Commercial Broadcast Station.
Form Number: FCC Form 323.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 to

Needs and Uses: Each permittee of a
commercial AM, FM, TV, and
international broadcast station must file
FCC Form 323, Ownership Report,
within 30 days of the FCC granting their
application for an original construction
permit, the consummation, pursuant to
FCC consent, of a transfer of control or
an assignment of a construction permit,
and when it files its license for the new
station. Each license of a commercial
AM, FM, TV, and international
broadcast station must file FCC Form
323 with 30 days of the consummation,
pursuant to FCC consent, of a transfer of
control or an assignment of license,
when it files its station’s renewal
application, and every two years
thereafter. Data on the FCC Form 323
helps to determine whether the
licensee/permittee meets the FCC’s
multiple ownership requirements and
complies with the Communications Act.
The race/ethnicity/gender question on
the form indicates current minority and
female ownership of broadcast facilities
and the efficacy of FCC Rules to
promote opportunities for small
businesses and minority and femaleowned businesses in the broadcasting
industry.

opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) 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: Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before November 25,

submitting PRA comments, but find it

Judith B. Herman, Federal
Communications Commission, Room 1C804, 445 12th Street, SW., DC 20554 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–1030.
Title: Service Rules for Advanced
Wireless Services in the 1.7 GHz and 2.1
GHz Bands.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit, Federal Government, and state,
local and tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 500.
Estimated Time Per Response: .50
hours–10 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement, recordkeeping
requirement and third party disclosure
requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 6,505 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
adopted and released a Report and
Order in WT Docket No. 02–353, FCC
03–251, which adopts service, licensing,
and competitive bidding rules for
advanced wireless services in the 1710–
1755 MHz and 2110–2155 MHz bands.
These bands have previously been used
for a variety of government and nongovernment services. The R&O allocates
these frequency bands for fixed and
mobile services to as to provide for the
introduction of new advanced wireless
services to the public. In the R&O, the
Commission is enabling service
providers to put this spectrum to its
highest value use with minimal
transaction costs. By the end of its
license term a licensee must provide
‘‘substantial service’’ that is, service that
is sound, favorable and substantially
above the level of mediocre service that
just might minimally warrant renewal.
Compared to a construction standard,
section 27.14(a)’s substantial service
requirement will provide licensees
greater flexibility to determine how best
to implement their business plans based
on criteria demonstrating actual service
to end users. This requirement provides
the flexibility required to accommodate
the new and innovative services that we
believe will be forthcoming in these
bands.
The Commission is imposing three
information collection burdens on the
public. They are: (1) Foreign ownership
change submission; (b) showing of
compliance with substantial service
requirement; and (3) interference
coordination. Such information has
been used in the past and will continue
