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. Respondents: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions; and State, Local or Tribal government. Number of Respondents and Responses: 991 respondents; 991 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, Recordkeeping requirement. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The statutory authority for collection 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. Total Annual Cost: $1,282,075. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Not applicable. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general there is no need for confidentiality with this collection of information. Needs and Uses: The 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 (‘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 § 1.9080 of the Commission’s Rules). The FCC Form 608 is revised to add a National Security Certification that is applicable to applicants for licenses issued pursuant to the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (2012 Spectrum Act). § 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:20 Feb 07, 2014 Jkt 232001 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 § 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, that 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 § 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. OMB approved the revision to the collection for the 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 § 6004. Additionally, the FCC Form 608 is 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 § 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 608 across the range of applicants or for Commission staff to review the applications.
