Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 23, 2005 / Notices Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third party disclosure requirement. Total Annual Burden: 8,635 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 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. With this submission, the 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 FCCdefined areas). As a result of this change the number of respondents required to meet the requirements of Section 101.1440 decreased from 354 to 214. OMB Control No.: 3060–1026. Title: Section 101.1417, Annual Report. Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit. Number of Respondents: 214. Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour. Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement. Total Annual Burden: 214 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Needs and Uses: Section 101.1417 requires MVDDS licensees to file with VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:33 Nov 22, 2005 Jkt 208001 the Commission two copies of a ‘‘license information report’’ by March 1st of each year for the preceding calendar year. This annual report must include the name and address of the licensee; the station(s) call letters and primary geographic service area(s); and statistical data for the licensee’s station. With this submission, the 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 FCCdefined areas).

Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third party disclosure requirement. Total Annual Burden: 1,001 hours. Total Annual Cost: $402,175. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Needs and Uses: A carrier must generally obtain landing rights approval 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. The Commission is submitting this information collection to the OMB as a revision.

We do not know the specific time frame for the development of each application. However, we estimate that the projected completion date for all cable landing license applications is December 31, 2008. The development of the applications is contingent upon the availability of budget funds, human resources, and other factors. Therefore, the annual burden hours and costs are unknown at this time because the forms have not been developed by the Commission yet. Therefore, this submission to OMB does not reflect any change in the annual burden hours and annual costs. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary.
