requirements. However, the total annual
burden has been modified. The
Commission was directed by the United
States Congress, in the Balanced Budget
Act of 1997, to dedicate 2.4 MHz of
electromagnetic spectrum in the 746–
806 MHz band for public safety services.
Section 90.179 requires that Part 90
licensees that share use of their private
land mobile radio facility on a nonprofit, cost-sharing basis, keep a written
sharing agreement as part of the station
records. Regardless of the method of
sharing, an up-to-date list of persons
who are sharing the station and the
basis of their eligibility under Part 90
must be maintained. The recordkeeping
requirement is necessary to identify
users of the system should interference
problems develop. This information is
used by the Commission to investigate
interference complaints and resolve
interference and operational complaints
that may arise among the users.

Total Annual Burden: 708,806 hours.
Total Annual Costs: $4,360,500.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Confidentiality is an issue to the extent
that individuals and households
provide personally identifiable
information, which is covered under the
FCC’s system of records notice (SORN),
FCC/CGB–1, ‘‘Informal Complaints and
Inquiries.’’
Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The
Privacy Impact Assessment was
completed on June 28, 2007. It may be
reviewed at: https://www.fcc.gov/omd/
privacyact/
Privacy_Impact_Assessment.html.
Needs and Uses: The reporting
requirements included under this OMB
Control Number 3060–0519 enable the
Commission to gather information
regarding violations of the Do-Not-Call
Implementation Act (Do-Not-Call Act).
If the information collection was not
conducted, the Commission would be
unable to track and enforce violations
the Do-Not-Call Act. The Do-Not-Call
rules provide consumers with several
options for avoiding most unwanted
telephone solicitations.
This national do-not-call registry
supplements the current companyspecific do-not-call rules for those
consumers who wish to continue
requesting that particular companies not
call them. Any company, which is asked
by a consumer, including an existing
customer, not to call again must honor
that request for five (5) years. The
Commission retains the current calling
time restrictions of 8 a.m. until 9 p.m.
However, a provision of the
Commission’s rules allows consumers to
give specific companies permission to
call them through an express written
agreement. Nonprofit organizations,
companies with whom consumers have
an established business relationship,
and calls to persons with whom the
telemarketer has a personal relationship
are exempt from the ‘‘do-not-call’’
requirements.
On September 21, 2004, the
Commission released the Safe Harbor
Order establishing a limited safe harbor
in which persons will not be liable for
placing autodialed and prerecorded
message calls to numbers ported from a
wireline service within the previous 15
days. The Commission also amended its
existing national do-not-call registry
safe harbor to require telemarketers to
scrub their lists against the do-not-call
database every 31 days.
