SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0658.
    Title: Section 27.1213, Designated Entity Provisions of Broadband 
Radio Service (BRS), (formerly Multipoint Distribution Service).
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for profit.
    Number of Respondents: 60.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 60 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: $4,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission has changed the rule section number 
from 21.960 to 27.1213. Additionally, Multipoint Distribution Service 
is now described as Broadband Radio Service (BRS). This rule section 
requires winning bidders who are designated entities (small businesses) 
to file with its long-form application or statement of intention an 
exhibit which includes eligibility requirements. This exhibit should 
also list and summarize all agreements that affect designated entity 
status. The recordkeeping requirement and audit provisions of section 
27.1213(f) and (g) are necessary to prevent abuse of the special 
measures offered to those BRS auction winners claiming designated 
entity status. The Commission is requesting extension (no material 
change) to this information collection.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0998.
    Title: Section 87.109, Station Logs.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 3.

    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 300 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The rule section is necessary to require each fixed 
station in the International Aeronautical Mobile Service (IAMS) to 
maintain a written or automatic log in accordance with the provisions 
of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Convention. The 
log is necessary to document the service fixed stations, including the 
harmful interference, equipment failure, and logging of distress and 
safety calls where applicable. The information is used by the 
Commission during inspections and investigations to insure the 
particular station is licensed and operated in compliance with 
applicable rules, statutes, and treaties. If the information were not 
collected, documentation concerning station operations would not be 
available, and the fixed stations in the IAMS can not comply with 
treaty requirements.
