Herman at 202–418–0214 or via the Internet at Judith-b.herman@fcc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060–1094. Title: Sections 27.14 and 27.1221, Licensing, Operation and Transition of the 2500–2690 MHz Band. Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal government. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:15 Jan 12, 2011 Jkt 223001 Number of Respondents: 2,500 respondents; 5,140 responses. Estimated Time per Response: .50 hours–2.25 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion and one time reporting requirements, third party disclosure requirement and recordkeeping 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), 301, 303(f), 303(g), 303(r), 307, 308 and 316. Total Annual Burden: 3,510 hours. Total Annual Cost: $302,667. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality. Respondents or applicants may request materials or information submitted to the Commission 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 during this comment period as a revision. The Commission is seeking OMB approval because the FCC adopted and released a Fourth Memorandum Opinion and Order, (2008 Order), FCC 08–83, which adopted section 27.14(o) of the Commission’s rules. That rule requires all Broadband Radio Service (BRS) and Educational Broadband Service (EBS) licensees to make a showing of ‘‘substantial service’’ no later than May 1, 2011 on a licenseby-license basis. This requirement was modified by the Third Report and Order (2010 Order), FCC 10–107, to require that licensees issued a new BRS license on or After November 6, 2009, would have four years from the date of initial license grant to provide substantial service. A licensee must demonstrate that it provided service which is sound, favorable, and substantially above a level of mediocre service which might minimally warrant renewal. The Commission has changed it’s burden estimates for this information collection. The Commission has recalculated (adjusted) the burden hours because the number of respondents/ responses has been reduced by 4,947 hours. This is due to fewer respondents since this was last submitted to OMB. The transition to the new band plan is largely complete and most of the transition-related requirements contained in this collection are no longer necessary. The program change increase in annual costs is due to approximately two-third of respondents will contract out to an outside source to prepare the ‘‘substantial showing’’ requirement.
