SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Approval No.: 3060-0491.
    Title: Section 74.991 Wireless cable application procedures.
    Form No.: FCC 330/FCC 304.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 100.
    Estimated Hours Per Response: 4.5 hours (0.5 respondent/4 hours 
attorney).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Cost to Respondents: $116,240.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 50 hours.
    Needs and Uses: Section 74.991 requires that a wireless cable 
application be filed on FCC Form 330 (3060-0062), Sections I and V, 
with a complete Form 494 appended. The application must include a cover 
letter clearly indicating that the application is for a wireless cable 
entity to operate on ITFS channels. The applicant must also, within 30 
days of filing its application give local public notice in a newspaper. 
The specific data that must be included in the newspaper publication is 
contained in Section 74.991(c). The notice must be published twice a 
week for two consecutive weeks. The data is used by FCC staff to insure 
that proposals to operate a wireless cable system on ITFS channels do 
not impair or restrict any reasonably foreseeable ITFS use. The data is 
also used to insure that applicants are qualified to become a 
Commission licensee and that proposals do not cause interference.

    OMB Approval No.: 3060-0490.
    Title: Section 74.902 Frequency assignments.
    Form No.: FCC 330/FCC 327.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 5.
    Estimated Hours Per Response: 0.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Cost to Respondents: $0.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2.5 hours.
    Needs and Uses: Section 74.902 dictates that when a point-to-point 
ITFS station on the E and F MDS channels is involuntarily displaced by 
an MDS applicant, that the MDS applicant files the appropriate 
application for suitable alternative spectrum. The applications that 
would be used would be the FCC 327 (3060-0055) and the Form 330 (3060-
0062). The burdens for these involuntarily displaced ITFS stations are 
included in the estimates for the FCC 327 and FCC 330. Additionally, 
Section 74.902(i) requires that a copy of this application be served on 
the ITFS licensee to be moved. The data will be used by the ITFS 
licensee to oppose the involuntary migration if the proposal would not 
provide comparable ITFS service and to ensure that the public interest 
is served.

    OMB Control No: 3060-0939.
    Title: E911-Second Memorandum and Order.
    Form No: N.A.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.

institutions, state, local or tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents: 50.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: Occasional reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 50 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: 0.
    Needs and Uses: Commercial Mobile Radio Service carriers and Public 
Safety Answering Points who can't agree on the choice of enhanced 911

assist in reaching an accord. The requested information will be used by 
the Commission to enable it to fully participate in negotiations.
