Abstract: The Commission created interim procedures to implement information collections that were adopted by a Commission Order that generally became effective on June 5, 2006. These interim procedures are necessary as the Commission will need time to implement permanent procedures and forms fully integratable with our Universal Licensing System. The FCC will use the information collected to ensure that only legitimate small businesses reap the benefits of the Commission's designated entity program.
