ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burden and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), the Federal Communications
Commission invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s).
Comments are requested concerning:
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; 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 ways to
further reduce the information burden
for 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 valid OMB control
number.

Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before October 22,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0718.
Title: Part 101 Rule Sections
Governing the Terrestrial Microwave
Fixed Radio Service.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions,
federal government and state, local or
tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 27,342
respondents; 27,342 responses.
Estimated Time per Response:
1.2962475 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and 10 year 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(i), 301, 303(f), 303(g), 303(r), 307,
308, 309, 310 and 316.
Total Annual Burden: 35,442 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $810,000.
Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
No questions of a confidential nature are
asked.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking OMB approval for revision of
this information collection. There is a
minor change to the Commission’s
previous burden estimates. The
Commission is increasing the hourly
burden by 200 hours and the annual
cost by $50,000.
On August 3, 2012, the FCC adopted
and released a Backhaul Second Report
and Order, FCC 12–87, WT Docket No.
10–153, adopting a Rural Microwave
Flexibility Policy directing the
Commission’s Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau to
favorably consider waivers of the
payload capacity requirements if Fixed
Service (FS) applicants demonstrate
compliance with certain criteria, which
is adding new reporting and
recordkeeping requirements to this
information collection.
In order to accommodate the
consideration of waivers of the payload
capacity of FS applicants pursuant to
the Rural Microwave Flexibility Policy
requirement, there is an increase in the
total annual burden hours from 35,242
to 35,442 hours; an increase in the
number of respondents and responses
from 27,292 to 27,342; and an annual

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 164 / Thursday, August 23, 2012 / Notices
cost increase from $760,000 to $810,000
because of the new respondents, i.e.,
Fixed Service (FS) operators who
choose to file under the Rural
Microwave Flexibility Policy. The Policy
directs the Bureau to favorably consider
waivers of the requirements for payload
capacity of equipment if the applicants
demonstrate equipment compliance
with the following criteria:
• The interference environment
would allow the applicant to use a less
stringent Category B antenna (although
the applicant could choose to sue a
higher performance Category A
antenna);
• The applicant specifically
acknowledges its duty to upgrade to a
Category A antenna and come into
compliance with the applicable
efficiency standard if necessary to
resolve an interference conflict with a
current or future microwave link
pursuant to 47 CFR 101.115(c);
• The applicant uses equipment that
is capable of readily being upgraded to
comply with the applicable payload
capacity requirement, and provide a
certification in its application that its
equipment complies with this
requirement;
• Each end of the link is located in a
rural area (county or equivalent having
a population density of 100 persons per
square mile or less);
• Each end of the link is in a county
with a low density of links in the 4, 6,
11, 18 and 23 GHz bands;
• Neither end of the link is contained
within a recognized antenna farm; and
• The applicant describes its
proposed service and explains how
relief from the efficiency standards will
facilitate providing that service (e.g., by
eliminating the need for an intermediate
hop) as well as the steps needed to come
into compliance should an interference
conflict emerge.
There is no change to the existing
third party disclosure requirements.
Additionally, Part 101 rule sections
requires various information to be
reported to the Commission;
coordinated with third parties; posting
requirements; notification requirements
to the public; and recordkeeping
requirements maintained by the
respondent to determine the technical,
legal and other qualifications of
applications to operate a station in the
public and private operational fixed
services.
