Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to

unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for

you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email

    Form Number: FCC Form 601.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals and households; Business or other for-

    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154, 154(i), 155(c), 157, 201, 202, 208, 214, 301, 
302a, 303, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 314, 316, 319, 324, 331, 332, 333, 
336, 534, 535 and 554.
    Total Annual Burden: 222,055 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $71,306,250.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general, there is no need

    Needs and Uses: FCC Form 601 is a consolidated, multi-part 
application form that is used for market-based and site-based licensing 
for wireless telecommunications services, including public safety 
licenses, which are filed through the Commission's Universal Licensing 
System (ULS). FCC Form 601 is composed of a main form that contains 
administrative information and a series of schedules used for filing 
technical and other information. This form is used to apply for a new 
license, to amend or withdraw a pending application, to modify or renew 
an existing license, cancel a license, request a duplicate license, 
submit required notifications, request an extension of time to satisfy 
construction requirements, or request an administrative update to an 
existing license (such as mailing address change), request a Special 
Temporary Authority or Developmental License. Respondents are 
encouraged to submit FCC Form 601 electronically and are required to do 
so when submitting FCC Form 601 to apply for an authorization for which 
the applicant was the winning bidder in a spectrum auction.
    The data collected on FCC Form 601 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.
    The FCC Form 601 is being revised by Sections 90.35, 90.20 and 
90.175 to require third party disclosures by wireless license 
applicants proposing to operate a vehicular repeater units on 
designated frequencies. They are required to obtain written concurrence 
of a frequency coordinator. This information submitted as an attachment 
to FCC form 601 will be used by Commission personnel in evaluating the 
applicant's need for such frequencies and to minimize the interference 
potential to other stations operating on the proposed frequencies.
