SUMMARY: The Federal Communications
Commission, as part of its 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(s), as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that
does not display a valid control number.
Comments are requested concerning (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
DATES: Persons wishing to comment on
this information collection should
submit comments July 11, 2005. If you
anticipate that you will be submitting
comments, but find it difficult to do so
within the period of time allowed by
this notice, you should advise the
contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) comments to
Judith B. Herman, Federal
Communications Commission, 445 12th

DC 20554 or via the Internet to JudithB.Herman@fcc.gov.

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for
profit and not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 53.
Estimated Time per Response: 5
minutes (.084 hours).
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 220 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The ABIP is an
agreement between the Federal
Communications Commission’s
Enforcement Bureau and an entity,
usually a state broadcast association, in
which the entity arranges for the
inspection of the broadcast station to
determine compliance with FCC
regulations. The inspections are
conducted on a voluntary basis and the
entities notify the local FCC District
Office or Resident Agent office, in
writing via letter of those stations that
pass the ABIP inspection and have been
granted a Certificate of Compliance. The
FCC’s Enforcement Bureau standardized
the existing Alternative Broadcast
Inspection Program (ABIP) in 2003 to
establish a specific, uniform
arrangement for the inspection of
broadcast stations. This information will
be used by FCC to determine which
broadcast stations comply with FCC
Rules and will not be subject to routine
inspections conducted by the FCC’s
District Offices. Without this
information, the FCC would not be able
to determine which stations should be
exempt from random inspections.

amended to acquire domestic interstate
transmission lines through a transfer of
control. Under section 214 of the Act,
E:\FR\FM\11MYN1.SGM
11MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 11, 2005 / Notices
carriers must obtain FCC approval
before constructing, acquiring, or

line. Acquisitions involving interstate
common carriers require affirmative
action by the FCC before the acquisition
can occur. The Commission is
requesting extension (no change) to this
information collection in order to obtain
the full three-year clearance. After this
60 day comment period has ended, the
Commission will submit this
information collection to OMB for
approval.

Title: FCC Application for Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau Radio
Service Authorization.
Form No.: FCC Form 601.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit,
not-for-profit institutions, and state,
local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 250,520.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1.25
hours.
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping requirement, third party
disclosure requirement, and on occasion
and every 10 year reporting
requirements.
Total Annual Burden: 219,205 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $50,104,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
adopted and released two rulemakings
that revised this information collection.
FCC 04–135 now includes the addition
of radio services: Broadband Radio
(formerly Multipoint Distribution
Service radio service); Educational
Broadband Services (formerly the VX
radio service); and a new Schedule E
has been created for the technical data
for these services. FCC 04–23 made
changes to Schedules D, I and M to
items concerning the Quiet Zone. The
requirements include: (1) To provide for
immediate processing of applications
that may implicate Quiet Zones, in the
event that the applicant indicates that it
has obtained consent, if required by
section 1.924, of the Quiet Zone entity;
(2) to clarify that applicants may
provide notification to and begin
coordination with Quiet Zone entities,
where required, in advance of filing an
application with the Commission; (3)
amend section 101.31(b)(1)(v) to permit
Part 101 applicants to initiate

conditional operation, provided they
have obtained prior consent of the Quiet
Zone entity to the extent required, and
are otherwise eligible to initiate
conditional operations over the
proposed facility; similarly, the Bureau
clarifies that, for services in which
individual station licenses are not
issued, licensees may initiate operations
immediately upon receipt of the Quiet
Zone entity’s consent; and (4) to clarify
that either the applicant or the
applicant’s frequency coordinator may
notify and initiate any required
coordination proceedings with the Quiet
Zone entity.
Note: For purposes of simplicity, all areas
implicated by section 1.924 will be referred
to as ‘‘Quiet Zones.’’ We note that the only
area with the formal designation of ‘‘Quiet
Zone’’ is the National Radio Quiet Zone,
which encompasses the National Radio
Astronomy Observatory and the Naval Radio
Research Observatory.
The Commission uses the information
provided by applicants on the FCC
Form 601 to update its database and to
determine where the applicant is
legally, technically and financially
qualified to provide licensed services
and to make proper use of the frequency
spectrum.
