continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or

respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0850.
Title: Quick-Form Application for Authorization in the Ship,
Aircraft, Amateur, Restricted and Commercial Operator, and General
Mobile Radio Services.
Form Number: FCC 605.
Type of Review: Revision to an Existing Collection.
Respondents: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit; Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 175,000.
Estimated Time Per Response: 0.44 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; third
party disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 77,000 hours.
Total Respondent Cost: $2,537,500.
Needs and Uses: FCC Form 605 is a consolidated application form for
Ship, Aircraft, Amateur, Restricted and Commercial Radio Operators, and
General Mobile Radio Services that is used to collect licensing data
for the Universal Licensing System (ULS). The form has been revised to
add a Schedule G for applicants that require exemption from the radio
provisions of ship station requirements, replacing FCC Form 820; to
create a new operator class code for the Restricted and Commercial
Radio Operators; to eliminate the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN);
and to clarify various general instructions. Although FCC Form 605
collects the Commercial Operator licensees' date of birth, this
information will be redacted from public view. These revisions have,
consequently, increased both the number of applicants (respondents) who
file Form 605 and the estimated total annual hour burden.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
