The Commission is revising this collection for minor changes in wording on the FCC Form 608 data elements, adding a question inquiring if filing is the lead application on the Main Form, and changing wording in the instructions. The Commission is adjusting the number of respondents and the cost burden. This decrease is due to a decrease in the number of respondents/responses and therefore the total annual hour and cost burdens have been reduced.
