interference contour (CIC) of a sitebased licensee in the Paging and
Radiotelephone Service—as well as the
Rural Radiotelephone Service and 800
MHz Specialized Mobile Radio
Service—over water on a secondary,
non-interference basis should be
classified as a minor (rather than major)
modification of a license. Such
reclassification would eliminate the
filing requirements associated with
these license modifications, but require
site-based licensees to provide the
geographic area licensee (on the same
frequency) with the technical and
engineering information necessary to
evaluate the site-based licensee’s
operation over water. The purpose of
this collection is to enable the
geographic licensee to have technical
and engineering information regarding a
site-based licensee’s operations over
water in order to guard against
unacceptable interference to its own
operations(s).

clarity of the information collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before January 29, 2007.
If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it

accordance with the timing and carrier
level tolerance requirements. If this
operation at variance is expected to
exceed 10 consecutive days, a
notification must be sent to the FCC.
The licensee must also notify the FCC
upon restoration of normal operations.
Furthermore, a licensee must send a
written request to the FCC if causes
beyond the control of the licensee

prevent restoration of normal operations
within 30 days. The FCC staff use the
data to maintain accurate and complete
technical information about a station’s
operation. In the event that a complaint
is received from the public regarding a
station’s operation, this information is

response.
OMB Control Number: 3060–1034.
Title: Digital Audio Broadcasting
Systems and Their Impact on the
Terrestrial Radio Broadcast Service
Broadcast Station Annual Employment
Report.
Form Number: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents: 1,200.
Estimated Time per Response: 2

and Order (‘‘Order’’), Digital Audio
Broadcasting Systems and Their Impact
on the Terrestrial Radio Broadcast
Service, FCC 02–286, MM Docket 99–
325, (67 FR 78193). Pursuant to this
Order, the Commission selected inband, on-channel (IBOC) as the
technology that permits AM and FM
radio broadcasters to introduce digital
operations efficiently and rapidly. In
addition, provisions of the Order
required radio station licensees to
provide information relative to
implementation of interim hybrid
digital operations. Implementation of
hybrid digital operations is entirely
voluntary. Commercial and
noncommercial AM and FM radio
stations that choose to begin hybrid
digital transmissions shall notify the
Commission within 10 days of the
commencement of digital operations.
The notification letter shall certify that
the digital operations conform to
applicable rule and standards.
Furthermore, implementation of the
notification letter eliminates both the
need for the FCC staff to issue a Special
Temporary Authority (STA) to the
broadcaster and for the broadcaster to
file and pay the initial and any
subsequent filing fees.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–1063.
Title: Global Mobile Personal
Communications by Satellite (GMPCS)
Authorization, Marketing and
Importation Rules.
Form No: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 19
respondents; 19 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 24
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and one-time reporting requirements,
recordkeeping requirement and third
party disclosure requirements.
Nature of Response: Mandatory.
Total Annual Burden: 483 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Entities may request confidential
treatment of their applications and
filings under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as an extension (no change
in reporting requirements,
recordkeeping requirements, and third
party disclosure requirements) after this
60-day comment period to Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in order
to obtain the full three-year clearance.
There is no change in the number of
respondents or burden hours. In 2003,
the Federal Communications
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) released a
Second Report and Order (FCC 03–283)
to adopt rules and policies pertaining to
portable GMPCS transceivers, which
include satellite telephones and other
portable transceivers operated by end
users for communication via direct
radio links with satellites. The
Commission requires interested parties
to obtain equipment authorization
pursuant to the certification procedures
in part 2 of the Commission’s rules. The
part 2 certification procedure requires
submission of an application (FCC Form
731) and exhibits to the Commission,
including test data showing that a
representative sample unit of the
PO 00000
Frm 00025

devices that would be covered by the
certification, meets the Commission’s
applicable technical requirements.
Note: The FCC Form 731 is approved by
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under OMB Control Number 3060–0057).
The requirement applies to devices imported,
sold, leased, shipped, or distributed after
November 19, 2004. Without this collection
of information, the Commission would not be
able to prevent interference and reduce the
radio-frequency (‘‘RF’’) radiation exposure
risk of GMPCS devices.
OMB Control No.: 3060–1066.
Title: Renewal of Application for
Satellite Space and Earth Station
Authorization.
Form No: FCC Form 312–R.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 6
respondents; 6 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 2
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Nature of Response: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 12 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $2,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as an extension (no change
in reporting requirements) after this 60day comment period to Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in order
to obtain the full three-year clearance.
There is no change in the number of
respondents or burden hours or annual
costs.
The FCC Form 312–R is used by earth
station licensees to request renewals of
their applications. The information
collection requirements are necessary to
determine the technical and legal
qualifications of applicants or licensees
to operate a station, transfer or assign a
license, and to determine whether the
authorization is in the public interest,
convenience and necessity. All renewal
earth station applications filed under
part 25 are included in this collection.
Without such information, the
Commission could not determine
whether to permit respondents to
provide telecommunications services in
the United States. Therefore, the
Commission would be unable to fulfill
its statutory responsibilities in
accordance with the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, and the
obligations imposed on parties to the
WTO Basic Telecom Agreement.
