FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested
July 8, 2010.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. Comments are
requested concerning: (a) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, and (e)
ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of
information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not
display a currently valid OMB control number.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before September 13, 2010. If you anticipate that you
will be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within
the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC
contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of
Management and Budget, via fax at 202-395-5167 or via the Internet at

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
U.S.C. sections 154(i), 303(g), 303(r), and 332(a).
Total Annual Burden: 23,433 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $657,500.

Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
after this comment period to obtain the full three year clearance from
them. The Commission is reporting an extension (no change in the
reporting and/or third party disclosure requirements).
This collection includes rules to govern the future operation and
licensing of the 220-222 MHz band (220 MHz service). In establishing
this licensing plan, the FCC's goal is to establish a flexible
regulator framework that allows for efficient licensing in the 220 MHz
service, eliminates unnecessary regulatory burdens, and enhances the
competitive potential of the 220 MHz service in the mobile service
marketplace. However, as with any licensing and operational plan for a
radio service, a certain number of regulatory and information
collection requirements are necessary to verify licensee compliance
with Part 90 and 97 rules.
