following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before July 6, 2004. If you anticipate that you will be 
submitting PRA 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments to Judith 
B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C804, 445 12th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0779.
    Title: Amendment of Part 90 of the Commission's Rules to Provide 
for Use of the 200 MHz Band by the Private Land Mobile Radio Service, 
PR Docket No. 89-552.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and State, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 2,124.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1-20 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 35,249 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $998,348.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No.
    Needs and Uses: This collection includes rules to govern the future 
operation and licensing of the 200-222 MHz band (220 MHz service). In 
establishing this licensing plan, FCC's goal is to establish a flexible 
regulatory framework that allows for efficient licensing of the 220 MHz 
service, eliminates unnecessary regulatory burdens, and enhances the 
competitive potential of the 220 MHz service in the mobile service 
marketplace. However, as with any licensing and operational plan for a 
radio service, a certain number of regulatory and information burdens 
are necessary to verify licensees compliance with FCC rules. This 
collection of information is being revised because several reporting 
requirements have been met and are no longer in effect.

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