The Commission collects this information in several contexts, including when determining the eligibility of applicants to participate in Commission auctions, the eligibility of parties to hold a Commission authorization, the eligibility of parties to whom authorizations are being transferred, and the repayment by authorization holders of small business bidding credits received in Commission auctions. The information requirement will enable the Commission to ensure that no bidder gains an unfair advantage over other ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 7667 bidders in its spectrum auctions and thus enhance the competitiveness and fairness of its auctions. The information collected will be reviewed and, if warranted, referred to the Commission’s Enforcement Bureau for possible investigation and administrative action. The Commission may also refer allegations of anticompetitive auction conduct to the Department of Justice for investigation. OMB has approved separately the routine collections of information pursuant to these Commission rules in applications to participate in Commission auctions, FCC Form 175, OMB Control No. 3060– 0600, and in Commission licensing applications, FCC Form 601, OMB Control No. 3060–0798. On occasion, the Commission may collect information pursuant to these rules to clarify information provided in these forms or in circumstances to which the standard forms may not directly apply. Accordingly, the Commission requests an extension of the approval of OMB Control No. 3060–0767. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H.
