Abstract: The Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve an extension of an information collection titled, "Consummations of Assignments and Transfers of Control of Authorization." A consummation is a party's notification to the Commission that a transaction (assignment or transfer of control of authorization) has been completed. The Commission developed a consummation module in its electronic filing system, International Bureau Filing System (IBFS), to facilitate the parties' notification to the Commission of such transactions.The consummation module keeps Commission staff abreast of critical information, such as a change in a controlling interest in the ownership of the licensee.
