SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
OMB Control No: 30600307.
Title: Parts 1, 22 and 90 of the Commission's Rules to Facilitate
Development of Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) Systems in the 800 MHz Frequency Band.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit; notforprofit institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 272 respondents; 272 responses. Estimated Time Per Response: 2.5 3.5 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Total Annual Burden: 173 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $78,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality.
Need and Uses: The Commission is submitting this information
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under delegated
authority at the end of this 60 day comment period in order to obtain
the full three year clearance from them. There is an adjustment
reduction in the burden hours and annual costs. The burden hours have
been reduced by 351 hours and the annual costs have been reduced by $226,000.
For this submission to the OMB, the Commission is requesting an
extension with no changes to the reporting and/or third party
disclosure requirements. The Commission has adjusted the number of
respondents based on its experience with application receipts over the
past three years. In addition, the Commission is no longer auctioning
800 MHz spectrum and thus, there will be no respondents for information
collections associated with 800 MHz auctions. We also note that the
three year time period for filing transfer disclosure information [[Page 55846]]
following the auction of 800 MHz licenses has passed for all three 800
MHz auctions (upper, lower and general). Therefore, there will be no
respondents for information collections associated with transfer disclosures during the next collection period.
The information will be used by the Commission to update the
Commission's licensing database and thereby facilitate the successful
coexistence of Economic Area (EA) licensees and incumbents in the 800 MHz SMR band.
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
