Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 114 / Wednesday, June 15, 2005 / Notices
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for
profit.
Number of Respondents: 50.
Estimated Time Per Response: 0.7
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement, recordkeeping
requirement and third party disclosure
requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 35 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $6,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: This rule section
requires that if airports have control
towers or Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) flight service
stations, and should more than one
licensee want to have an automated
aeronautical advisory station
(‘‘unicom’’), the licensees must write an
agreement outlining who will be
responsible for the unicom’s operation,
sign the agreement, and keep a copy of
the agreement with each licensee’s
station authorization. The information
will be used by compliance personnel
for enforcement purposes and by
licensees to clarify responsibility in
operating unicom.
OMB Control No.: 3060–0882.
Title: Section 95.833, Construction
Requirements.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households; business or other for profit.
Number of Respondents: 1,468.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: Every 10 year
reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 1,468 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No.
Needs and Uses: Section 95.833
requires each 218–219 MHz service
system license to file a report after ten
years of the license grant to demonstrate
that the licensee provides substantial
service to its service areas. The
information is used by Commission staff
to assess compliance with 218–219 MHz
service construction requirements, and
to provide adequate spectrum for the
service. This will facilitate spectrum
efficiency and competition by the 218–
219 MHz service licensees in the
wireless marketplace. Without this
information, the Commission would not
be able to carry out its statutory
responsibilities.

hours.
Frequency of Response: One time
reporting requirement and third party
disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 4,885 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $661,125.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The labeling
requirement, education requirement,
and software/coding requirement are all
needed to make all parties involved in
emergency calls originating from noninitialized and ‘‘911 only’’ phones
aware that the calling party cannot be
reached for further information. This is
necessary to advise the public and
emergency workers of this limitation,
and to advise them in using such
phones in emergency situations to
provide as much critical location
information must be supplied to the
Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs)
as quickly as possible in the originating
call.

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, Pub. L. 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

(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: Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before July 15, 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 comments
regarding this Paperwork Reduction Act

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–1080.
Title: Improving Public Safety
Communications in the 800 MHz Band.
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 and tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 2,500.
Estimated Time Per Response: 3—8
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement and third party
disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 27,162 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking extension (no change) to this
information collection in order to obtain
the full three year clearance from the
OMB. This information collection
contains reporting and third party
disclosure requirements to resolve
interference to public safety (e.g., police,
fire, and other emergency first
responders) communications in the 800
MHz band that are cause by Cellular
Radiotelphone and Enhanced
Specialized Mobile Radio (ESMR)
operators. After exploring all possible
technical remedies, the Commission
adopted a two-prong approach to
resolving interference.
In the short-term, the Commission’s
rules will abate interference to the

extent possible. The most important of
these rules imposes responsibility on
the interfering carriers to remedy
interference in a timely manner.
In the long-term, the Commission
concluded that the entire 800 MHz band
must be restructured. Band restructuring
or reconfiguration refers to spectrally
segregating public safety and ESMR
operators as far as technically possible.
To this end, Nextel Communications
Inc. (Nextel) will secure a $2.5 billion
letter (letters) of credit to pay for band
reconfiguration. Without Nextel’s
support, public safety licensees could
not afford the costs of relocating their
systems. This information collection
includes the following requirements: (1)
Prior notification; (2) electronic
database; (3) response to interference
complaints; (4) clear and imminent
danger; (5) relocation agreements; and
(6) Transition Administrator.
The information collection
requirements and third party disclosure
requirements will be used by the
Commission to ensure that Cellular/
ESMR, Public Safety, Critical
Infrastructure Industry (CII), and other
800 MHz licensees comply with
interference mitigation and frequency
relocation requirements in an orderly,
timely, comprehensive fashion with no
unnecessary delay.

NPSPAC Regions Assigned to Wave 1
and Specific 800 MHz Reconfiguration
Benchmark Compliance Dates
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: As part of the 800 MHz band
reconfiguration process, the
Commission stated that it would issue a
public notice thirty days before
reconfiguration is scheduled to start in
each NPSPAC region. Each such public
notice will specify a three-month
voluntary negotiation period during
which time identified licensees in the
regions being reconfigured are
encouraged to reach agreement with
Nextel on the details of relocating. The
voluntary negotiation period would be
followed by a three-month mandatory
negotiation period, if necessary. The
Commission also stated that it would
freeze the filing of certain 800 MHz
applications for the regions being
reconfigured when it issued a public
notice announcing the date when
voluntary negotiation of relocation
agreements must be concluded. The
Commission explained that this freeze is
necessary in order to maintain a stable
spectral landscape during the
reconfiguration process in each region.
Finally, the Commission noted that the
start date for reconfiguration in the first
NPSPAC region will also be the start
date for computation of two interim
reconfiguration benchmarks (eighteen
and thirty months) and the start date for
determining when reconfiguration must
be completed (thirty-six months).
DATES: This notice announces that 800
MHz band reconfiguration shall
commence on June 27, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a
summary of a public notice released on
May 27, 2005.
1. In July 2004, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted a Report and Order (69 FR
67823, November 22, 2004), which
reconfigured the 800 MHz band to
eliminate interference to public safety
and other land mobile communication
systems operating in the band. As
