FCC Form 601 is a multi-purpose form
used to apply for an authorization to operate radio stations, amend
pending application, modify existing licenses and perform a variety
of other miscellaneous tasks in the Public Mobile Services,
Personal Communications Services, General Wireless Communications
Services, Private Land Mobile Radio Services, Broadcast Auxiliary
Services, Fixed Microwave Services, Maritime Services (excluding
ships) and Aviation Services (excluding aircraft). On June 2, 2014,
the Commission released a Second Report and Order FCC 14-62, WT
Docket Nos. 08-166 and 08-167 and ET Docket No. 10-24, "Revisions
to Rules Authorizing the Operation of Low Power Auxiliary Stations
in the 698-806 MHz Band." This order expanded eligibility for low
power auxiliary station licenses under Part 74 by adding two new
categories of eligible entities: "large venue owner or operator"
and "professional sound company." To accommodate these changes we
are revising Schedule H of Form 601 to add two new categories of
eligible entities: "large venue owner or operator" and
"professional sound company." In order to be eligible for a Part 74
license, a large venue owner or operator and a professional sound
company must routinely use 50 or more low power auxiliary station
devices, where the use of such devices is an integral part of major
events or productions. We also increased the number of respondents
by 200 responses to include these new applicants. Additionally, on
March 31, 2014 the Commission released a Report and Order FCC
14-31, GN Docket No. 13-185, "Amendment of the Commission's Rules
with Regard to Commercial Operations in the 1695-1710 MHz,
1755-1780 MHz, and 2155-2180 MHz Bands", as a result of this order
we are revising the Form 601 certification instructions to read as
follows: By signing this form, the Applicant certifies that the
statements listed in this section are true, complete, correct, and
made in good faith. General Certification (9) is required for
applications for licenses for spectrum that is required by Sections
6103, 6401-6403 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act
of 2012, codified at 47 U.S.C. §§ 309, 1413, 1451-1452, to be
assigned by a system of competitive bidding under 47 U.S.C. §
309(j). Currently, this certification applies to applications for
licenses in radio service AH (AWS-H Block at 1915-1920 MHz and
1995-2000 MHz) and radio service AT (AWS-3, 1695-1710 MHz,
1755-1780 MHz and 2155-2180 MHz). For purposes of this
certification, the term "reasons of national security" means
matters relating to the national defense and foreign relations of
the United States. This submission documents a non-substantive
change to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C.
§ 3507. This submission seeks to make minor changes to FCC Form 601
instructions for the Schedule H Items 13-14, to include the
following note: "If you enter L [Large Venue Owner]or P
[Professional Sound Company] as the appropriate code, include on an
attachment to your application the following certification and sign
and date the certification: 'The applicant hereby certifies that it
routinely uses 50 or more low power auxiliary station devices,
where the use of such devices is an integral part of major events
or productions.' See 47 CFR § 74.832(e)."
