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. The Commission needs to update the events that trigger a requirement that the FCC Form 602-Ownership Report be current and complete. Pursuant to the Commission Order, the Form 602 will need to be updated and complete whenever a designated entity files an application on Form 609-T for approval of a reportable eligibility event of any kind. All designate entities have a Form 602 on file, so a designated entity will have to check its 602 to ensure that it is complete and, if not complete, file an updated version.
