Abstract: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is seeking to obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a revision to a currently approved collection, with no change in burden estimates. The currently approved collection requires a minor revision to require the submission of a signed acknowledgment with the FCC Form 175 to implement new note US91 in section 2.106 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US note 91, and new section 27.1134(f) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 27.1134(f). The Federal Communications Commission uses information collected in FCC Form 175 in determining whether applicants are legally, technically, and financially qualified to participate in Commission auctions for licenses or permits.
