Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 48 / Tuesday, March 14, 2017 / Notices
the FCC invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collections.
Comments are requested concerning:
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
OMB Control No.: 3060–0850.
Title: Quick-Form Application for
Authorization in the Ship, Aircraft,
Amateur, Restricted and Commercial
Operator, and General Mobile Radio
Services, FCC Form 605.
Form No.: FCC Form 605.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit;
not-for-profit institutions; state, local or
tribal government.
Number of Respondents/Responses:
130,000 respondents; 130,000
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.17
hours–0.44 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement; third party
disclosure requirement, recordkeeping
and other (5 and 10 years).
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection is contained
in 47 CFR 1.913(a)(4).
Total Annual Burden: 57,218 hours.
Total Respondent Cost: $2,676,700.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general there is no need for
confidentiality. The Commission is
required to withhold from disclosure
certain information about the individual
such as date of birth or telephone
number.
FCC 605 application is a consolidated
application form for Ship, Aircraft,
Amateur, Restricted and Commercial
Radio Operators, and General Mobile
Radio Services and is used to collect
licensing data for the Universal
Licensing System. The Commission is
requesting OMB approval for an
extension (no change in the reporting,
recordkeeping and/or third party
disclosure requirements). The
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:42 Mar 13, 2017
Jkt 241001
Commission is making minor
clarifications to the instructions on the
main form and schedule B as well as a
clarification to Item 3 on the main form.
The data collected on this form
includes the Date of Birth for
Commercial Operator licensees however
this information will be redacted from
public view.
The FCC uses the information in FCC
Form 605 to determine whether the
applicant is legally, technically, and
financially qualified to obtain a license.
Without such information, the
Commission cannot determine whether
to issue the licenses to the applicants
that provide telecommunication
services to the public, and therefore, to
fulfill its statutory responsibilities in
accordance with the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended.
The Commission is revising the basic
qualifications section of the form to
include a question regarding whether an
application has been convicted of a
felony in any state or federal court.
Applicants, answering yes must provide
an explanation. This item enables the
FCC to determine whether an Applicant
is eligible under §§ 310(d) and 308(b) of
the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, to hold or have ownership
interest in a station license.
In addition we are seeking approval to
change the ship application form
require the applicant provide the official
ship number. Coast Guard requests we
change this question from optional to
required. Obtaining the ship number is
the only way to reliably link a license
to a specific vessel.
The Information provided on this
form will also be used to update the
database and to provide for proper use
of the frequency spectrum as well as
enforcement purposes.

method used to determine compliance
with the 38 dB image rejection ratio, the
