institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 2,500 respondents; 12,726 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 3.334 hours (average burden per

    Needs and Uses: In a Fourth Memorandum Opinion and Order, FCC 08-
83, adopted on March 20, 2008, the Commission adopted Wireless 
Communications Association International, Inc's. (WCA) modified 
proposal regarding the formula used to calculate height benchmarking 
and clarifying how non-contiguous licensees calculate their height 
benchmark. Because licensees are now required under 47 CFR 27.1221(f) 
to provide the geographic coordinates, the height above ground level of 
the center of radiation for each transmit and receive antenna, and the 
date transmissions commenced for each of the base stations in its 
geographic service area (GSA) within 30 days of receipt of a request 
from a co-channel, neighboring Broadband Radio Service/Educational 
Broadband Service (BRS/EBS) licensee(s).
    The Commission is revising this information collection to add the 
requirement referenced above from the 4th MO&O and to eliminate the 
requirement for Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPD) Opt-
Out (Waiver Requests) that sunset on April 30, 2007. That option is no 
longer available and is being removed from this information collection.
    The information will be used to notify third parties and to prevent 
harmful interference to licensees' BRS/EBS operations.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
