SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060–XXXX. Title: Section 76.41, Franchise Application Process. Form Number: Not applicable. Type of Review: New collection. Respondents: State, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents: 6,006. Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hours–4 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement. Total Annual Burden: 54,000 hours. Total Annual Cost: None. Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Nature of Response: Required to obtain or retain benefits Confidentiality: No need for confidentiality required. Needs and Uses: The Commission has assessed the effects of the application filing requirements used to calculate the VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:32 May 22, 2007 Jkt 211001 time frame in which a local franchising authority shall make a decision, and find that those requirements will benefit companies with fewer than 25 employees by providing such companies with specific application requirements of a reasonable length. The new requirements serve to streamline the existing practice of franchise negotiation and review. Therefore, we believe that the new requirements will reduce burdens on companies with fewer than 25 employees. We anticipate this specificity will streamline this process for companies with fewer than 25 employees, and that these requirements will not burden these companies. Federal Communications Commission.

In setting out the bidding credit, the Commission noted that communities on tribal lands have had less access to telecommunications services than any other segment of the U.S. population. For information collection purposes, a winning bidder credit to serve a qualifying tribal and within a particular PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 28973 market must indicate on the long-form application (FCC Form 601) that it intends to serve a qualifying tribal land within that market; within 180 days after the filing deadline for the longform application, amend its long-form application to identify the tribal lands it intends to serve and attach a certification from the tribal government stating that: (1) The tribal government authorizes the winning bidder to site facilities and provide service on its tribal land; (2) the tribal area to be served by the winning bidder constitutes qualifying tribal land; (3) the tribal government has not and will not enter into an exclusive contract with the applicant precluding entry by other carriers, and will not unreasonably discriminate among wireless carriers seeking to provide on the qualifying tribal land; and (4) provide certification of the telephone penetration rates demonstrating that the tribal land has a penetration level at or below 70 percent. Also, each winning bidder must within 180 after the filing deadline for the FCC Form 601, certify by endorsing the Schedule B of the FCC Form 601, that it will comply with the build-out requirements and consult with the tribal government regarding the location of the facilities and deployment of service on the tribal land; within 15 days of the third anniversary of the initial grant of its license, file a notification (Schedule K of the FCC Form 601) that it has constructed and is operating a system capable of serving 75 percent of the population of the qualifying tribal land for which the credit was awarded; and repay within 30 days of the third anniversary of the initial grant of its license, the bidding credit amount in its entirety, plus interest, if it fails to provide the post-construction notification (Schedule K of the FCC Form 601) required by 47 CFR 1.2110(f)(3)(vi). In addition, a winning bidder seeking a credit in excess of the amount calculated under the Commission’s bidding credit formula must: (1) Submit a waiver request demonstrating that the infrastructure costs exceed the amount of the standard bidding credit; and (2) include a certification by an independent auditor that the estimated costs are reasonable. A winning bidder receiving a higher credit must within 15 days of the third anniversary of the initial license grant, file a certification that the credit amount was spent on infrastructure to provide wireless coverage to qualifying tribal lands, which also includes a final report prepared by an independent auditor verifying that the infrastructure costs are E:\FR\FM\23MYN1.SGM 23MYN1
