FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Public Information Collections Approved by Office of Management 
and Budget

April 26, 2006.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collections pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a 
person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless 
it displays a currently valid control number.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Mock, Federal Communications 
Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554, (202) 418-7234 
or via the Internet at Jennifer.Mock@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-1090.
    OMB Approval Date: 4/26/2006.
    OMB Expiration Date: 4/30/2009.
    Title: Order and Implementing Public Notices Requiring BRS Channels 
1 and/or 2/2A Licensees to File Data on the Construction Status and/or 
Operational Parameters of Each System.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 150 respondents; 131 annual burden hours; 
.50-1.25 hours per respondent.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission has received OMB approval for a 
collection contained in an Order (FCC 05-172) which requires licensees 
of Broadband Radio Services (BRS) Channels 1 and 2/2A to file 
information on the construction status and/or operation parameters of 
each system. The Commission is seeking information on non-subscriber 
locations and operating characteristics of BRS receivers and other 
system characteristics of BRS incumbents (including operations by 
lessees) not currently collected on FCC Form 601 for this service.
    This one-time collection is necessary because BRS Channels 1 and/or 
2/2A are currently licensed at 2150-2150/62 MHz, which the Commission 
has designated for Advanced Wireless Services (AWS). The Commission 
also has announced that it intends to auction AWS licenses for 2150-
2155 MHz, among other bands, starting in June 2006. Future AWS 
licensees will be obligated to relocate incumbent BRS operations in the 
2150-2160/62 MHz band to comparable facilities, most likely within the 
newly restructured 2.5 GHz band.
    In the Order, the Commission concluded that reliable, public data 
on each incumbent BRS system that will be subject to relocation is 
essential in advance of this planned spectrum auction and that neither 
the Commission nor the public has reliable, up-to-date information on 
the construction status and/or operational parameters of these BRS 
systems.
    Accordingly, the Commission ordered licensees of BRS Channels 1 and 
2/2A to submit information, listed in the Order, after the staff issues 
Public Notice(s) setting forth the specific data required, deadlines, 
and the procedures for filing this information electronically on the 
Commission's Universal Licensing System (ULS), where it will be 
available to the public. To assist in determining the scope of the new 
AWS entrants' relocation obligations, the Commission ordered BRS 
licensees in the 2150-2160/62 MHz band to provide the required data 
within 60 days and 120 days of the effective date of its Order, noting 
that these dates would correspond to OMB approval of the information 
collection, i.e., PRA requirements for the ULS.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
