Title: Requests for Waiver of Various Petitioners to Allow the Establishment of 700 MHz Interoperable Public Safety Wireless Broadband Networks. Form Number: N/A. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: State, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents and Responses: 50 respondents; 50 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour to 200 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion and one–time reporting requirements. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:32 Sep 21, 2010 Jkt 220001 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), 301 303, 332 and 337. Total Annual Burden: 18,250 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality. Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) during this comment period to obtain the full three year clearance from them. There is no change in the Commission’s reporting requirements. There is no change in the Commission’s burden estimates. The Commission sought emergency clearance for this information collection on June 1, 2010. Emergency OMB approvals are only granted for six months. The Commission received OMB approval for the emergency request on June 17, 2010. The Commission is now renewing the OMB approval for this information collection. FCC 10–79, PS Docket No. 06–229, the Commission grants, with conditions, 21 waiver petitions filed by public safety entities (Petitioners) seeking early deployment of statewide or local public safety broadband networks in the 700 MHz spectrum. This waiver serves the public interest by allowing state and local jurisdictions to begin broadband deployment and speed services to the public safety community. This will also allow the Petitioners to take advantage of available or potential funding, either through grants or planned budgetary expenditures, as well as to take advantage of economies of scale and other cost saving measures for deployments that are already planned. In addition, Petitioners could benefit from the announced plans of some commercial carriers to begin construction of LTE–based networks this year and early next year, which would result in significant cost–savings. One of the conditions for such waiver is submission of interoperability plans to the Commission’s Emergency Response Interoperability Center (ERIC). The Commission recently decided to establish ERIC to promote appropriate technical requirements that will ensure interoperability for these early deployments from their inception, as well as for any future deployed networks. Given the rapidly evolving nature of 3GPP deployments and standards, submission of the Petitioners’ interoperability plans will help ensure interoperability and roaming among these early deployments. See the June 30, 2010 notice that was published at 75 PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 FR 37800 for more details on the various requirements for state, local or tribal government. This information will be used by FCC staff to facilitate deployment of state and local public safety broadband networks as an initial step towards development of a nationwide, interoperable public safety broadband network. Accurate recordkeeping of this data is vital in developing the regulatory framework for this network. Since such a network is vital for public safety and homeland security, its proper operation must be assured. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.

Schedule B of the FCC Form 601.
    FCC Form 601 is a consolidated, multi-part application form, or 
``long form'', that is used for general market-based licensing and 
site-by-site licensing for wireless telecommunications and public 
safety services filed through the Commission's Universal Licensing 
System (ULS). FCC Form 601 is composed of a main form that contains the 
administrative information and a series of schedules used for filing

applicant is the winning bidder in a spectrum auction.
    The data collected on FCC Form 601 include the FCC Registration 
Number (FRN), which serves as a ``common link'' for all filings an 
entity has with the FCC. The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 
requires that those entities filing with the Commission use a FRN.

It may also be used to modify or renew an existing license, cancel a 
license, withdraw a pending application, obtain a duplicate license, 
submit required notifications, request an extension of time to satisfy 
construction requirements, or request an administrative update to an 
existing license (such as mailing address change), request a Special 
Temporary Authority (STA) or a Developmental License.
