Abstract: On February 15, 2012, Federal Communications Commission (Commission) adopted and released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in WT Docket No. 12-40, FCC 12-20, to amend Parts 1 and 22 of the Commission's rules to change the licensing model for the 800 MHz Cellular Radiotelephone (Cellular) Service from site-based to geographic-based, and to delete obsolete provisions associated with the legacy site-based regime. Subsequently, on November 7, 2014, the Commission adopted a Report and Order (R&O) in that same proceeding (WT Docket No. 12-40; FCC 14-181). In addition to rule revisions that do not affect this information collection, in connection with changing to geographic-based licensing, the Commission adopted a revised rule Section 22.948(a), which governs Cellular Service providers that apply for Partitioning and Disaggregation. Specifically, when the Cellular Service provider submits FCC Form 603 to apply for Partitioning and Disaggregation, the revised rule Section 22.948(a) adopted in the R&O requires the electronic submission of maps (in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) format and PDF). The Commission is now seeking Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a revision of the collection because the map submission requirement for Cellular licensees very slightly increases the total annual burden hours. FCC Form 603 itself is not being revised.
