Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: State, local or tribal government; not-for-profit institutions. Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,172 respondents; 1,172 responses. Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour (range of 1 hour to 628 hours). Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements; one-time reporting requirements; and third party disclosure requirements.

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality. Needs and Uses: Section 90.523 requires that non-governmental organizations that provide services which protect the safety of life or property obtain a written statement from an authorizing state or local government entity to support the nongovernmental organization’s application for assignment of 700 MHz frequencies. Section 90.527 requires 700 MHz regional planning regions to submit an initial plan for use of the 700 MHz general use spectrum in the consolidated narrowband segment 769– 775 MHz and 799–805 MHz. Regional planning committees may modify plans by written request, which must contain the full text of the modification and certification that the modification was successfully coordinated with adjacent regions. Regional planning promotes a fair and open process in developing allocation assignments by requiring input from eligible entities in the allocation decisions and the application technical review/approval process. Entities that seek inclusion in the plan to obtain future licenses are considered third party respondents. Section 90.1211 authorizes the fifty-five 700 MHz regional planning committees to develop and submit on a voluntary basis a plan on guidelines for coordination procedures to facilitate the shared use of 4940–4990 MHz (4.9 GHz) band, the Commission has stayed this requirement indefinitely. Applicants are granted a geographic area license for the entire fifty MHz of 4.9 GHz spectrum over a geographical area defined by the boundaries of their jurisdiction—city, county or state. Accordingly, licensees PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17151 are required to coordinate their operations in the shared band to avoid interference, a common practice when joint operations are conducted. Commission staff will use the information to assign licenses, determine regional spectrum requirements and to develop technical standards. The information will also be used to determine whether prospective licensees operate in compliance with the Commission’s rules. Without such information, the Commission could not accommodate regional requirements or provide for the efficient use of the available frequencies. This information collection includes rules to govern the operation and licensing of the 700 MHz and 4.9 GHz bands rules and regulation to ensure that licensees continue to fulfill their statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Such information will continue to be used to verify that applicants are legally and technically qualified to hold licenses, and to determine compliance with Commission rules.
