    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

    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB 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.

requires public safety broadband waiver recipients to certify, at

The revised information collections required under this Order will 
enable the Commission and Bureau to monitor the progress of 700 MHz

ensure that such deployments are consistent with the Commission's long-
standing goal of ensuring nationwide interoperability among public 
safety broadband networks.

    Federal Communications Commission.
