The Commission is reporting a 200 hour program change increase in 
burden and a $50,000 program change increase in annual costs. The 
increase in burden hours is due to FS operators compliance with the 
Rural Microwave Flexibility Policy adopted and released on August 3,

waivers of the payload capacity requirements if Fixed Service (FS)

adding a new reporting and recordkeeping requirement to this
