based long distance carriers in the call
path, if any, and define these carriers as
‘‘Intermediate Carriers;’’ and (5) give
parties flexibility to agree to alternative
compensation arrangements (ACA) so
that small Completing Carriers may
avoid the expense of instituting a
tracking system. The revisions adopted
in the 2018 Report and Order
significantly decreased the paperwork
burden on carriers.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for

submitting a request to the Office of
Budget and Management (OMB) for
approval of the FCC Form 601–2.0, a
new data collection that will gradually
replace the FCC Form 601 ((3060–0798).
The Commission is implementing a new
electronic licensing system called
Universal Licensing System 2.0 (ULS
2.0) to replace the current Universal
Licensing System (ULS). Services will
gradually be moved to the new ULS 2.0,
beginning with market-based Special
Temporary Authority (STA)
applications. The burden hours and
DATES:
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
costs associated with market-based
STAs will now be a part of the ULS 2.0
system and FCC Form 601–2.0. The FCC
Form 601–2.0 will be a consolidated
electronic data collection for marketbased and site-based licensing for
wireless telecommunications services,
including public safety, which will be
filed through the Commission’s
modernized Universal Licensing System
2.0 (ULS–2.0). This form will gradually
replace the FCC Form 601 (3060–0798)
as services are moved from legacy ULS
to ULS 2.0. The substance of and
wording of the FCC Form 601 data
collection will remain the same in the
new system. The data collected in ULS
2.0 consists of administrative, technical,
and other information needed for
licensing if wireless radio services.
Once fully implemented, this system
will be used to submit all Wireless
Services applications along with any
supporting documentation. The
application purposes include: Applying
for a new license (including STA’s)
modifying or renewing an existing
license, cancelling a license, submitting
required notifications, requesting an
extension of time to satisfy construction
requirements, and requesting an
administrative update to an existing
license (such as mailing address
change). Applicants can also amend or
withdraw applications while they are
pending in ULS.2.0. The data collected
in ULS 2.0 includes 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
requires entities filing with the
Commission to use an FRN. ULS 2.0
data 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.
