This document proposes revisions to the Commission's rules and policies regarding public safety operations in the private land mobile radio services. In the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking portion of this document the Commission proposes to reinstate an exemption for 4.9 GHz band applications from coordination via a certified frequency coordinator. Notwithstanding this proposal, the Commission also proposes a licensee-to-licensee coordination requirement for primary permanent fixed stations operating in the 4.9 GHz band. The remaining proposals consist of corrections and clarifications of frequency tables. The Commission makes first proposal because the Commission tentatively concludes that the exemption was deleted by inadvertent omission. The Commission makes the second proposal because it is concerned that the existing coordination rules may not protect primary permanent fixed stations from interference. The Commission proposes the frequency table corrections to fix various errors. The intended effects are to relieve 4.9 GHz band applicants from the cost of certified frequency coordination; ensure sufficient interference protection of 4.9 GHz band permanent fixed primary stations; and eliminate uncertainty regarding the licensing of particular public safety frequencies.

The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, the Employment and Training Administration is soliciting comments concerning the extension of the Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers (UCX) Handbook, Number 384.
