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.

hours to 125 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,

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

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.
