FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. 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 collection 
burden on 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 control number. No person shall be 
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before December 
27, 2013. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but 
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this 
notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to the Federal Communications 
Commission via email to PRA@fcc.gov and Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0626.
    Title: Section 90.483, Permissible Methods and Requirements of 
Interconnecting Private and Public Systems of Communications.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

    Number of Respondents and Responses: 100 respondents; 100 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements; Third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
Sections 4(i), 11, 303(g), 303(r), and 332(c)(7) of the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. sections 154(i), 161, 303(g),

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection.
    Needs and Uses: When a frequency is shared by more than one system, 
automatic monitoring equipment must be installed at the base station to 
prevent activation of the transmitter when signals of co-channel 
stations are present and activation would interfere with communications 
in progress. Licensees may operate without the monitoring equipment if 
they have obtained the consent of all co-channel licensees located 
within a 120 kilometer (75 mile) radius of the interconnected base 
station transmitter. A statement must be submitted to the Commission 
indicating that all co-channel licensees have consented to operate 
without the monitoring equipment. This information is necessary to 
ensure that licensees comply with the Commission's technical and 
operational rules, and to prevent activation of the transmitter when 
signals of co-channel stations are present and could possibly interfere 
with communications in process.

Federal Communications Commission.
