srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 52 / Thursday, March 17, 2011 / Notices
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, 332 and 337.
Total Annual Burden: 500 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for
confidentiality. However, petitioners
may request confidential treatment of
their information pursuant to 47 CFR
0.459 of the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
adopted a Third Report and Order, PS
Docket No. 06–229, FCC 11–6 that
requires OMB approval for a new
information collection that requires
public safety broadband networks to
employ the Long Term Evolution (LTE)
broadband standard, specifically at least
3GPP Standard E–UTRA Release 8 and
associated Evolved Packet Core (EPC).
The Third Report and Order further
requires that these networks support
certain LTE interfaces. These
requirements were designed to ensure
that networks operated in this spectrum
band are interoperable with one
another.
The Third Report and Order also
requires each operator of a 700 MHz
public safety broadband network to
submit a certification to the
Commission’s Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau),
prior to network deployment, that its
network will support the required LTE
interfaces. This requirement will enable
the Bureau to monitor network
deployment and ensure that networks
are supporting the interfaces necessary
to achieve interoperability.
The Commission is seeking OMB
approval for this new information
collection which requires operators of
public safety broadband networks to
submit a certification to the
Commission.
Accurate maintenance of this data is
vital in developing a regulatory
framework for this network. Since such
a network is vital for public safety and
homeland security, its proper operation
must be assured.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of
Managing Director.

information collected; (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, and (e) ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that
does not display a currently valid OMB
control number.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before May 16, 2011. If
you anticipate that you will be
submitting PRA comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the FCC contact listed below as
soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to

Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 6,017 respondents;
137,256,175 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .002
hours–50 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
one time, annual and biennial reporting
requirements, recordkeeping
requirement, 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. 151, 154(i),
154(j), 201–205, 208, 222, 303(r), and
403.
Total Annual Burden: 350,704 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $3,000,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
respondents submit confidential
information. Any respondent who
submits information to the Commission,
which the respondent believes is
confidential, 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 after this comment period to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to obtain the three year clearance
from them. There is no change in the
number of respondents, burden hours
and annual costs. The number of
responses increased by 50 due to
recalculations of the various estimates
in item 12 of the supporting statement.
There is no change to the reporting,
recordkeeping and/or third party
disclosure requirements.
This information collection
implements the statutory obligations of
section 222 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended. These regulations
impose safeguards to protect customers’
CPNI against unauthorized access and
disclosure. In March 2007, the
Commission adopted rules, which
focused on the efforts of
communications service providers to
prevent pretexting. These rules require
providers of communications services to
adopt additional privacy safeguards
that, the Commission believes, will
sharply limit pretexters’ ability to obtain
unauthorized access to the type of
personal customer information from
carriers that the Commission regulates.
In addition, the Commission’s rules
help ensure that law enforcement will

Title: Sections 1.1307 and 1.1311,
Guidelines for Evaluating the
Environmental Effects of
Radiofrequency, Second Memorandum
Opinion and Order, ET Docket No. 93–

Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households, business or other for-profit,
not-for-profit institutions and state,
local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 190,905 respondents;
190,905 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .36
hours (average).
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,
302, 303, and 307.
Total Annual Burden: 69,463 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $10,355,260.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
The Commission has a System of
Records, FCC/WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless
Services Licensing Records,’’ which
covers the personally identifiable
information (PII) that individual
PO 00000

applicants may include in their
submission for licenses or grants of
equipment authorization. At such time
as the Commission revises this System
of Records Notice (SORN), the
Commission will conduct a Privacy
Impact Assessment (PIA) and publish
the revised SORN in the Federal
Register. In addition, the Commission
will post a copy of both the PIA and the
SORN on the FCC’s Privacy Web page.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is minimal exemption from the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5
U.S.C. 552(b)(4), and 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules, that is granted
for trade secrets, which may be
submitted to the Commission as part of
the documentation of test results. No
other assurances of confidentiality are
provided to respondents.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection during this comment period
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to obtain the full, three year
clearance from them. The Commission
is requesting approval for an extension
(no change in the reporting,
recordkeeping and/or third party
disclosure requirements). The
Commission is reporting a 94,469 hour
and a $18,336,443 reduction adjustment
in burden. This reduction is due to
fewer responses than the last time this
collection was submitted to OMB for
review and approval.
This information collection is a result
of responsibility placed on the FCC by
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969. NEPA requires that
each federal agency evaluate the impact
of ‘‘major actions significantly affecting
the quality of the human environment.’’
It is the FCC’s opinion that this is the
most efficient and reasonable method of
complying with NEPA with regard to
the environmental issue of
radiofrequency radiation from FCCregulated transmitters.
The Commission requires applicants
to submit limited information during
the licensing and authorization process.
In many services, the Commission
simply requires licensees to provide
reliable service to specific geographic
areas, but does not require licensees to
file site-specific information. It does not
appear that the FCC’s present licensing
methods can provide public notification
of site-specific information without
imposing new and significant additional
burden to the Commission’s applicants.
However, we note that applicants with
the greatest potential to exceed the
Commission’s exposure limits are
required to perform an environmental
evaluation as part of the licensing and
authorization process.
