SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collection. 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. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid control number. No 
person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a 
collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a 
valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before April 17, 
2017. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0800.
    Title: FCC Application for Assignments of Authorization and 
Transfers of Control: Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and/or Public 
Safety and Homeland Security Bureau.
    Form Number: FCC Form 603.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals and households; Business or other for-
profit entities; Not-for-profit institutions; and State, local or 
tribal government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 2,447 respondents and 2,447 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5-1.75 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement, on occasion 
reporting requirement and periodic reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
47 U.S.C. 154, 155, 158, 161, 301, 303(r), 308, 309, 310 and 332.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,759 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $366,975.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general there is no need 
for confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: FCC Form 603 is a multi-purpose form used to apply 
for approval of assignment or transfer of control of licenses in the 
wireless services. The data collected on this form is used by the FCC 
to determine whether the public interest would be served by approval of 
the requested assignment or transfer. This form is also used to notify 
the Commission of consummated assignments and transfers of wireless 
and/or public safety licenses that have previously been consented to by 
the Commission or for which notification but not prior consent is 
required. This form is used by applicants/licensees in the Advanced 
Wireless Services, Public Mobile Services, Personal Communications 
Services, General Wireless Communications Services, Private Land Mobile 
Radio Services, Broadcast Auxiliary Services, Broadband Radio Services, 
Educational Radio Services, Fixed Microwave Services, Maritime Services 
(excluding ships), and Aviation Services (excluding aircraft).
    The purpose of this form is to obtain information sufficient to 
identify the parties to the proposed assignment or transfer, establish 
the parties basic eligibility and qualifications, classify the filing, 
and determine the nature of the proposed service. Various technical 
schedules are required along with the main form applicable to Auctioned 
Services, Partitioning and Disaggregation, Undefined Geographical Area 
Partitioning, Notification of Consummation or Request for Extension of 
Time for Consummation.
    The data collected on FCC Form 603 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 use an FRN.
    On July 20, 2015, the Commission released the Part 1 R&O in which 
it updated many of its Part 1 competitive bidding rules (See Updating 
Part 1 Competitive Bidding Rules; Expanding the Economic and Innovation 
Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions; Petition of 
DIRECTV Group, Inc. and EchoStar LLC for Expedited Rulemaking to Amend 
Section 1.2105(a)(2)(xi) and 1.2106(a) of the Commission's Rules and/or 
for Interim Conditional Waiver; Implementation of the Commercial 
Spectrum Enhancement Act and Modernization of the Commission's 
Competitive Bidding Rules and Procedures, Report and Order, Order on 
Reconsideration of the First Report and Order, Third Order on 
Reconsideration of the Second Report and Order, and Third Report and 
Order, FCC 15-80, 30 FCC Rcd 7493 (2015), modified by Erratum, 30 FCC 
Rcd 8518 (2015) (Part 1 R&O)). Of relevance to the information 
collection at issue here, the Commission: (1) Modified the eligibility 
requirements for small business benefits, and updated the standardized 
schedule of small business sizes, including the gross revenues 
thresholds used to determine eligibility; (2) established a new bidding 
credit for eligible rural service providers; and (3) adopted targeted 
attribution rules to prevent the unjust enrichment of ineligible 
entities. The updated Part 1 rules apply to applicants seeking licenses 
and permits.
    Additionally, on June 2, 2014 the Commission released the Mobile 
Spectrum Holdings R&O, in which the Commission updated its spectrum 
screen and established rules for its upcoming auctions of low-band 
spectrum. Of relevance to the information collection at issue here, the

[[Page 10769]]

Commission stated that it could reserve spectrum in order to ensure 
against excessive concentration in holdings of below-1-GHz spectrum (In 
the Matter of Policies Regarding Mobile Spectrum Holdings, Expanding 
the Economic and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive 
Auctions, FCC 14-63, Report and Order, 29 FCC Rcd 6133, 90 ] 135 (2014) 
(Mobile Spectrum Holdings R&O). See also Application Procedures for 
Broadcast Incentive Auction Scheduled to Begin on March 29, 2016; 
Technical Formulas for Competitive Bidding, Public Notice, 30 FCC Rcd 
11034, Appendix 3 (WTB 2015); Wireless Telecommunications Bureau 
Releases Updated List of Reserve-Eligible Nationwide Service Providers 
in each PEA for the Broadcast Incentive Auction, Public Notice, AU No. 
14-252 (WTB 2016).
    The Commission seeks approval for revisions to its previously 
approved collection of information under OMB Control Number 3060-0800 
to permit the collection of the additional information for Commission 
licenses and permits, pursuant to the rules and information collection 
requirements adopted by the Commission in the Part 1 R&O and the Mobile 
Spectrum Holdings R&O. As part of the collection, the Commission is 
seeking approval for the information collection and recordkeeping 
requirements associated with FCC Form 603.
    In addition, the Commission seeks approval for various other, non-
substantive editorial/consistency edits and updates to FCC Form 603 
that correct inconsistent capitalization of words and other 
typographical errors, and better align the text on the form with the 
text in the Commission rules both generally and in connection with 
recent non-substantive, organizational amendments to the Commission's 
rules. Also, in certain circumstances, the Commission requires the 
applicant to provide copies of their agreements. We do not anticipate 
that these revisions will impact the collection filing burden.
    The Commission therefore seeks approval for a revision to its 
currently approved information collection on FCC Form 603 to revise FCC 
Form 603 accordingly.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1058.
    Title: FCC Application or Notification for Spectrum Leasing 
Arrangement: Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and/or Public Safety 
and Homeland Security Bureau
    Form Number: FCC Form 608.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit 
institutions; and State, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 991respondents and 991 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5-1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement, on occasion 
reporting requirement and periodic reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
47 U.S.C. 154, 155, 158, 161, 301, 303(r), 308, 309, 310 and 332.
    Total Annual Burden: 996 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $1,282,075.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general there is no need 
for confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: FCC Form 608 is a multipurpose form. It is used to 
provide notification or request approval for any spectrum leasing 
arrangement (``Leases'') entered into between an existing licensee 
(``Licensee'') in certain wireless services and a spectrum lessee 
(``Lessee''). This form also is required to notify or request approval 
for any spectrum subleasing arrangement (``Sublease''). The data 
collected on the form is used by the FCC to determine whether the 
public interest would be served by the Lease or Sublease. The form is 
also used to provide notification for any Private Commons Arrangement 
entered into between a Licensee, Lessee, or Sublessee and a class of 
third-party users (as defined in Section 1.9080 of the Commission's 
Rules).
    On July 20, 2015, the Commission released the Part 1 R&O in which 
it updated many of its Part 1 competitive bidding rules (See Updating 
Part 1 Competitive Bidding Rules; Expanding the Economic and Innovation 
Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions; Petition of 
DIRECTV Group, Inc. and EchoStar LLC for Expedited Rulemaking to Amend 
Section 1.2105(a)(2)(xi) and 1.2106(a) of the Commission's Rules and/or 
for Interim Conditional Waiver; Implementation of the Commercial 
Spectrum Enhancement Act and Modernization of the Commission's 
Competitive Bidding Rules and Procedures, Report and Order, Order on 
Reconsideration of the First Report and Order, Third Order on 
Reconsideration of the Second Report and Order, and Third Report and 
Order, FCC 15-80, 30 FCC Rcd 7493 (2015), modified by Erratum, 30 FCC 
Rcd 8518 (2015) (Part 1 R&O)). Of relevance to the information 
collection at issue here, the Commission: (1) Modified the eligibility 
requirements for small business benefits, and updated the standardized 
schedule of small business sizes, including the gross revenues 
thresholds used to determine eligibility; (2) established a new bidding 
credit for eligible rural service providers; and (3) adopted targeted 
attribution rules to prevent the unjust enrichment of ineligible

licenses, leases, and permits.
    Additionally, on June 2, 2014 the Commission released the Mobile 
Spectrum Holdings R&O, in which the Commission updated its spectrum 
screen and established rules for its upcoming auctions of low-band 
spectrum. Of relevance to the information collection at issue here, the 
Commission stated that it could reserve spectrum in order to ensure

the Economic and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive

(Mobile Spectrum Holdings R&O). See also Application Procedures for

Releases Updated List of Reserve-Eligible Nationwide Service Providers 
in each PEA for the Broadcast Incentive Auction, Public Notice, AU No. 
14-252 (WTB 2016).
    The Commission seeks approval for revisions to its previously 
approved collection of information under OMB Control Number 3060-1058 
to permit the collection of the additional information for Commission 
licenses, leases and permits, pursuant to the rules and information 
collection requirements adopted by the Commission in the Part 1 R&O and 
the Mobile Spectrum Holdings R&O. As part of the collection, the 
Commission is seeking approval for the information collection and 
recordkeeping requirements associated with FCC Form 608.
    In addition, the Commission seeks approval for various other, non-
substantive editorial/consistency edits and updates to FCC Form 608 
that correct inconsistent capitalization of words and other 
typographical errors, and better align the text on the form with the 
text in the Commission rules both generally and in connection with

rules. Also, in certain circumstances, the Commission requires the 
applicant to provide copies of their agreements. We do not anticipate 
that these revisions will impact the collection filing burden.
    The Commission therefore seeks approval for a revision to its 
currently approved information collection on FCC Form 608 to revise FCC 
Form 608 accordingly.
