Review and Approval to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB),
Comments Requested
March 30, 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 for 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 May 5, 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0295.
Title: Section 90.607(a)(1) and (b)(1), Supplemental Information To
Be Furnished By Applicants For Facilities Under Subpart S.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
[[Page 17142]]
Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 3,788 respondents; 3,788
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .25 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One time reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
U.S.C. 308(b).
Total Annual Burden: 947 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No questions of a
confidential nature are asked.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget during
this comment period under delegated authority. The Commission
inadvertently published a regular notice rather than a delegated notice
announcing submission of this information collection at the end of the
60 day comment period which was March 29, 2010 (75 FR 4077, January 26,
2010). Therefore, the Commission is required to publish a 30 day notice
following a regular notice. The Commission is reporting no change to
the reporting requirement. However, there is a 1,436 hour reduction
adjustment to the total annual burden hours since the last submission
to the OMB in 2007. This reduction is due to 5,743 fewer respondents.
This rule section requires that affected applicants to submit a
list of any radio facilities they hold within 40 miles of the base
station transmitter site being applied for. This information is used to
determine if an applicant's proposed system is necessary in light of
communications facilities it already owns. Such a determination helps
the Commission to equitably distribute limited spectrum and prevents
spectrum warehousing. The information is collected only once - upon
initial license application.
