Guidelines (47 CFR 90.523, 90.527,
90.545, and 90.1211).
Form Number: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions; state,
local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 15,116 respondents; 21,116

reporting and one-time reporting
requirements; third party disclosure.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory (47
CFR 90.523); required to obtain or retain
benefits (47 CFR 90.523, 90.527, and
90.545); and voluntary.
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 committees 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/
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. Information
provided to, or exchanged among, third
parties will be used to establish
eligibility and to prevent harmful
interference. This information collection
request includes rules to govern the
operation and licensing of the 700 MHz
and 4.9 GHz bands 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.
