Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 90 / Tuesday, May 10, 2011 / Notices
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting, quarterly, annual, and once
every 5 years reporting requirements,
recordkeeping 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 151–
154, 201–205, 218–220, 214, 254, 303(r),
403 and 410.
Total Annual Burden: 1,152,255
hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
However, respondents 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 expiring information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) during this comment
period in order to obtain the full three
year clearance from them. The
Commission is requesting OMB
approval for a revision.
The Commission conducted an
extensive clean-up of this information
collection. There were mathematical
corrections necessary, rule part
consolidations, and one item was
eliminated to avoid duplicity
(information is being reported on the
same rule part under a different OMB
control number in a different
information collection). Redundant or
unnecessary information was removed.
Therefore, the Commission is reporting
a 127.200 hour burden reduction
adjustment for which we seek OMB
approval.
In the Telecommunications Act of
1996 (1996 Act), Congress directed the
Commission to implement a new set of
universal service support mechanisms
that are explicit and sufficient to
advance the universal service principles
enumerated in 47 U.S.C. section 254
and other such principles as the
Commission believes are necessary and
appropriate for the protection of the
public interest, convenience and
necessity, and are consistent with the
1996 Act. Parts 36 and 54 promulgate
the rules and requirements to preserve
and advance universal service.

licensee participating in any cost
sharing arrangement for telephone
service must maintain cost sharing
records, the costs must be distributed at
least once a year, and a report of the
distribution must be placed in the
licensee’s station records and made
available to participants in the sharing
arrangement and the Commission upon
request.
(3) Pursuant to 47 CFR 90.477(d)(3),

persons or organizations charged with
specific forestry-conservation activities,
or medical emergency systems in the
450–470 MHz band, and who seek to
connect within 120 km (75 miles) of 25
cities specified in 90.477(d)(3), must
obtain the consent of all co-channel
licensees located both within 120 km of
the center of the city, and with 120 km
of the interconnected base station
transmitter. Consensual agreements
must specifically state the terms agreed
upon and a statement must be submitted
to the Commission indicating that all
co-channel licensees have consented to
the use of interconnection.
In a December 1998 Report and Order
in WT Docket Nos. 98–20 and 96–188,
the Commission consolidated, revised
and streamlined the Commission’s rules
governing the licensing application
procedures for radio services licensed
by the Commission’s Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau in order to
fully implement the Universal Licensing
System (ULS). As a result of the ULS
rule conversions in connection with this
information collection, 47 CFR section
90.477(a), interconnected systems now
file all information (100 percent)
electronically via ULS. Pursuant to 47
CFR sections 90.477(d)(3),
interconnected systems were changed to
reflect NAD83 coordinates.

Privacy Impact Assessment: No
Impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
the respondents submit confidential
information to the FCC. Respondents
may, however, request confidential
treatment for information they believe to
be confidential under 47 CFR Section
0.459 of the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: On August 4, 1998,
the FCC released a Report and Order
(R&O), Examination of Current Policy
Concerning Treatment of Confidential
Information Submitted to the
Commission, CG Docket No. 96–55. The
R&O included a Model Protective Order
(MPO) that is used, when appropriate,
to grant limited access to information
that the Commission determines should
not be routinely available for public
inspection. The party granted access to
the confidential information materials
must keep a written record of all copies
made and provide this record to the
submitted of the confidential materials
upon request. This approach was
adopted to facilitate the use of
confidential materials under an MPO,
instead of restricting access to materials.
In addition, the FCC amended 47 CFR
Section 0.459(b) to set forth the type of
information that should be included
when a party submits information to the
Commissions for which it seeks
confidential treatment. This listing of
types of information to be submitted
was adopted to provide guidance to the
public for confidentiality requests.
