FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority, Comments Requested

April 16, 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 June 21, 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

    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

[[Page 20996]]

    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. sections 154(i) and 309(j).
    Total Annual Burden: 264 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $40,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    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. There is no change in the reporting and/or recordkeeping 
requirements. The Commission has adjusted the total annual burden by 44 
hours and $6,000 in annual costs which is due to 11 additional 
respondents. Therefore, the total annual burden has been recalculated 
and increased to 264 hours.
    Section 90.665 requires each Major Trading Area (MTA) licensee in 
the 896-901/935-940 MHz bands must, three years from the date of 
license grant, construct and place into operation a sufficient number 
of base stations to provide coverage to at least one-third of the 
population of the MTA. Further, each MTA licensee must provide coverage 
to at least two-thirds of the population of the MTA five years from the 
date of license grant. Alternatively, a MTA licensee must demonstrate, 
through a showing to the Commission five years from the date of license 
grant, that it is providing substantial service. The MTA licensee must 
also demonstrate that other substantial service benchmarks will be met.
    The information verifying construction requirement will be used by 
the Commission to determine whether the licensee has met the 900 MHz 
MTA construction requirements. Information will be submitted on FCC 
Form 601 (OMB Control No. 3060-0798) electronically.
