This adjustment is due to a decrease in the estimated number of respondents/responses (from 1,000 to 103) that was submitted to the OMB in 2005. The annual cost estimate has also decreased due to a decrease in the capital/start up costs. Thus the Commission is now reporting a total of 1,500 burden hours and $810,000 in annual operations and maintenance costs. Section 101.1523, Sharing and Coordination among Non-Government Licensees and Between NonGovernment and Government Services, requires registration of each link in the 71–76 GHz 81–86 GHz, and 92–95 GHz bands.

The licensee or applicant shall: (1) Complete coordination with Federal Government links according to the coordination standards and procedures adopted in Report and Order, FCC 03–248, and as further detailed in subsequent implementation public notices issued consistent with that order; (2) Provide an electronic copy of an interference analysis to a third-party database manager which demonstrates that the potential for harmful interference to or from all previously registered non-government links has been analyzed according to the standards of section 101.105 and generally accepted good engineering practice, and that the proposed nongovernment link will neither cause harmful interference to, nor receive harmful interference from, any previously registered non-government link, and (3) Provide upon request any information related to the interference analysis and the corresponding link. The third-party database managers shall receive and retain the interference analyses electronically and make them available to the public.

The Commission believes the licensee is in the best position to determine the nature of its operations and whether those operations impact these settings, and is required to submit to a database manager, as part of the registration package, documentation that an FCC Form 601 has been filed. The recordkeeping, reporting and third party disclosure requirements will be used by the Commission to verify licensee compliance with Commission rules and regulations, and to ensure that licensees fulfill their statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

    Report No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5[n x dash]4.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, 
recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. Sections 151, 154(i), 303(f), and (r), 309, 316, and 332 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,500 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $810,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: This collection does not 
address information of a confidential nature. Respondents may request 
confidential treatment of materials submitted to the Commission which 
they believe should be withheld from public inspection under 47 CFR 
0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection (IC) to the OMB as an extension during this comment period 
to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. The Commission is 
reporting a -10,500 hourly burden reduction and a -$1,020,000 annual 
cost reduction (adjustment). This adjustment is due to a decrease in 
the estimated number of respondents/responses (from 1,000 to 103) that 
was submitted to the OMB in 2005. The annual cost estimate has also 
decreased due to a decrease in the capital/start up costs. Thus the 
Commission is now reporting a total of 1,500 burden hours and $810,000 
in annual operations and maintenance costs.
    Section 101.1523, Sharing and Coordination among Non-Government 
Licensees and Between Non-Government and Government Services, requires 
registration of each link in the 71-76 GHz 81-86 GHz, and 92-95 GHz 
bands. Registration of each link will be completed in the Commission's 
Universal Licensing System (ULS) until the Wireless Telecommunications 
Bureau announces by public notice the implementation of a third party 
database. The licensee or applicant shall:
    (1) Complete coordination with Federal Government links according 
to the coordination standards and procedures adopted in Report and 
Order, FCC 03-248, and as further detailed in subsequent implementation 
public notices issued consistent with that order;
    (2) Provide an electronic copy of an interference analysis to a 
third-party database manager which demonstrates that the potential for 
harmful interference to or from all previously registered non-
government links has been analyzed according to the standards of 
section 101.105 and generally accepted good engineering practice, and 
that the proposed non-government link will neither cause harmful 
interference to, nor receive harmful interference from, any previously 
registered non-government link, and
    (3) Provide upon request any information related to the 
interference analysis and the corresponding link. The third-party 
database managers shall receive and retain the interference analyses 
electronically and make them available to the public. Protection of 
individual links against harmful interference from other links shall be 
granted on a first-in-time registered links. Successful completion of 
coordination via the National Telecommunications and Information 
Administration (NTIA) automated mechanism shall constitute successful 
non-Federal Government to Federal Government coordination for that 
individual link.

[[Page 67516]]

    In addition, the following types of non-Federal Government links 
require the filing with the Commission an FCC Form 601 (OMB Control 
Number 3060-0798) for each link for the purpose of coordination and 
registration, in addition to registering each link in the third-party 
database:
    (1) Facilities requiring the submission of an Environmental 
Assessment,
    (2) Facilities requiring international coordination, and
    (3) Operation in quiet zones.
    The Commission believes the licensee is in the best position to 
determine the nature of its operations and whether those operations 
impact these settings, and is required to submit to a database manager, 
as part of the registration package, documentation that an FCC Form 601 
has been filed.
    The recordkeeping, reporting and third party disclosure 
requirements will be used by the Commission to verify licensee 
compliance with Commission rules and regulations, and to ensure that 
licensees fulfill their statutory responsibilities in accordance with 
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Such information has been 
used in the past and 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.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
