Download as PDF 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. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.

Title: Sections 1.1307 and 1.1311, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radiofrequency, Second Memorandum Opinion and Order, ET Docket No. 93– 62. 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 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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.
