FCC Form 601 is a consolidated, multi-part application form that is used for market-based and site-based licensing for wireless telecommunications services, including public safety, which are filed through the Commission’s Universal Licensing System (ULS). FCC Form 601 is composed of a main form that contains administrative information and a series of schedules used for filing technical and other information. This form is used to apply for a new license, to amend or withdraw a pending application, to modify or renew an existing license, cancel a license, request a duplicate license, submit required notifications, request an extension of time to satisfy construction requirements, request an administrative update to an existing license (such as mailing address change), or request a Special Temporary Authority or Developmental License. Respondents are encouraged to submit FCC Form 601 electronically and are required to do so when applying for an authorization for which the applicant was the winning bidder in a spectrum auction. The data collected on FCC Form 601 includes the FCC Registration Number (FRN), which serves as a “common link” for all filings an entity has with the FCC. The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 requires entities filing with the Commission to use an FRN. On July 14, 2016, the Commission released a Report and Order, FCC 16-89, in which it established the Upper Microwave Flexible Use Service authorizing mobile use in the 27.5-28.35 GHz, 37-38.6 GHz, and 38.6-40 GHz (39 GHz) bands. Of relevance to the information collection at issue here, the Commission established a process by which 39 GHz licensees can conduct a voluntary, pre-auction license swap or exchange which would give licensees the opportunity to consolidate their licensed blocks into larger tranches of contiguous spectrum thereby leaving more valuable empty contiguous channel blocks for the Commission to auction. The Commission seeks approval for revisions to its currently approved collection of information under OMB Control Number 3060-0798 to permit the collection of the additional information for Commission licenses and permits, pursuant to the information collection requirements adopted by the Commission in the Spectrum Frontiers R&O, including the provisions authorizing voluntary channel swaps. We are revising schedule E of form 601 to allow licensees to file a modification to indicate active licenses and leases they are requesting authorization to swap. We do not anticipate that this revision will have any impact on the burden to complete the form.
