Download as PDF 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. OMB Control No.: 3060–0987. Title: 911 Callback Capability; Noninitialized Phones. Form No.: N/A. VerDate jul<14>2003 17:57 Jun 14, 2005 Jkt 205001 Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other for profit, and state, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents: 3,137. Estimated Time Per Response: 1–3 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.

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.

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.

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.
