relevance to the information collection at issue here, the Commission 
amended 47 CFR 1.2110(n), which requires designated entity licensees to 
file with the Commission an annual report for each license it holds 
that was acquired using designated entity benefits and that, as of 
August 31 of the year in which the report is due, remains subject to 
designated entity unjust enrichment requirements. Because the 
Commission amended 47 CFR 1.2110(n), the Commission is also amending 
FCC Form 611-T, which is the form that is used to collect this 
information.
