Each individual or group wishing to make brief oral comments to the HSRB is strongly advised to submit their request (preferably via email) to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT no later than noon, Eastern time, April 1, 2008 in order to be included on the meeting agenda and to provide sufficient time for the HSRB Chair and HSRB Designated Federal Officer (DFO) to review the agenda to provide an appropriate public comment period. The request should identify the name of the individual making the presentation, the organization (if any) the individual will represent, and any requirements for audiovisual equipment (e.g., overhead projector, LCD projector, chalkboard). Oral comments before the HSRB are limited to five minutes per individual or organization. Please note that this limit applies to the cumulative time used by all individuals appearing either as part of, or on behalf of an organization. While it is our intent to hear a full range of oral comments on the science and ethics issues under discussion, it is not our intent to permit organizations to expand these time limitations by having multiple individuals sign up separately to speak on their behalf. Each speaker should bring 25 copies of his or her comments and presentation slides for distribution to the HSRB at the meeting. At the discretion of the Board Chair and DFO, public commenters, if present during the Board’s discussion, may be asked to provide clarification of their comments to assist the Board in their discussion. b. Written comments. Although you may submit written comments at any time, for the HSRB to have the best opportunity to review and consider your comments as it deliberates on its report, you should submit your comments at least five business days prior to the beginning of the meeting. If you submit comments after this date, those comments will be provided to the Board members, but you should recognize that the Board members may not have adequate time to consider those comments prior to making a decision. Thus, if you plan to submit written comments, the Agency strongly encourages you to submit such comments no later than noon, Eastern Time, April 1, 2008. You should submit your comments using the instructions in Unit I.C. of this notice.

A copy of the FCC submission to OMB will be displayed. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission is requesting emergency OMB processing of this information collection and has requested OMB approval by March 14, 2008. OMB Control Number: None. Title: Information Needed in Requests for Waiver of June 26, 2008 Deadline for Rebanding Completion. Form No.: Not applicable. Type of Review: New collection. Respondents: State, local or tribal governments; private sector. Number of Respondents: 780 respondents; 1080 responses. Estimated Time Per Response: 0.861 hour. Frequency of Response: One to twotime reporting. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:46 Mar 06, 2008 Jkt 214001 Total Annual Burden: 930 hours. Total Annual Cost: $62,400. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission will work with respondents to ensure that their concerns regarding the confidentiality of any proprietary or public safetysensitive information are resolved in a manner consistent with the Commission’s rules. See 47 CFR 0.459. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This information collection does not affect individuals or households, and therefore a privacy impact assessment is not required. Needs and Uses: The information collection sought will enable the Commission to implement its rebanding program. Under that program, certain licensees are being relocated to new frequencies in the 800 MHz band, with all rebanding costs to be paid by Sprint Nextel Corporation (Sprint). The Commission’s overarching objective in this proceeding is to eliminate interference to public safety communications. The Commission’s orders provided for the 800 MHz licensees in non-border areas to complete rebanding by June 26, 2008. Those Orders also adopted various information collection requirements necessary to implement 800 MHz incumbent relocation, which have been approved by OMB (See OMB Control Number 3060–1080). Incumbent licensees may request a waiver of the relocation schedule. The Public Notice at issue here provides licensees guidance on what information they should submit as part of those waiver requests. On January 17, 2008, the Commission released a Public Notice that established that any 800 MHz non-border licensee that will require additional time past June 26, 2008 to complete rebanding must request a waiver. The Commission stated that the ‘‘guidance contained in this Public Notice is intended to expedite both the preparation and submission of waiver requests by licensees as well as the review of such requests by the Bureau, consistent with the Commission’s overarching goal of ensuring that rebanding is accomplished in a reasonable, prudent, and timely manner.’’ The deadlines for filing waiver requests are March 17, 2008, for licensees in Waves 1 and 2 and April 15, 2008, for licensees in Wave 3. Licensees may also file interim waiver requests until they file a waiver request that will include a proposed rebanding timetable. The Commission will make use of electronic collection techniques. It is expected that all respondents will employ electronic correspondence to PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 submit their responses. To further ease the burden imposed by this information collection, respondents are encouraged to make use of template forms created for the purpose of this collection. Those forms are publicly available. Information will be sought concerning public safety systems that are being relocated to new frequencies under the Commission’s 800 MHz rebanding program. We encourage licensees that are part of a regional coordination plan or that are otherwise coordinating their rebanding efforts to file coordinated requests as well as individual requests for each member of the regional coordination plan. We recommend that licensees address the following factors in their request: (1) System size and complexity; (2) interoperability with other systems, and how such interoperability will affect the ultimate rebanding schedule; and (3) steps already taken to complete physical reconfiguration, including participation in the Subscriber Equipment Deployment (SED) program and participation in a TA-sponsored regional planning session in its Public Safety Region (or commitment to participate in such a session). Licensees should provide a proposed timetable that includes the following elements: (1) What steps in the rebanding process have been or will be taken prior to the June 26, 2008 deadline; (2) anticipated dates of commencement and completion of (a) replacement or retuning of mobiles/portables, and (b) infrastructure retuning; (3) the anticipated date(s) that the licensee will commence operations on its post-rebanding channels and stop operations on its pre-rebanding channels; (4) additional rebanding steps that the licensee must take after commencement of operations on rebanded channels (e.g., removing old channels from radios) and the anticipated date for completion of these steps. The 800 MHz Transition Administrator has developed a template form for licensee use to provide the above information in their waiver requests. To expedite licensee preparation of requests and Bureau review, we recommend that licensees use this template in preparing their requests. Licensees that are unable to propose a specific timetable because they have not executed a Frequency Reconfiguration Agreement (FRA) with Sprint by the applicable deadline for filing a waiver request should file an interim extension request. The interim extension request should (1) state when the licensee anticipates having an FRA and (2) when the licensee anticipates filing a final waiver request that will E:\FR\FM\07MRN1.SGM 07MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 46 / Friday, March 7, 2008 / Notices include a proposed timetable as described above.

SUMMARY: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) requests comment on proposed changes to its Payments System Risk (PSR) policy that would adopt a new strategy for providing intraday balances and credit to depository institutions and encourage such institutions to collateralize their daylight overdrafts. The Board believes changes to the Federal Reserve’s current strategy for providing intraday balances and credit to the banking industry PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12417 would help loosen liquidity constraints and reduce operational risk. Specifically, the Board proposes to adopt a policy of supplying intraday balances to healthy depository institutions predominantly through explicitly collateralized daylight overdrafts provided at a zero fee. The Board would allow depository institutions to pledge collateral voluntarily to secure daylight overdrafts but would encourage the voluntary pledging of collateral to cover daylight overdrafts by raising the fee for uncollateralized daylight overdrafts to 50 basis points (annual rate) from the current 36 basis points. The Board also proposes to increase the biweekly daylight overdraft fee waiver to $150 from $25 to minimize the effect of the proposed policy changes on institutions that use small amounts of daylight overdrafts (small users). In addition, the proposed policy would involve changes to other elements of the PSR policy dealing with daylight overdrafts, including adjusting net debit caps, streamlining maximum daylight overdraft capacity (max cap) procedures for certain foreign banking organizations (FBOs), eliminating the current deductible for daylight overdraft fees, and increasing the penalty daylight overdraft fee for ineligible institutions to 150 basis points (annual rate) from the current 136 basis points. DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 4, 2008. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. OP–1309, by any of the following methods: • Agency Web Site: https:// www.federalreserve.gov.

copy of the FCC submission to OMB will be displayed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission is requesting emergency OMB 
processing of this information collection and has requested OMB 
approval by March 14, 2008.
    OMB Control Number: None.
    Title: Information Needed in Requests for Waiver of June 26, 2008 
Deadline for Rebanding Completion.
    Form No.: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: State, local or tribal governments; private sector.
    Number of Respondents: 780 respondents; 1080 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 0.861 hour.
    Frequency of Response: One to two-time reporting.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 930 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $62,400.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission will work with 
respondents to ensure that their concerns regarding the confidentiality 
of any proprietary or public safety-sensitive information are resolved 
in a manner consistent with the Commission's rules. See 47 CFR 0.459.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This information collection does not 
affect individuals or households, and therefore a privacy impact 
assessment is not required.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection sought will enable the 
Commission to implement its rebanding program. Under that program, 
certain licensees are being relocated to new frequencies in the 800 MHz 
band, with all rebanding costs to be paid by Sprint Nextel Corporation 
(Sprint). The Commission's overarching objective in this proceeding is 
to eliminate interference to public safety communications. The 
Commission's orders provided for the 800 MHz licensees in non-border 
areas to complete rebanding by June 26, 2008. Those Orders also adopted 
various information collection requirements necessary to implement 800 
MHz incumbent relocation, which have been approved by OMB (See OMB 
Control Number 3060-1080). Incumbent licensees may request a waiver of 
the relocation schedule. The Public Notice at issue here provides 
licensees guidance on what information they should submit as part of 
those waiver requests.
    On January 17, 2008, the Commission released a Public Notice that 
established that any 800 MHz non-border licensee that will require 
additional time past June 26, 2008 to complete rebanding must request a 
waiver. The Commission stated that the ``guidance contained in this 
Public Notice is intended to expedite both the preparation and 
submission of waiver requests by licensees as well as the review of 
such requests by the Bureau, consistent with the Commission's 
overarching goal of ensuring that rebanding is accomplished in a 
reasonable, prudent, and timely manner.'' The deadlines for filing 
waiver requests are March 17, 2008, for licensees in Waves 1 and 2 and 
April 15, 2008, for licensees in Wave 3. Licensees may also file 
interim waiver requests until they file a waiver request that will 
include a proposed rebanding timetable.
    The Commission will make use of electronic collection techniques. 
It is expected that all respondents will employ electronic 
correspondence to submit their responses. To further ease the burden 
imposed by this information collection, respondents are encouraged to 
make use of template forms created for the purpose of this collection. 
Those forms are publicly available.
    Information will be sought concerning public safety systems that 
are being relocated to new frequencies under the Commission's 800 MHz 
rebanding program. We encourage licensees that are part of a regional 
coordination plan or that are otherwise coordinating their rebanding 
efforts to file coordinated requests as well as individual requests for 
each member of the regional coordination plan. We recommend that 
licensees address the following factors in their request: (1) System 
size and complexity; (2) interoperability with other systems, and how 
such interoperability will affect the ultimate rebanding schedule; and 
(3) steps already taken to complete physical reconfiguration, including 
participation in the Subscriber Equipment Deployment (SED) program and 
participation in a TA-sponsored regional planning session in its Public 
Safety Region (or commitment to participate in such a session). 
Licensees should provide a proposed timetable that includes the 
following elements: (1) What steps in the rebanding process have been 
or will be taken prior to the June 26, 2008 deadline; (2) anticipated 
dates of commencement and completion of (a) replacement or retuning of 
mobiles/portables, and (b) infrastructure retuning; (3) the anticipated 
date(s) that the licensee will commence operations on its post-
rebanding channels and stop operations on its pre-rebanding channels; 
(4) additional rebanding steps that the licensee must take after 
commencement of operations on rebanded channels (e.g., removing old 
channels from radios) and the anticipated date for completion of these 
steps. The 800 MHz Transition Administrator has developed a template 
form for licensee use to provide the above information in their waiver 
requests. To expedite licensee preparation of requests and Bureau 
review, we recommend that licensees use this template in preparing 
their requests. Licensees that are unable to propose a specific 
timetable because they have not executed a Frequency Reconfiguration 
Agreement (FRA) with Sprint by the applicable deadline for filing a 
waiver request should file an interim extension request. The interim 
extension request should (1) state when the licensee anticipates having 
an FRA and (2) when the licensee anticipates filing a final waiver 
request that will

[[Page 12417]]

include a proposed timetable as described above.
