subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of
information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB
control number.
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), the FCC invited the general public and other Federal Agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the following information
collection. Comments are requested concerning: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; and (d) 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. Pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of
2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks
specific comment on how it might ``further reduce the information
collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25
employees.''

Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring

FCC Form 609-T is used by Designated Entities (DEs) to request prior
Commission approval pursuant to Section 1.2114 of the Commission's
rules for any reportable eligibility event. The data collected on the
form is used by the FCC to determine whether the public interest would
be served by the approval of the reportable eligibility event.
FCC Form 611-T is used by DE licensees to file an annual report,
pursuant to Section 1.2110(n) of the Commission's rules, related to
eligibility for designated entity benefits.
The information collected will be used to ensure that only
legitimate small businesses reap the benefits of the Commission's
designated entity program. Further, this information will assist the
Commission in preventing companies from circumventing the objectives of
the designated entity eligibility rules by allowing us to review: (1)
The FCC 609-T applications seeking approval for ``reportable
eligibility events'' and (2) the FCC Form 611-T annual reports to
ensure that licensees receiving designated entity benefits are in
compliance with the Commission's policies and rules.
Federal Communications Commission.

Deputy Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
