Abstract: FCC Form 605 is a multi-purpose form used to apply for an authorization to operate radio stations and perform a variety of other miscellaneous tasks in the Ship, Aircraft, Amateur, Restricted and Commercial Radio Operators, and General Mobile Radio Services. The Commission is submitting this collection as a revision to 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 §§ 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.
