjury, the applicant
and all of the related individuals and
entities required to be disclosed on its
application are not person(s) who have
been, for reasons of national security,
barred by any agency of the Federal
Government from bidding on a contract,
participating in an auction, or receiving
a grant and thus statutorily prohibited
from participating in such a
Commission auction or being issued a
license. In addition, the R&O
determined that the National Security
Certification required by Section 6004
extends to transfers, assignments, and
other secondary market mechanisms
involving licenses granted pursuant to
the 2012 Spectrum Act. See H Block
R&O, 28 FCC Rcd at 9555 ¶ 187. The
Commission therefore seeks approval
for a revision to its currently approved
information collection on FCC Form 608
to include this additional certification.

The revised collection will enable the
Commission to determine whether an
applicant’s request for a license
pursuant to the 2012 Spectrum Act is
consistent with Section 6004.
Additionally, the form 608 is being
revised to update the Alien Ownership
certifications pursuant to the Second
Report and Order, FCC 13–50, IB Docket
11–133, Review of Foreign Ownership
Policies for Common Carrier and
Aeronautical Radio Licensees under
Section 310(b)(4) of the

Needs and Uses: The Alternative
Broadcast Inspection Program (ABIP) is
a series of agreements between the
Federal Communications Commission’s
(FCC) Enforcement Bureau and a private
entity, usually a state broadcast
association, whereby the private entity
agrees to facilitate inspections (and reinspections, where appropriate) of
participating broadcast stations to
determine station compliance with FCC
regulations. Broadcast stations
participate in ABIP on a voluntary basis.
The private entities notify their local
FCC District Office or Resident Agent
Office in writing of those stations that
pass the ABIP inspection and have been
issued a Certificate of Compliance by
the ABIP inspector. The FCC uses this
information to determine which
broadcast stations have been certified in
compliance with FCC Rules and will not
be subject to certain random FCC
inspections.
