SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a revision of a
currently approved public information collection pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number, and no person is required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid control number.
Comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimates and any
suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cathy Williams, Office of the Managing
Director, at (202) 418-2918, or email: [email protected].

[[Page 39124]]
confidentiality. The Commission is required to withhold from disclosure
certain information about the individual such as date of birth or
telephone number. FCC 605 application is a consolidated application
form for Ship, Aircraft, Amateur, Restricted and Commercial Radio
Operators, and General Mobile Radio Services and is used to collect
licensing data for the Universal Licensing System. The Commission is
requesting OMB approval for an extension (no change in the reporting,
recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure requirements). The
Commission is making minor clarifications to the instructions on the
main form and schedule B as well as a clarification to Item 3 on the
main form. 4 The data collected on this form includes the Date of Birth
for Commercial Operator licensees however this information will be
redacted from public view.
Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes.
Needs and Uses: The FCC uses the information in FCC Form 605 to
determine whether the applicant is legally, technically, and
financially qualified to obtain a license. Without such information,
the Commission cannot determine whether to issue the licenses to the
applicants that provide telecommunication services to the public, and
therefore, to fulfill its statutory responsibilities in accordance with
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The Commission is revising
the basic qualifications section of the form to include a question
regarding whether an application has been convicted of a felony in any
state or federal court. Applicants, answering yes must provide an
explanation. This item enables the FCC to determine whether an
Applicant is eligible under Sec. Sec. 310(d) and 308(b) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to hold or have ownership
interest in a station license. In addition we are seeking approval to
change the ship application form require the applicant provide the
official ship number. Coast Guard requests we change this question from
optional to required. Obtaining the ship number is the only way to
reliably link a license to a specific vessel. The Information provided
on this form will also be used to update the database and to provide
for proper use of the frequency spectrum as well as enforcement
purposes.
