Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested, 74008-74009 [05-23861]

Download as PDF 74008 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 239 / Wednesday, December 14, 2005 / Notices Title: Amendment of the Commission’s Rules Regarding the 37.0– 38.6 GHz and 38.6–40.0 GHz Bands, Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. 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, or tribal government. Number of Respondents: 700 (approximately 4 applicants for each of the 175 license areas). Estimated Time Per Response: 300 hours per auction bidder. Frequency of Response: Every 10 year reporting requirement. Total Annual Burden: 2,100 hours. Total Annual Cost: $315,000. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Needs and Uses: The Commission proposes to issue geographic area licenses for the 37.0–38.6 GHz band, or in the alternative, seeks comment on the possibility of using a first-come, firstserved link-by-link registration approach comparable to the 70/80/90 GHz Report and Order. In that proceeding, the Commission decided to issue non-exclusive nationwide licenses conditioned upon site and path-specific coordination wherein many service providers would engineer their systems to operate in close proximity, without causing mutual interference. In order to facilitate such coordination, the Commission adopted non-interference requirements and required all licensees to register their facilities in a database accessible to other licensees on a firstcome, first-served basis. Although the Commission determined not to impose a limit to the number of non-exclusive nationwide licenses, licensees would be required to construct individual links within 12 months after registering them. Our goal is to establish a flexible regulatory framework that would promote seamless deployment of a host of services and technologies in the 73 GHz and 42 GHz bands. We seek to enhance opportunities for deployment of broadband wireless services, foster effective competition, promote innovation and further our efforts for consistent rule application regarding broadband wireless services.
