Abstract: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) requests approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a revision to a currently approved collection on FCC Form 175 under OMB Control Number 3060-0600, with no change in burden estimates. The currently approved collection requires a minor revision to include an additional certification on FCC Form 175 that requires an Auction 110 applicant to certify that it has read the public notice that describes procedures for the auction and that it has familiarized itself both with the auction procedures and with the requirements for obtaining a license and operating facilities in the 3.45-3.55 GHz band. Please see the non-substantive change justification for the reason behind this change request to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval.
