SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0139.
    Title: Application for Antenna Structure Registration and Antenna 
Structure.
    Form Numbers: FCC 854, FCC 854 R, and FCC 854 ULS.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit 
institutions; Individuals or households; and State, Local, or Tribal 
Government.
    Number of Respondents: 4,500.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 5 mins. (50 responses/yr.).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements; Third 
party disclosure.
    Total Annual Burden: 6,750 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $181,800.
    Needs and Uses: FCC Forms 854/854 R are to register structures used 
for wire or radio communication services within the United States, or 
to make changes to an existing registered structure, or to notify the 
Commission of the dismantlement of a structure. This revision seeks 
approval to combine FCC FCC Forms 854 ULS and 854 O, due to the costs 
involved in programming separate forms for electronic filing. FCC 854 
ULS will collect Taxpayer Information Number (TIN) of the antenna 
structure owner. Additionally, the form collects a Sub-Group 
Identification Number (SGIN) in cases where an entity such as a 
governmental entity or academic institution is divided into separate 
groups where each is responsible for its own registration. Antenna 
structure owners will be required to file either the current form or 
the new form, depending upon the timeframe in which the Antenna 
Structure Registration database is converted to ULS. Owners will be 
required to file the current form 854 until such time as a public 
notice is issued announcing conversion to ULS and requirements to begin 
using the Form 854 ULS, then Form 854 process will no longer be 
available.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0801.
    Title: Amendment of the Commission's Rules Regarding Installment 
Payment Financing for Personal Communications (PCS) Licenses, FCC 98-
176, WT Docket No. 97-82, Fourth Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd 15,743 
(1988), 63 FR 50,791 (September 23, 1998).
    Form Numbers: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit 
institutions; Individuals or households; and State, Local, or Tribal 
Government.
    Number of Respondents: 750.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 15 mins. (0.25 hrs.).
    Frequency of Response: One time reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 188 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Needs and Uses: The Fourth Report and Order, in WT Docket No. 97-
82, 47 CFR 1.2105 (a)(2)(xi), 24.709 (a)(5), requires each applicant 
for C Block Broadband PCS Spectrum to attach to its short-form 
application a statement indicating (under penalty of perjury) whether 
or not the applicant has ever been in default on any FCC licensees or 
has ever been delinquent on any non-tax debt owed to any Federal 
agency. This information allows the FCC to determine the amount of the 
upfront payment to be paid by each applicant and will help to ensure 
that C Block Auctions are conducted fairly and efficiently, thereby 
speeding the flow of payments to the U.S. Treasury and accelerating the 
provisions of PCS Spectrum to the public.

Assistant Secretary.
