Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 21242 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 72 / Tuesday, April 15, 2014 / Notices Number of Respondents and Responses: 2155 respondents; 2155 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour (range of 1 hour to 2 hours). Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements; one-time reporting requirements; and third party disclosure. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 161, 303(g), 303(r), and 332(c)(7). Total Annual Burden: 2,208 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality. Needs and Uses: Section 90.525 of the Commission’s rules requires approval of license applications for Interoperability channels in the 769–775 MHz and 799– 805 MHz frequency bands by state-level agency or organization responsible for administering emergency communications. Section 90.529 of the Commission’s rules provides that each state license will be granted subject to the condition that the state certifies on or before each applicable benchmark date that it is providing or prepared to provide ‘‘substantial service.’’ See OMB Control No. 3060–0798. A licensee must demonstrate that it is providing or prepared to provide substantial service to one third of its geographic area or population by June 13, 2014 and two thirds by June 13, 2019. A licensee will be deemed to be prepared to provide substantial service if the licensee certifies that a radio system has been approved and funded for implementation by the deadline date. Substantial service refers to service which is sound, favorable, and substantially above a level of mediocre service which might minimally warrant renewal. If a state licensee fails to meet any condition of the grant the state license is modified automatically to the frequencies and geographic areas where the state certifies that it is providing substantial service. Any recovered state license spectrum will revert to General Use. However, spectrum licensed to a state under a state license remains unavailable for reassignment to other applicants until the Commission’s database reflects the parameters of the modified state license. By Public Notice released April 7, 2014, DA 14–467, the Commission provided guidance on information licensees may provide to demonstrate substantial service, including the kind of public safety service that the licensee is providing with the system; which state channels VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:06 Apr 14, 2014 Jkt 232001 are in use in the system; whether the licensee’s has made its showing based on territory or population served; the percentage of territory/population served by the system footprint; and what signal level is being used to determine the system footprint. Section 90.531 of the Commission’s rules sets forth the band plan for the 763–775 MHz and 793–805 MHz public safety bands. This section covers channel designations for base and mobile use, narrowband segments, combined channels, channel pairing, internal guard band, and broadband. Narrowband general use channels and low power channels require regional planning committee concurrence. Commission staff will use the information to assign licenses for interoperability and General Use channels, as well as renewal of State licenses. 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 State interoperability or regional planning requirements or provide for the efficient use of State frequencies. This information collection includes rules to govern the operation and licensing of 700 MHz band systems 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.
