FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection(s). 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 the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 
employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No person 
shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection 
of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does 
not display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before June 25, 2013. If you anticipate that you will 
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: For information regarding this information collection, 
contact Judith B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, via the 
Internet at [email protected]. To submit your PRA comments by 
email send them to: [email protected].

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47

1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 5,215 hours.

    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general there is no need 
for confidentiality. On a case by case basis, the Commission may be 
required to withhold from disclosure certain information about the 
location, character, or ownership of a historic property, including 
traditional religious sites.
    Needs and Uses: The purpose of the FCC Form 602 is to obtain the 
identity of the filer and to elicit information required by 47 CFR 
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 partner 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 Act of 1996 
requires that entities filing with the Commission use a FRN. The FCC 
Form 602 was designed for, and must be filed electronically by all 
licensees that hold licenses in auctionable services.

Federal Communications Commission.
