Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 23, 2005 / Notices
Needs and Uses: In the Fifth Report
and Order, the Commission permits
price cap LECs to introduce new
services on a streamlined basis, without
prior approval. The Commission
modified the rules to eliminate the
public interest showing required by
Section 69.4(g) and to eliminate the new
services test (except in the case of loopbased new services) required under
Sections 61.49(f) and (g). These
modifications eliminated the delays that
existed for the introduction of new
services as well as to encourage efficient
investment and innovation.
The Commission no longer requires
an incumbent LEC to introduce a new
service by filing a waiver under Part 69
of the Commission’s rules. Instead,
incumbent LECs are allowed to file a
petition for the new service based on a
public interest standard. After the first
incumbent LEC has satisfied the public
interest requirement for establishing
new rate elements for a new switched
access service, other incumbent price
cap LECs can file petitions seeking
authority to introduce identical rate
elements for identical new services, and
their petitions will be reviewed within
ten days. If the Common Carrier Bureau
(now the Wireline Competition Bureau)
does not act within the prescribed time,
authority to establish the rate elements
in question are deemed granted. In the
event the Bureau denies an incumbent
LEC’s initial petition, or a subsequent
petition filed by another incumbent
LEC, the petitioner must file a Part 69
waiver petition.

Secretary.

number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act 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 January 23, 2006.
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: You may submit your
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
comments by e-mail or U.S. postal mail.
To submit you comments by e-mail send
them to: PRA@fcc.gov. To submit your
comments by U.S. mail, mark it to the
attention of Judith B. Herman, Federal
Communications Commission, 445 12th
Street, SW., Room 1–C804, Washington,

Title: Compatibility of Wireless

Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households, business or other for-profit,
not-for-profit institutions, and state,
local or tribal government.

Needs and Uses: The rules in this
proceeding requires that analog cellular
phones include a separate capability for

processing 911 calls that permits those
calls to be handled, where necessary, by
either cellular carrier in the area. This
rule applies to new handsets
manufactured for sale in the United
States after 02/13/00. The rulemaking
also sets forth guidelines for 911 call
completion methods that satisfy the
Commission’s rules and approved three
methods for compliance with the call
completion rules, Automatic A/B
Roaming-Intelligent Retry, Adequate/
Strongest Signal, and Selective Retry.
Manufacturers may satisfy their
requirement by selecting any one of
these methods, all of which entail
software or hardware modifications.
This information submitted by
manufacturers or carriers wishing to
incorporate new or modified E911 call
processing modes will be used to keep
the Commission informed of
technological developments and thus to
ensure that the Commission’s
regulations are kept current and reflect
the preferences of the industry in
complying with E911 call completion
regulations. The rulemaking also
supported as a voluntary measure (not
a requirement) industry efforts to
educate users of analog phones with
regard to capabilities of the A over B, B
over A, (A/B, B/A) logic for 911 calls.
This approach would provide that all
analog cellular calls, including 911
calls, would be routed to the customer’s
preferred carrier if a usable channel is
available. If a channel is not available,
the handset would automatically switch
to a usable channel on the other cellular
carrier’s system. The industry program
to educate users should also inform
customers of the possibility that an
A/B, B/A approach could produce
unexpected and wanted roaming
charges in the case of ordinary calls.

requires MVDDS licensees to conduct a
survey of the area around its proposed
transmitting antenna site to determine
the location of all DBS customers of
record that may potentially be affected
by the introduction of its MVDDS
service. At least 90 days prior to the
planned date of MVDDS
commencement of operations, the
MVDDS licensee must then provide
specific information to the DBS
licensee(s). Alternatively, MVDDS
licensees may obtain a signed written
agreement from DBS customers of
record stating that they are aware of and
agree to their DBS system receiving
MVDDS signal levels in excess of the
appropriate Equivalent Power Flux
Density (EPFD) limits. The DBS licensee
must thereafter provide the MVDDS
licensee with a list of only those new
DBS customer locations that have been
installed in the 30-day period following
the MVDDS notification that the DBS
licensee believes may receive harmful
interference or where the prescribed
EPFD limits may be exceeded. If the
MVDDS licensee determines that its
signal level will exceed the EPFD limit
at any DBS customer site, it shall take
whatever steps are necessary, up to and
including finding a new transmitter site.

if it wants to land an undersea cable
onto another country’s shores. For
example, if a carrier wants to land a
cable upon U.S. shores, the carrier must
first obtain permission from the U.S.
government before it may do so. These
situations are governed by the Cable
Landing License Act, which gives the
President of the United States broad
discretion to grant, withhold, condition
or revoke cable landing licenses under
certain conditions. By Executive Order
10530, the Commission has been
delegated responsibility for issuing
cable landing licenses.

Commission is revising this information collection because on July 7,
2003, the Commission released a Third Report and Order in ET Docket No.
98-206 (FCC 03-152) that decreased the number of MVDDS license areas
from 354 Component Economic Areas (CEAs) to 214 license areas (210
Designated Market Areas (DMAs) and four FCC-defined areas). As a result
of this change the number of respondents required to meet the
requirements of Section 101.1413 decreased from 354 to 214.

Needs and Uses: Section 101.1440 requires MVDDS licensees to
conduct a survey of the area around its proposed transmitting antenna
site to determine the location of all DBS customers of record that may
potentially be affected by the introduction of its MVDDS service. At
least 90 days prior to the planned date of MVDDS commencement of
operations, the MVDDS licensee must then provide specific information
to the DBS licensee(s). Alternatively, MVDDS licensees may obtain a
signed written agreement from DBS customers of record stating that they
are aware of and agree to their DBS system receiving MVDDS signal
levels in excess of the appropriate Equivalent Power Flux Density
(EPFD) limits. The DBS licensee must thereafter provide the MVDDS
licensee with a list of only those new DBS customer locations that have
been installed in the 30-day period following the MVDDS notification
that the DBS licensee believes may receive harmful interference or
where the prescribed EPFD limits may be exceeded. If the MVDDS licensee
determines that its signal level will exceed the EPFD limit at any DBS
customer site, it shall take whatever steps are necessary, up to and
including finding a new transmitter site.
