Disclosure Requirements.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, Individuals or
households, Not-for-profit institutions,
and State, Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 84,048 respondents; 84,050
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .166
hours (10 minutes)—4 hours.
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping and third-party
disclosure requirements; on occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection is contained
in 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 309(j).
Total Annual Burden: 116,306 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
This information collection contains
personally identifiable information (PII).
The FCC has a system of records notice
(SORN), FCC/WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless
Services Licensing Records,’’ to cover
the collection, maintenance, use(s), and
destruction of this PII, which
respondents may provide to the FCC as
part of the information collection
requirement(s). This SORN was
published in the Federal Register on
April 5, 2006 (71 FR 17234).
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) as an extension after this 60-day
comment period to obtain the full threeyear clearance from them.

applicants and licensees, who
previously used a myriad of forms for
various wireless services and types of
requests, in order to provide the
Commission information that has been
collected in separate databases, each for
a different group of services. Such
processes have resulted in unreliable
reporting, duplicate filings for the same
licensees/applicants, and higher cost
burdens to licensees/applicants. By
streamlining the Universal Licensing
System (ULS), the Commission
eliminates the filing of duplicative
applications for wireless carriers;
increases the accuracy and reliability of
licensing information; and enables all
wireless applicants and licensees to file
all licensing-related applications and
other filings electronically, thus
increasing the speed and efficiency of
the application process. The ULS also
benefits wireless applicants/licensees by
reducing the cost of preparing
applications, and speeds up the
licensing process in that the
Commission can introduce new entrants
more quickly into this already
competitive industry. Finally, ULS
enhances the availability of licensing
information to the public, which has
access to all publicly available wireless
licensing information on-line, including
maps depicting a licensee’s geographic
service area.

information system is being updated.
Upon completion it will be posted at:
https://www.fcc.gov/general/privacyact-information#pia.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The FCC is not requesting that
respondents submit confidential
information to the Commission. If the
FCC requests that respondents submit
information which respondents believe
is confidential, respondents may request
confidential treatment of such
information pursuant to Section 0.459 of
the FCC’s rules, 47 CFR 0.459. The FCC
has a system of records, FCC/OMD–25,
Financial Operations Information
System (FOIS), to cover the collection,
purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and
disposal of the personally identifiable
information (PII) that individual
respondents may submit on FCC Form
161, which is posted at: https://
www.fcc.gov/general/privacy-actinformation#systems.
Needs and Uses: After respondents
have registered in CORES and have been
issued a FCC Registration Number
(FRN), they may use FCC Form 161 to
update and/or change their contact
information, including name, address,
telephone number, email address(es),
fax number, contact representative,
contact representative’s address,
telephone number, email address, and/
or fax number. Respondents may also
update their registration information in
CORES on-line at https://apps.fcc.gov/
cores. The Commission uses this
information to collect or report on any
delinquent debt arising from the
respondent’s business dealings with the
FCC, including both ‘‘feeable’’ and
‘‘nonfeeable’’ services; and to ensure
that registrants (respondents) receive
any refunds due. Use of the CORES
System is also a means of ensuring that
the Commission operates in compliance
with the Debt Collection Improvement
Act of 1996.
