SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060–0805. Title: Section 90.527, Regional Plan Requirements; Section 90.523, Eligibility; Section 90.545(c)(1), Interference Protection Criteria and Section 90.1211, Regional Plan Shared Use of 4.9 GHz. 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 and Responses: 15,066 respondents, 21,116 responses. Estimated Time per Response: .5 hours–10 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion and one time reporting 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. 154(i), 161, 303(g), 303(r), and 332(c)(7). Total Annual Burden: 61,075 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality with this collection of information. Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a three year approval for an extension without change for information collection 3060–0805. The requirements that the Commission wants continued OMB approval is for the following: Section 90.523 which requires that nongovernmental organizations, which provide services to protect the safety of life, or property, to obtain a written statement from an authorizing state or local government entity to support the nongovernmental organization’s application for the assignment of 700 MHz frequencies. Section 90.545(c)(1) requires that public safety applicants select one of three ways to meet TV/DTV protection requirements: (1) Utilize geographic separation table in the rule; (2) submit an engineering study to justify other PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 31959 separations; or (3) obtain concurrence from the applicable TV/DTV station(s). The engineering study is submitted to the Commission if the channel separation is other than what is stated in rule (table). This will reduce the potential for interference to public reception of the signals of existing TV and DTV broadcast stations transmitting on TV channels 62, 63, 64, 65, 67, 68 or 69. Section 90.527 states that to prepare the regional plans for the 700 MHz band, the regional planning committees will require input from those entities within the regions that will be eligible to receive licenses under the plans. Entities that seek inclusion in the plan in order to obtain licenses will be third party respondents. Section 90.1211 the Commission suggested that each 700 MHz region submit a plan on guidelines to be used for sharing the spectrum within the region. The information will be submitted to the Commission and they will use the information obtained to assign licenses, and also use the information to determine regional spectrum requirements and to develop technical standards. The information will also be used to determine whether prospective licensees will operate in compliance with the Commission’s rules. Without such information, the Commission could not accommodate regional requirements or provide for the optimal use of the available frequencies. For information provide to, or exchanged among third parties, the data will be used to establish eligibility. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H.
