Download as PDF 13328 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 50 / Wednesday, March 15, 2006 / Proposed Rules claiming small business status won. At present, there are approximately 24,000 Private-Paging site-specific licenses and 74,000 Common Carrier Paging licenses. Also, according to Commission data, 375 carriers reported that they were engaged in the provision of either paging or messaging services, or other mobile services. Of those, the Commission estimates that 370 are small, under the SBA-approved small business size standard. b. Internet Service Providers 37. Internet Service Providers. The SBA has developed a small business size standard for Internet Service Providers (ISPs). ISPs ‘‘provide clients access to the Internet and generally provide related services such as Web hosting, Web page designing, and hardware or software consulting related to Internet connectivity.’’ Under the SBA size standard, such a business is small if it has average annual receipts of $21 million or less. According to Census Bureau data for 1997, there were 2,751 firms in this category that operated for the entire year. Of these, 2,659 firms had annual receipts of under $10 million, and an additional 67 firms had receipts of between $10 million and $24,999,999. Consequently, we estimate that the majority of these firms are small entities that may be affected by our action. In addition, limited preliminary census data for 2002 indicate that the total number of internet service providers increased approximately five percent from 1997 to 2002. sroberts on PROD1PC70 with PROPOSALS 4. Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Other Compliance Requirements 38. In the FNPRM, we seek comment on whether we should extend mandatory thousands-block number pooling by giving states delegated authority to implement mandatory thousands-block number pooling at their discretion. We also see comment on whether we should, alternatively, continue to review requests from states for authority to extend mandatory thousands-block number pooling on a case-by-case basis. We also seek comment on what criteria we should use for such a review. If we extend thousands-block number pooling, beyond the top 100 MSAs, carriers required by states to implement number pooling will be required to comply with the existing reporting and recordkeeping requirements for number pooling in part 52, subpart C of the Commission’s rules. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:20 Mar 14, 2006 Jkt 208001 5. Steps Taken To Minimize Significant Economic Impact on Small Entities, and Significant Alternatives Considered 39. The RFA requires an agency to describe any significant alternatives that it has considered in reaching its proposed approach, which may include the following four alternatives (among others): (1) The establishment of differing compliance and reporting requirements or timetables that take into account the resources available to small entities; (2) the clarification, consolidation, or simplification of compliance or reporting requirements under the rule for small entities; (3) the use of performance, rather than design, standards; and (4) an exemption from coverage of the rule, or part thereof, for small entities. 40. In the FNPRM, we seek comment on whether we should extend mandatory thousands-block number pooling by giving states delegated authority to implement mandatory thousands-block number pooling at their discretion. We also seek comment on whether we should, alternatively, continue to review requests from states for authority to extend mandatory thousands-block number pooling on a case-by-case basis. We also seek comment on what criteria we should use for such a review. If we adopt some form of additional number pooling, beyond the top 100 MSAs, more carriers may be required to comply with the filing requirements for number pooling. Expanding number pooling will, however, conserve numbering resources and will prevent or delay the adoption of other, possibly more burdensome, measures. 6. Federal Rules That May Duplicate, Overlap, or Conflict With the Proposed Rules None. IV. Ordering Clauses 41. Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in sections 1, 4(i), 251 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 251, and pursuant to section 52.9(b) of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 52.9(b), it is ordered that the Petition of the Nebraska Public Service Commission for Expedited Decision for Authority to Implement Additional Number Conservation Measures is granted; the Petition of the West Virginia Public Service Commission for Expedited Decision for Authority to Implement Additional Number Conservation Measures is granted; and the Petition of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission for Expedited Decision for Authority to PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 Implement Additional Number Conservation Measures is granted; the Petition of the Missouri Public Service Commission for Additional Delegated Numbering Authority to Implement Number Conservation Measures is granted; and the Petition of the Michigan Public Service Commission for Additional Delegated Authority over Numbering Resource Conservation Measures is granted. 42.

To accommodate this allotment, Petitioner requested the reclassification of Station KYQQ (FM) Channel 293C, Arkansas City, Kansas, to specify operation on Channel 293C0 pursuant to the reclassification procedures adopted by the Commission. Due to a failure to respond to an Order to Show Cause, Station KYQQ (FM) has been downgraded to Channel 293C0 to accommodate the Waukomis proposed allotment. Channel 292A can be allotted at Waukomis in compliance with the Commission’s minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 6.3 kilometers (3.9 miles) southwest of the community.
