FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION



 
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Approved by the Office 

of Management and Budget



August 18, 2008.

SUMMARY:  The Federal Communications Commission has received Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 

information collection(s) pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). An agency may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number, and no person is required to respond to a collection of 

information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. 

Comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimate(s) and any 

suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the person 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section below.



FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leslie Haney, Leslie.Haney@fcc.gov, 

(202) 418-1002.



SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    OMB Control Number: 3060-1080.

    OMB Approval Date: August 1, 2008.

    Expiration Date: August 31, 2011.

    Title: Collection for the Prevention or Elimination of Interference 

and for the Reconfiguration of the 800 MHz Band.

    Form No.: Not applicable.

    Estimated Annual Burden: 6,269 responses; 4.5104 hours per 

response; 28,276 hours total per year.

    Obligation to Respond: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission will work with 

respondents to ensure that their concerns regarding the confidentiality 

of any proprietary or public safety-sensitive information are resolved 

in a manner consistent with the Commission's rules. See 47 CFR 0.459.

    Needs and Uses: The information sought will assist 800 MHz 

licensees in preventing or resolving interference and enable the 

Commission to implement its rebanding program. Under that program, 

certain licensees are being relocated to new frequencies in the 800 MHz 

band, with all rebanding costs to be paid by Sprint Nextel Corporation 

(Sprint). The Commission's overarching objective in this proceeding is 

to eliminate interference to public safety communications. The 

Commission's orders provided for the 800 MHz licensees in non-border 

areas to complete rebanding by June 26, 2008. This collection is being 

revised to incorporate the waiver request information collection 

previously approved under OMB control number 3060-1114.



Federal Communications Commission.

Marlene H. Dortch,

Secretary.
