for Review and Approval

November 15, 2000.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commissions, 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, 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 Commission's 
burden estimate; (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 December 21, 
2000. 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 Les Smith, Federal Communications 
Commission, Room 1-A804, 445 12th Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20554 or 
via the Internet to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0783.
    Title: 47 CFR Section 90.176, Coordination Notification 
Requirements on Frequencies below 512 MHz.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 15.
    Estimate Time Per Response: 0.5 hours (multiple responses/annum).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements; Third 
party collection.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,950 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: None.
    Needs and Uses: The revision to the reporting requirement in 47 CFR 
Section 90.176 resulted from the decisions in the Second MO&O in PR 
Docket No. 96-86 that add the frequency bands 764-776/794-806 MHz. The 
rule requires each Private Land Mobile frequency coordinator to 
provide, within one business day, a list of their frequency 
recommendations to all other frequency coordinators in their respective 
pool, and if requested, an engineering analysis. This requirement is 
necessary to avoid situations where harmful interference is created 
because two or more coordinators recommend the same frequency in the 
same area at approximately the same time to different applicants.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0895.
    Title: Numbering Resource Optimization, CC Docket No. 99-200.
    Form Number: FCC 502.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; State, local, 
or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 2,780.
    Estimate Time Per Response: 1 to 44.4 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; On occasion, semi-annual, and 
one-time reporting requirements; Third party disclosure.
    Total Annual Burden: 181,890 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: $7,858,650.
    Needs and Uses: Carriers that receive numbering resources from the 
North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) or that receive 
other numbering resources from a Pooling Administrator in thousands-
blocks must report forecast and utilization data semi-annually. These 
carriers are also required to maintain detailed internal records of 
their numbering usage. Carriers must file applications for initial and 
growth numbering resources. The FCC, state regulatory commissions, and 
NANPA will use this information to monitor numbering resource 
utilization and to project the dates when area codes and NANP will be 
exhausted.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
