of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), 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

    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 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

[[Page 18906]]

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,

(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: 991 respondents 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 
entities. The updated Part 1 rules apply to applicants seeking 
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 
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;

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 
recent non-substantive, organizational amendments to the Commission's 
rules.

[[Page 18907]]

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.

    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; and individuals 
and households.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 6 respondents; 3,450,036 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.008 hours (about 30 seconds) to 250 
hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and quarterly reporting 
requirements; Recordkeeping requirement; and Third party disclosure 
requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for the collection is contained in sections 1, 2,

1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i), 154(j), 225, 251, 255, 
303(r).
    Total Annual Burden: 52,334 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: $2,206,200.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of 
confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does 
not require the collection of personally identifiable information from 
individuals.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The telecommunications relay service (TRS) program 
enables access to the nation's telephone network by persons with 
hearing and speech disabilities. Between 2008 and 2011, the Commission 
adopted rules in three separate orders related to the telephone 
numbering system and enhanced 911 (E911) services for users of two 
forms of Internet-based TRS: Video Relay Service (VRS); and Internet 
Protocol Relay service (IP Relay). See document FCC 08-151, Report and 
Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (First Numbering 
Order), published at 73 FR 41286, July 18, 2008; document FCC 08-275, 
Second Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration (Second Numbering 
Order), published at 73 FR 79683, December 30, 2008; and document FCC 
11-123, Report and Order (iTRS Toll Free Order), published at 76 FR 
59551, September 27, 2011.
    The rules adopted in these three orders have the following 
information collection requirements:
    (A) Routing Information. VRS and IP Relay providers must obtain and 
retain current routing information from their registered users.
    (B) Provision of Routing Information. VRS and IP Relay providers 
must provision and maintain their registered users' routing information 
to the TRS Numbering Directory.
    (C) Registered Location. VRS and IP Relay providers must obtain 
from each newly registered user the physical location at which the 
service will be utilized (the user's Registered Location) and offer 
their registered users one or more methods of updating their physical 
location.
    (D) Provision of Registered Location. Each VRS and IP Relay 
provider must place its registered users' Registered Location and 
certain callback information into, or make that information available 
through, Automatic Location Information (ALI) databases across the 
country.
    (E) User Notification. Every VRS or IP Relay provider must include 
an advisory on its Web site and in any promotional materials addressing 
numbering and E911 services for VRS or IP Relay.
    (F) Affirmative Acknowledgements. VRS and IP Relay providers must 
obtain and keep a record of affirmative acknowledgement from each of 
their registered users of having received and understood the user 
notification.
    (G) Ascertaining Registration Status of VRS or IP Relay User. Every 
VRS and IP Relay provider must verify whether a dial-around user is 
registered with another provider. Because there is only one IP Relay 
provider, dial-around service is not used with IP Relay at this time.
    (H) Verifying Registration and Eligibility Information. Every VRS 
and IP Relay provider must institute procedures to verify the accuracy 
of registration information, and include a self-certification component 
requiring consumers to verify that they have a disability necessitating 
their use of TRS.
    (I) Commission Approval for the Pass Through of Numbering Costs. 
Each VRS or IP Relay provider wishing to pass through certain 
numbering-related costs to its users must obtain Commission approval to 
do so.
    (J) Information Sharing After a Change in Default Providers. Each 
VRS provider that provides equipment to a consumer must make available 
to other VRS providers enough information about that equipment to 
enable another VRS provider selected as the consumer's default provider 
to perform all of the functions of a default provider.
