Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents and Responses: 200 respondents; 1,000 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 5–40 minutes (.0833 hours to .667 hours). Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting 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 154(i), 303(c), 303(f), 303(g), 303(r), and 309(j)(13). Total Annual Burden: 142 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A.

Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this revised collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this comment period to obtain the full three year approval from them. The Commission is revising this information collection because Part 23 rules, specifically section 23.20, was eliminated because there are no International Fixed Public Radiocommunication Services (IFPRS) licenses in operation. On January 14, 2010, a Report and Order, IB Docket No. 05–216, FCC 10–7, was adopted that eliminated Part 23 rules and the frequency allocations for IFPRS in the Table of Frequency Allocation. Part 23 was created in the 1930s. IFPRS more recently was made up of point-to-point microwave services. For many years, these facilities provided an important PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 form of international communications. More recently, however IFPRS has been limited to point-to-point microwave services provided between islands in the Caribbean Sea. Therefore, the Commission has removed this rule section from this information collection. The Commission published a 60-day delegated notice on September 22, 2010 (75 FR 57792) which incorrectly stated that we would submit this collection as an extension (no change in the Commission’s reporting and/or third party disclosure requirements). However, after publication of this notice in the Federal Register, FCC 10–7 was discovered that changed this information collection. So, the Commission decided to publish another notice with accurate information on how we are treating and submitting this OMB submission. The existing requirements for this information collection are contained in parts 25 and 73. In a 1997 Report and Order, the Commission established a Coordination Zone for new and modified radio facilities in various communications services that cover the islands of Puerto Rico, Desecheo, Mona, Vieques, and Culebra within the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The coordination zone and notification procedures enable the Arecibo Radio Astronomy Observatory to receive information needed to assess whether an applicant’s proposed operations will cause harmful interference to the Arecibo Observatory’s operations, which also promotes efficient resolution of coordination problems between the applicants and the Observatory. The Observatory will perform interference evaluations at no cost to applicants. If potential interference problems are identified, applicants are required to make reasonable attempts to resolve or mitigate such problems in order to protect the Observatory.
