    Title: Section 90.187, Trunking in the Bands Between 150 and 512 
MHz; and Sections 90.425 and 90.647, Station Identification.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities and state, local 
or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 6,679 respondents; 6,679 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .25 hours to 3 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 154(i), 309(j) and 332 of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 8,231 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: On April 18 2013, the Commission in a Fifth Report 
and Order, FCC 13-52, adopted changes to 47 CFR 90.425 of the 
Commission's rules to allow Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) licensees 
in the bands between 150 and 512 MHz that are licensed on an exclusive 
basis to transmit station identification information in digital format, 
on the condition that the licensee will provide the Commission with 
information sufficient to decode the digital transmission to ascertain 
the call sign transmitted. However, this gives a new group of licensee 
stations (PLMRs) an option regarding the method of transmission of 
required call sign information; it modifies the existing burden, and 
slightly increase the in-house cost burden--specifically the cost 
associated with providing the Commission sufficient information to 
decode the transmission--unless they choose the digital transmission 
option. Finally, the other part of this revision is adding one 
additional rule section which is 90.187 to this existing information 
collection.
