On April 25, 2006, the Commission adopted and released a Second Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in FCC 06-52, WT Docket No. 05-211 which modified the Commission's rules regarding the collection of information regarding eligibility for designated entity benefits pursuant to 47 CFR sections 1.2110(n) and 1.2114. The Second Report and Order specifically required licensees that have designated entity benefits to: (1) submit annual report to the Commission on new FCC Form 611-T; and (2) report certain agreements and arrangements entered into by the designated entity licensee, called "reportable eligibility events" that may affect a licensee's eligibility for designated entity benefits and are reported on new FCC Form 609-T.
On June 2, 2006, the Commission, on its own motion, released an Order on Reconsideration of the Second Report and Order in FCC 06-78, WT Docket No. 05-211 which reconsidered and re-clarified its newly-adopted rules, including those resulting in the information collections that are subject of this emergency request. A copy of the entire OMB submission may be found under the ADDRESSES section of this Federal Register.

On April 25, 2006, the Commission adopted and released a Second Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in FCC 06-52, WT Docket No. 05-211. This rulemaking will become effective thirty days after publication in the Federal Register. The Commission is now revising FCC Form 602 instructions to require that designated entities have updated and complete FCC Form 602's on file with the Commission whenever a designated entity files an application for approval of a reportable eligibility event. All designated entities are required to have an FCC Form 602 on file, so a designated entity applying for approval of a reportable eligibility event will have to check its Form 602 to ensure that it is complete and, if it is not complete, file an updated version. This emergency request is to implement interim procedures to allow the Commission to collect information regarding the ownership of a designated entity when an application is filed seeking approval of a reportable eligibility event will not change the questions on the Form or the substance of the information collected in any way. We note that, if the information on the designated entity's FCC Form 602 is complete and accurate when an application seeking approval for a reportable eligibility event is filed, the designated entity will not have to file a new or updated FCC Form 602. A copy of the entire OMB submission may be found under the ADDRESSES section of this Federal Register. Please look for the OMB control number (3060-0799) in our PRA Web site.
Federal Communications Commission.
