Download as PDF srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES 2376 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 9 / Thursday, January 13, 2011 / Notices There is no change in the Commission’s burden estimates. The Commission was directed by the United States Congress, in the Balanced Budget act of 1997, to dedicate 2.4 MHz of electromagnetic spectrum in the 746– 806 MHz band for public safety services. Section 90.179 requires that Part 90 licensees that share use of their private land mobile radio facility on a nonprofit, cost-sharing basis keep a written agreement as part of the station records. Regardless of the method of sharing, an up-to-date list of persons who are sharing the station and the basis of their eligibility under Part 90 must be maintained. The requirement is necessary to identify users of the system should interference problems develop. This information is used by the Commission to investigate interference complaints and resolve interference and operational complaints that may arise among the users. OMB Control Number: 3060–0774. Title: Parts 36, and 54, Universal Service Reporting, Disclosure and Records Retention Requirements. Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents: 7,060,500 respondents; 7,631,034 responses. Estimated Time per Response: .084 hours to 125 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion, annual, quarterly and five year reporting requirements, recordkeeping requirements and third party disclosure requirements. 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, 201–205, 214, 218–220, 254, 303(r), 403, and 410. Total Annual Burden: 1,279,455 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not requesting that respondents submit confidential information to the Commission. If the Commission requests applicants to submit information that the respondents believe is confidential, respondents may request confidential treatment of such information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 60 day comment period in order to obtain the VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:15 Jan 12, 2011 Jkt 223001 three year clearance from them. The Commission is requesting OMB approval for an extension (no change in the reporting, recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure requirements). There is no change in the Commission’s previous burden estimates. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (1996 Act) directed the Commission to initiate a rulemaking to reform the system of universal service so that universal service is preserved and advanced as markets move toward competition. To fulfill that mandate, on March 9, 1996, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in CC Docket No. 96–45 to implement the congressional directives set out in section 254 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the 1996 Act. Pursuant to section 254(a)(1), the NPRM also referred numerous issues related to universal service to a Federal-State Joint Board for a recommended decision. On November 8, 1996, the Joint Board released a Recommended Decision in which it made recommendations to assist and counsel the Commission in the creation of an effective universal service support mechanism that would ensure that the goals of affordable, quality service and access to advanced services are met by means that enhance competition. On November 18, 1996, the Commission’s Common Carrier Bureau (now the Wireline Competition Bureau) released a Public Notice (DA 96–1891) seeking public comment on the issues addressed and recommendations made by the Joint Board in the Recommended Decision. In a Report and Order issued in CC Docket No. 96–45, released on May 8, 1997, and other proceedings, the Commission adopted rules that were designed to implement the universal service provisions of section 254. On August 29, 2007, the Commission released the Report and Order, 2007 Comprehensive Review of the Universal Service Fund Management, Administration and Oversight, WC Docket Nos. 05–192, 02–60, 03–109, and CC Docket Nos. 96–45, 02–6, 97–21, FCC 07–150. In this Order, the Commission took several further steps to safeguard the universal service fund from waste, fraud and abuse, including imposing document retention rules on all universal service programs and program contributors.
