Events and Annual Reports.
Form Nos.: FCC Forms 609–T and
611–T.
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: 1,000
respondents; 2,500 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: .50–6
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion

Total Annual Burden: 6,625 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $1,358,750.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as an extension (no change
in reporting requirements) after this 60
day comment period to Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in order
to obtain the full three year clearance.
FCC Form 609–T is used by
Designated Entities (Des) to request
prior Commission approval pursuant to
47 CFR 1.2114 of the Commission’s
rules for any reportable eligibility event.
The data collected on the form is used
by the FCC to determine whether the
public interest would be served by the
approval of the reportable eligibility
event. FCC Form 611–T is used by DE
licensees to file an annual report,
pursuant to 47 CFR 1.2110(n) of the
Commission’s rules, related to eligibility
for designated entity benefits.
There is no change to the estimated
average burden or number of
respondents.
OMB Control Number: 3060–XXXX.

Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 306
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve the establishment of a
new collection for surrenders of
authorizations for international carriers
(214 authorizations), space stations and
earth stations. A surrender of
authorization is the licensee’s voluntary
cancellation of a license (or
authorization) to provide international
telecommunications services, such as
discontinuing operation of a space
station.
This new collection is being initiated
as a result of the Commission’s release
of a Public Notice (DA 06–569) on
March 15, 2006 titled, ‘‘International
Bureau Announces New and Improved
Filing Modules Within Its MyIBFS
Electronic Filing System: Surrender of
Authorization and Improved Space
Station Milestone Filing.’’ The Public
Notice announced the International
Bureau’s launching of an E-filing
module for surrendering authorizations
and an improved milestone filing
module for satellite space stations
within its MyIBFS consolidated
licensing and electronic filing system.
(Note: The OMB approved the electronic
filing of milestones under OMB Control
No. 3060–1007).
Additionally, the Commission is
requesting the OMB’s approval of
mandatory electronic filing of
surrenders of authorizations that do not
fall under Part 25 of the Commission’s
rules. Currently, the surrender module
is available to licensees in MyIBFS who
are not required to comply with Part 25
on a voluntary basis. (Note: The OMB
approved electronic filing of all Part 25related applications and associated
documents under OMB Control No.
3060–0678).
Without this collection of
information, licensees would be
required to submit surrenders of
authorizations to the Commission by
letter which is more time consuming
than submitting such requests to the
Commission electronically. In addition,
Commission staff would spend an
extensive amount of time processing
surrenders of authorizations received by
letter. The collection of information
saves time for both licensees and
Commission staff since they are
received in MyIBFS electronically and
include only the information that is

essential to process the requests in a
timely manner. Furthermore, the Efiling module expedites the Commission
staff’s announcement of surrenders of
authorizations via Public Notice.

New Broadband Radio Service (BRS)
and Educational Broadband Service
(EBS) band plan transitions take place
in Basic Trading Areas (BTAs), which
will provide both incumbent licensees
and potential new entrants in the 2495–
2690 MHz band with greatly enhanced
flexibility to encourage the efficient and
effective use of spectrum domestically
and internationally and the growth and
rapid development of innovative and
efficient communications technologies
and services.
The information collection
requirements are contained in the
following rule sections: 1) the pretransition data request (47 CFR
27.1231(e)); 2) the transition notice (47
CFR 27.1231(e)); 3) the Initiation Plan
(47 CFR 27.1231(f)); and 4) the posttransition notification (47 CFR 27.1235).
The Pre-transition data request will be
collected by a third-party proponent
(proponent) to assist in the transitioning
the 2500–2690 MHz band. The
proponent may use a variety of
methods, including a computerized
database. The proponent will send the
transition notice to all BRS and EBS
licensees in the BTA that the proponent
is transitioning. The FCC will collect the
Initiation Plan and the Post-transition
Notification from the proponent to
