Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this collection as an extension (no change in frequency of recordkeeping or reporting requirements) to the OMB after this 60 day comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. The FCC’s maintains Internet software used by the public to apply for licenses, participate in auctions for spectrum, and maintain license information. In this mission, FCC has a ‘help desk’ that answers questions related to these systems as well as resetting and/or issuing user passwords for access to these systems. The form currently is available on the Web site https:// esupport.fcc.gov/request.htm under OMB Control Number 3060–1042. This form will continue to substantially decrease public and staff burden since all the information needed to facilitate a support request will be submitted in a standard format but be available to a wider audience. This eliminates or at least minimizes the need to follow-up with the customers to obtain all the information necessary to respond to their request. This form also helps presort requests into previously defined categories to all staff to respond more quickly. VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:55 Dec 10, 2015 Jkt 238001 Federal Communications Commission.

Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other for profit entities; not-for-profit institutions; State, Local or Tribal Governments. Number of Respondents/Responses: 9,250 respondents; 9,250 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 2.5 hours to 4.5 hours. Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement; on occasion reporting requirement; biennially reporting requirement. Total Annual Burden: 38,125 hours. Total Annual Costs: $26,940,000. Nature of Response: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in Sections 154(i), 303, 310 and 533 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Form 323 collects two types of information from respondents: Personal information in the form of names, addresses, job titles and demographic information; and FCC Registration Numbers (FRNs). The system of records notice (SORN), FCC/MB–1, ‘‘Ownership Report for Commercial Broadcast Stations,’’ which was approved on December 21, 2009 (74 FR 59978) covers the collection, purposes(s), storage, safeguards, and disposal of the PII that individual respondents may submit on FCC Form 323. FCC Form 323 is drafting a privacy statement to inform applicants (respondents) of the Commission’s need to obtain the information and the protections that the FCC has in place to protect the PII. FRNs are assigned to applicants who complete FCC Form 160 (OMB Control No. 3060–0917). Form 160 requires applicants for FRNs to provide their Taxpayer Information Number (TIN) and/or Social Security Number (SSN). The FCC’s electronic CORES Registration System then provides each registrant with a FCC Registration Number (FRN), which identifies the registrant in his/her subsequent dealings with the FCC. This is done to protect the individual’s privacy. The Commission maintains a SORN, FCC/OMD–9, ‘‘Commission Registration System (CORES)’’ to cover the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and disposal of the PII that individual respondents may submit on FCC Form 160. FCC Form 160 includes a privacy statement to inform applicants (respondents) of the Commission’s need E:\FR\FM\11DEN1.SGM 11DEN1
