FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collections Submitted to OMB for 
Review and Approval

March 18, 1996.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications, 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 proposed 
and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency 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 valid control 
number. 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 Commissions 
burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information collected and (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.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before April 24, 
1996. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Dorothy Conway, Federal 
Communications, Room 234, 1919 M St., N.W., Washington, DC 20554 or via

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

    OMB Approval No.: 3060-0444.
    Title: 220 and 800 MHZ Construction Letter.
    Form No.: 800A.
    Type of Review: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other-for-profit; individuals or 
households.
    Number of Respondents: 11,500.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
    Total Annual Burden: 11,500 hours.
    Total Annualized Cost per respondent: There are no start up or 
operational and maintenance costs associated with this collection.
    Needs and Uses: The commission requests this collection of 
information as a method for licensees to provide information to verify 
a station has been placed into operation and to notify the Commission 
of the actual number of mobile units placed in operation after license 
grant. From this data, the Commission is able to determine full 
capacity channel loading, making frequencies available for assignment 
and modifying or cancelling licenses. The data collected ensures 
licensees are not authorized for more mobiles than they are actually 
using. The data collected is required by the Communications Act and FCC 
Rules 90.155, 90.313, 90.495, 90.496, 90.631, 90.633, 90.651, 90.725 
and 90.737. The entities identified in the current 800A letter, such as 
trunked, convention, etc., have been re-named as CMRS and PMRS. The 
current 800A letter requests a breakdown in the types of mobiles and 
control stations, while the proposed 800A letter asks for a total 
number of mobiles and the number of parties affiliated with, controlled 
by, or related to the provider. The number of responses and estimated 
burden remains unchanged.

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