technical information. These schedules
are required when applying for
Auctioned Services, Partitioning and
Disaggregation, Undefined Geographical
Area Partitioning, and Notification of
Consummation or Request for Extension
of Time for Consummation. Applicants/
licensees in the Public Mobile Services,
Personal Communications Services,
Private Land Mobile Radio Services,
Broadband Radio Service, Educational
Broadband Service, Maritime Services
(excluding Ship), and Aviation Services
(excluding Aircraft) use FCC Form 603
to apply for an assignment or transfer,
to establish their parties’ basic eligibility
and qualifications, to classify the filing,
and/or to determine the nature of the
proposed service. This form is also used
to notify the FCC of consummated
assignments and transfers of wireless
licenses to which the Commission has
previously consented or for which
notification but not prior consent is
required. Respondents are encouraged
to submit FCC 603 electronically.
The data collected on FCC 603
include the FCC Registration Number
(FRN), which serves as a ‘‘common
link’’ for all filings an entity has with
the FCC. The Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 required that
those filing with the Commission to use
an FRN, effective December 3, 2001.
Records may include information
about individuals or households, e.g.,
personally identifiable information or
PII, and the use(s) and disclosure of this
information are governed by the
requirements of a system of records
notice or ‘SORN’, FCC/WTB–1,
‘‘Wireless Services Licensing Records.’’
There are no additional impacts under
the Privacy Act.
On August 3, 2017, the Commission
released the WRS Reform Second Report
and Order in which it consolidated the
hodgepodge of service-specific
geographic partitioning and spectrum
disaggregation rules into a consolidated
Part 1 rule, 1.950 (See Amendment of
Parts 1, 22, 24, 27, 74, 80, 90, 95, and
101 To Establish Uniform License
Renewal, Discontinuance of Operation,
and Geographic Partitioning and
Spectrum Disaggregation Rules and
Policies for Certain Wireless Radio
Services, Second Report and Order and
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,
FCC 17–105, (WRS Reform Second
Report and Order)). Of relevance to the
information collection at issue here, the
Commission required that when
portions of geographic licenses are sold,
both parties to the transaction have a
clear construction obligation and
penalty in the event of failure.
Specifically, § 1.950(c) requires
parties seeking approval for geographic
partitioning, spectrum disaggregation, or
a combination of both must apply for a
partial assignment of authorization by
filing FCC Form 603 pursuant to § 1.948
of the Commission’s rules. Each request
for geographic partitioning must include
an attachment defining the perimeter of
the partitioned area by geographic
coordinates to the nearest second of
latitude and longitude, based upon the
1983 North American Datum (NAD83).
Alternatively, applicants may specify an
FCC-recognized service area (e.g., Basic
Trading Area, Economic Area, Major
Trading Area, Metropolitan Service
Area, or Rural Service Area), county, or
county equivalent, in which case,
applicants need only list the specific
FCC-recognized service area, county, or
county equivalent names comprising the
partitioned area. Additionally,
applicants have the option to submit
geographic data associated with
applications to partition and/or
disaggregate their license using a
shapefile, KML or Geojson file format.
In addition, § 1.950(d) requires
applicants for geographic partitioning,
spectrum disaggregation, or a
combination of both, to include, if
applicable, a certification with their
partial assignment of authorization
application stating which party will
meet any incumbent relocation
requirements, except as otherwise stated
in service-specific rules. Further,
§ 1.950(g) provides parties to geographic
50423
partitioning, spectrum disaggregation, or
a combination of both, with two options
to satisfy service-specific performance
requirements (i.e., construction and
operation requirements). Under the first
option, each party may certify that it
will individually satisfy any servicespecific requirements and, upon failure,
must individually face any servicespecific performance penalties. Under
the second option, both parties may
agree to share responsibility for any
service-specific requirements. Upon
failure to meet their shared servicespecific performance requirements, both
parties will be subject to any servicespecific penalties.
The Commission seeks approval for
revisions to its currently approved
collection of information under OMB
Control Number 3060–0800 to permit
the collection of the additional
information in connection with partial
assignments of authorizations for
geographic partitioning, spectrum
disaggregation, or a combination of
both, pursuant to the rules and
information collection requirements
adopted by the Commission in the WRS
Reform Second Report and Order. We
do not anticipate that these revisions
will impact the collection filing burden.
