SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-0799.
Title: FCC Ownership Disclosure Information for the Wireless
Telecommunications Services.
Form No.: FCC Form 602.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit
institutions; and State, Local or Tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 4,115.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.5-1.5 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this collection of this information is
contained in Sections 154(i), 303(g), 303(r), and 332(c)(7) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The statutory authority for
this collection of this information is contained in Sections 154(i),
303(g), 303(r), and 332(c)(7) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 5,217 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $762,300.
Needs and Uses: The FCC Form 602 is necessary to obtain the
identity of the filer and to elicit information required by Section
1.2112 of the Commission's rules regarding: (1) Persons or entities
holding a 10 percent or greater direct or indirect ownership interest
or any general partners in a general partnership holding a direct or
indirect ownership interest in the applicant (``Disclosable Interest
Holders''); and (2) All FCC-regulated entities in which the filer or
any of its Disclosable Interest Holders owns a 10 percent or greater
interest. The data collected on the FCC Form 602 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 that entities filing with the Commission use an FRN.
The FCC Form 602 was designed for, and must be filed electronically by,
all licensees that hold licenses in auctionable services.
The FCC Form 602 is comprised of the Main Form containing
information regarding the filer and the Schedule A is used to collect
ownership data pertaining to the Disclosable Interest Holder(s). Each
Disclosable Interest Holder will have a separate Schedule A. Thus, a
filer will submit its FCC Form 602 with multiple copies of Schedule A,
as necessary, to list each Disclosable Interest Holder and associated
information.
