Explanation of Non-Substantive Changes to OMB Control Number: 3060-0798:
Changes to the FCC Form 601 Schedule H Items 13-14.
Purpose of this Submission: 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).”
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 these two new categories of eligible entities: “large venue owner or operator” and “professional sound company.” OMB approved these revisions to the 601 on December 5, 2014.
