and/or to notify the Commission of certain changes in the licensed 
facilities. The data is used by FCC staff to confirm that the station 
has been built to terms specified in the outstanding construction 
permit and to ensure that any changes made to the station will not have 
an impact on other stations and the public. Data is extracted from FCC 
Form 302-TV for inclusion in the license to operate the station.

wireless E911 service providers must be capable of transmitting 911 
calls made using TTY devices by June 30, 2002. In order to ensure that 
carriers comply with this rule and to keep the Commission informed of 
technological advancements in this regard, the Fourth Report and Order 
requires that carriers file a quarterly TTY progress report, either 
individually or through an industry forum.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0970.

    Total Annual Burden: 500 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: Section 90.621 requires applicants proposing to 
modify operations to use channels for commercial purposes in certain 
frequency bands in 800 MHz to provide written notice of the 
modification to all Public Safety licensees within 70 miles of the site 
of the channels for which the authorization for commercial use is 
sought that operate within 25 kHz of the center of those channels. This 
requirement seeks to avoid the potential of interference that could 
result from the modification of a Private Land Mobile radio facility to 
commercial use. If the information were not available there would be an 
increased risk of interference in this band.
