SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–0805.
Title: Section 90.527, Regional Plan
Requirements; Section 90.523,
Eligibility; and Section 90.545, TV/DTV
Interference Protection Criteria
Form No: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and
state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 21,055
respondents; 21,175 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 2–982
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and one-time reporting requirements
and third party disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 186,082 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
submitting this information collection to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to request extension (no change)
to this information collection. Section
90.523 requires that nongovernmental
organizations that provide services
which protect the safety of life, or
property, obtain a written statement
from an authorizing state or local
government entity to support the
nongovernmental organization’s
application for the assignment of 700
MHz radio frequencies. Under Section
90.527 in order to prepare the regional
plans for the 700 MHz band, the
regional planning committees will
require input from those entities within
their regions that will be eligible to
receive licenses under the plans. Thus,
the entities that seek inclusion in the
plan in order to obtain licenses will be
third party respondents. Section 90.545
requires that public safety applicants
select one of three ways to meet TV/
DTV interference protection
requirements: (1) Utilize the geographic
separation in the rule; (2) submit an
engineering study to justify other
separations; or (3) obtain concurrence
from applicable TV/DTV station(s). This
will reduce the potential for interference
to public reception of the signals of
existing TV and DTV broadcast stations

transmitting on TV channels 62, 63, 64,
65, 67, 68 or 69. Commission personnel
will use the information it obtains to
assign licenses, and also use the
information to determine regional
spectrum requirements and to develop
technical standards. The information
will also be used to determine whether
prospective licensees will operate in
compliance with the Commission’s
rules. Without such information, the
Commission could not accommodate
regional requirements or provide for the
optimal use of the available frequencies.

on October 15, 2003 (68 FR 59335).
Mandatory electronic filing of
applications for Experimental Radio
licenses, including FCC Form 442
commenced on January 1, 2004. This
change is reflected in the amendments

Applicants that require an FCC
license to operate a new or modified
experimental radio station must file FCC
Form 442, as required by 47 CFR 5.55
(a), (b), and (c) and 5.59 of FCC Rules.
The FCC’s information technician and
engineers use the data supplied by
applicants in FCC Form 442 to
determine: (1) If the applicant is eligible
for an experimental license; the purpose
of the experiment; compliance with the
requirements of part 5 of the FCC Rules;
and (2) if the proposed operation will
cause interference to existing
operations. Thus, the FCC cannot grant
an experimental license without the
information contained on this form.

Summary of Order
On March 16, 2005, the Commission
approved the application of Allied
Communications International, Inc.
(‘‘ACI’’) to provide international voice
and data service between the United
States and Cuba. ACI filed an
application seeking authority pursuant
to section 214 to provide the service via
indirect transit through Mexico.
The Commission has authorized ACI
to provide service between the United
States and Cuba in accordance with the
provisions of the Cuban Democracy Act
of 1992. This will allow ACI to route its
voice and data traffic via a Qwest point
of presence in Florida to site facilities of
Comsat International. Comsat
International will then route the traffic
via network facilities made available by
several submarine cable systems. In
addition, the Commission granted ACI’s
request for permission to modify its
routing arrangement between the United
States and Mexico as new business and
technical developments may warrant.
ACI will be required to notify the
Commission of any such routing
changes. Under the guidelines
