December 12, 2018

Federal Communications Commission

Explanation of Non-Substantive Changes to OMB Control Number: 3060-0139:

• Application for Antenna Structure Review, FCC Form 854.

Purpose of this Submission: This submission documents a non-substantive change request to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. This submission seeks to make non-substantive changes to FCC Form 854 instructions for Item 1, 52-55, and 56-59 to clarify and add, that the signature of both the assignor and assignee are required for Ownership Change applications. By doing this, the FCC is addressing the Security Risk in the current process where an Ownership Change purpose on FCC Form 854 can be submitted and automatically granted without prior approval of the currently registered owner. Additionally, item 42 is being updated to incorporate the FAA’s new Advisory Circular, 70/7460-1L, dated December 4, 2015.

 

Summary of Changes to FCC Form 854 for the instructions to Items 1, 42, 52-55, and 56-59

The Form 854 instructions for items 1 is amended to add the assignor must provide an FRN and fill in and sign the form for Ownership Change applications, item 42 is updated to incorporate the FAA’s new Advisory Circular, 70/7460-IL, dated December 4, 2015, items 52-55 is updated to clarify that Ownership Change Applications must contain signature of both assignor and assignee, and items 56-59 is added to incorporate the new instructions required for Ownership Change applications.

Item 1 instructions are amended as follows:

Current text:

OC = Ownership Change. Enter OC in the brackets to indicate that this is an application to notify the Commission of a change in ownership for a registered antenna structure. Provide the seven-digit antenna structure registration number in Item 2A or, if you are requesting an ownership change to more than one registration, provide the antenna structure registration numbers on FCC Form 854, Schedule A. Note: For an ownership change, the assignee (i.e., the entity acquiring ownership of the structure) must provide the new ownership information and sign the form at Items 52-55. The only information required of the assignor (i.e. the entity to whom the structure is currently registered) is Item 5. A change in ownership does not require environmental notice.
