The Commission is seeking OMB approval for a revision. The Commission is reporting a 114 hour program change decrease to the total burden hour estimate. The revision is because 47 CFR section 23.20 has been removed from this information collection since the last time OMB approved this information collection. The Commission adopted and released a Report and Order, IB Docket No. 05–216, FCC 10–7, which eliminated Part 23 rules because there were no International Fixed Public Radiocommunications Services (IFPRS) licenses in operation. The information collected is used to facilitate coordination between the Observatory and Commission-licensed services in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Applicants for new or modified radio communication facilities within the Coordination Zone are required to submit technical information concerning the applicant’s proposed services to enable the Observatory to determine the potential for interference with its operations. The Observatory will perform interference evaluations at no cost to the 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.
