Supplementary Information
A Federal Register notice published on May 9, 1996 indicated that this collection was being reviewed under delegated authority. Since publication of that notice the collection has been slightly modified. Therefore, the Commission is submitting the collection to OMB for review and approval. OMB Approval Number: 3060-0053. Title: Application for Consent to Transfer of Control of Corporation Holding Station License. Form No: 703. Type of Review: Revision of an existing collection. Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not for profit institutions. Number of Respondents: 757. Estimated Time Per Response: 36 minutes. Total Annual Burden: 454 hours. Estimated Respondent Costs: $34,000. Needs and Uses: FCC Rules require that applicants in the Private Land Mobile, General Mobile, Marine, Aviation and Experimental Radio Services submit FCC Form 703 whenever it is proposed to change, as by transfer of stock ownership, the control of a station. This form is required by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended; International Radio Regulations, General Secretariat of International Telecommunications Union and FCC Rules--47 CFR Parts 1.922, 1.924, 5.55, 80.19, 87.21, 87.31, 90.119, and 95.111. The form is being revised to delete reference to Part 94 applicants (as a result of Part 101, these applicants will no longer be required to file on FCC 703). A space has been added for the applicant to provide an Internet address. This will provide an additional contact media should the FCC have any questions concerning the filing. As a result of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, the FCC is required to collect the Taxpayer Identification Number. A space has been provided on the form for applicant's Employee Identification Number. This form is only filed by corporate applicants therefore, no reference is made to a Social Security Number. In addition, the drug certification question has been deleted and this certification requirement has been included with the certification text. The information will be used by the Commission to determine continued eligibility for licensees. Without this information, violations of ownership regulations could occur.
