Abstract: The rules require small business applicants to submit ownership information and gross revenut calculations, and all applicants must submit joint bidding agreements. In the case of default, the FCC retains the discretion to reauction such licenses. Finally, licensees transferring licensees within three years are required to maintain a file of all documents and contracts pertaining to the transfer. Certification is required for entities dropping out of auction to secure certain ownership interests in participants.

Short Statement: The Commission conducted a comprehensive review of this information collection and has determined that most of the burden previously approved by the OMB under this OMB control number are now covered under OMB Control Number 3060-0600 (FCC Form 175) and OMB Control Number 3060-0798 (FCC Form 601). None of the reporting, recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure requirements have changed. Therefore, the Commission is seeking an extension (no change in those requirements). However, we are reporting a significant 390,300 hourly burden reduction adjustment and a $23,946,750 annual cost reduction.
