Regulatory Flexibility in the 218-219 MHz Service, WT Docket 98-168.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 140.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .50 to 4 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and one-time reporting 
requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 980 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: This new information collection requirement allows 
the Commission to offer 218-219 MHz service licensees various options 
for their existing installment payment options. This will allow 
licensees to meet their financial obligations and ensure rapid 
provision for the 218-219 MHz service to the public.
    The information reporting requirements in WT Docket No. 98-168, 
Report and Order, will be used to advise the Commission for the option 
chosen by the Eligible Licensees. Additionally, the Commission will 
know the amount due under the various options selected by the Eligible 
Licensees. This will permit the Commission to determine if a licensee 
subsequently defaults. In addition, this information will allow the 
Commission to offer the licenses returned under the Amnesty and 
Prepayment options in a subsequent auction.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
