SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval Number: 3060-0441.
    Title: Section 90.621(b)(4) Selection and assignment of frequency.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit; State or Local 
Governments; Non-profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 33.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1.5 hours per respondent; however the 
Commission estimates approximately 75% of the respondents will contract 
out the burden of responding. It will take these respondents 
approximately 30 minutes to obtain these services.
    Total Annual Burden: 25 hours.
    Needs and Uses: Applicants wishing to locate co-channel systems 
less than 70 miles from an existing system operating on the same 
channel may do so upon specific request. If the request falls under a 
Table provided in the rules, certain information about the co-channel 
station is required. In this instance no waiver of the short spacing 
rule is required. If the request is for distances less than those 
prescribed in the table, a waiver of the short spacing rule is 
required. The Commission used the information to determine whether to 
grant licenses to applicants whose systems do not satisfy mileage 
separation requirements.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
