Channels to obtain written concurrence
from its Statewide Interoperability
Coordinator (SWIC) or a State appointed
official and include such written
concurrence with its application for
license. A non-Federal public safety
entity may communicate on designated
Federal Interoperability Channels for
joint Federal/non-Federal operations,
provided it first obtains a license from
the Commission authorizing use of the
channels. Statutory authority for these
collections are contained in 47 U.S.C.
151, 154, 301, 303, and 332 of the
Communications Act of 1934.
Total Annual Burden: 10,150 hours.

Needs and Uses: This collection will

to obtain the full three-year clearance.
The purpose of requiring a non-Federal
public safety entity to obtain written
consent from its SWIC or State
appointed official before
communicating with Federal
Government agencies on the Federal
Interoperability Channels is to ensure
that the non-Federal public safety entity
operates in accordance with the rules
and procedures governing use of the
Federal interoperability channels and
does not cause inadvertent interference
during emergencies. Commission staff
will use the written concurrence from
the SWIC or Ftate appointed official to
determine if an applicant’s proposed
operation on the Federal
Interoperability Channels conforms to
the terms of an agreement signed by the
SWIC or State appointed official with a
Federal user with a valid assignment
from the National Telecommunications
and Information Administration (NTIA)
which has jurisdiction over the
channels.
