SUMMARY: The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
burdens, 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, Public Law 104–13.
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 May 20, 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 contact listed below as
soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: You may submit all PRA

Title: 700 MHz Eligibility, Regional
Planning Requirements, Interference
Protection Criteria and 4.9 GHz
Guidelines (47 CFR 90.523, 90.527,
90.545, and 90.1211).
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for
profit; not-for-profit institutions; state,
local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 15,116 respondents; 21,116
responses.
Estimated Time Per Response:
2.89236 hours (range of 30 minutes to
628 hours).
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting and one-time reporting
requirements; third party disclosure.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits (47 CFR 90.523,
90.527, and 90.545); voluntary (47 CFR
90.1211).
Total Annual Burden: 61,075 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: Section 90.523
requires that nongovernmental
organizations that provide services
which protect the safety of life or
property obtain a written statement from
an authorizing state or local government
entity to support the nongovernmental
organization’s application for
assignment of 700 MHz frequencies.
Section 90.527 requires 700 MHz
regional planning regions to submit a
plan for use of the 700 MHz general use
spectrum in the consolidated
narrowband segment 763–775 MHz and
793–805 MHz. It advocates a fair and
open process in developing allocation
assignments by requiring input from
eligible entities in the allocation
decisions and the application technical
review/approval process. Entities that
seek inclusion in the plan to obtain
future licenses are considered third
party respondents. Section 90.545 TV/
DTV interference protection criteria,
provides that public safety base, control
and mobile transmitters in the 763–775
MHz and 793–805 MHz band applicants
select one of three ways to meet the TV/
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

DTV interference protection
requirements: (1) By utilizing
geographic separation in the rule; (2)
submitting an engineering study to
justify other separations, or (3) obtain
concurrence from applicable TV/DTV
station(s). Section 90.1211 authorizes
the fifty-five 700 MHz regional planning
committees to develop and submit on a
voluntary basis a plan on guidelines for
coordination procedures to facilitate the
shared use of 4940–4990 MHz (4.9 GHz)
band. Applicants are granted a
geographic area license for the entire
fifty MHz of 4.9 GHz spectrum over a
geographical area defined by the
boundaries of their jurisdiction—city,
county or state. Accordingly, licensees
are required to coordinate their
operations in the shared band to avoid
interference, a common practice when
joint operations are conducted.
Commission staff will use the
information to assign licenses,
determine regional spectrum
requirements and to develop technical
standards. The information will also be
used to determine whether prospective
licensees operate in compliance with
the Commission’s rules. Without such
information, the Commission could not
accommodate regional requirements or
provide for the efficient use of the
available frequencies. This information
collection includes rules to govern the
operation and licensing of the 700 MHz
and 4.9 GHz bands rules and regulation
to ensure that licensees continue to
fulfill their statutory responsibilities in
accordance with the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended. Such
information will continue to be used to
minimize interference, verify that
applicants are legally and technically
qualified to hold licenses, and to
determine compliance with Commission
rules.
