Review to the Office of Management and Budget

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. An agency may not 
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid control number. No person shall be subject to any 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject 
to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid 
control number. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the 
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and 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 March 3, 2008. If you anticipate that you will 
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC

Management and Budget, (202) 395-5887, or via fax at 202-395-5167 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Section 90.179, Shared Use of Radio Stations.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 42,000 respondents; 42,000 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .75 hours reporting requirement; .25 
hours recordkeeping requirement.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 42,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for

    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to the OMB as an extension during this comment period to 
obtain the full three-year clearance from them. There is an increase in 
the number of respondents/responses and burden hours due a 
recalculation of the burden estimates.
    Section 90.179 requires Part 90 licensees that share use of their 
private land mobile radio (PLMR) facility on a non-profit, cost-shared 
basis keep a written sharing agreement as part of the station records. 
The written agreement would set out: (1) The method of sharing, (2) the 
components of the system which are covered by the sharing arrangements, 
(3) the method by which costs are to be apportioned, (4) and 
acknowledgement that all shared transmitter use must be subject to the 
licensee's control.
    These requirements are necessary to identify users of the systems 
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.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
