FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for 
Review to the Office of Management and Budget

September 28, 2005.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, 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(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 November 4, 2005. 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.: 3060-1070.
    Title: Allocations and Service Rules for 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, and 
92-95 GHz Bands.
    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 and tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 0.5 hours--1.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, 
recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 12,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $1,830,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted a Memorandum Opinion and 
Order, WT Docket No. 02-146, FCC 05-45, which revises the rules to 
require licensees, as part of the link registration process, to submit 
to the Database Manager (DM) an analysis under the interference 
protection criteria for the 70-80 GHz bands that demonstrates that the 
proposed link will neither cause nor receive harmful interference 
relative to previously registered non-government links. This 
requirement will apply to link registrations (new or modified) that are 
first submitted to a database manager on or after the effective date of 
this new requirement. The database managers will accept all 
interference analyses submitted during the link registration process 
and retain them electronically for subsequent review by the public. It 
is important for the ``first-in-time'' determination, and for 
adjudicating complaints filed with the Commission, that the 
interference analysis captures the exact snapshot in time (i.e., 
conditions at the time-of-link registration) that will be dispositive 
in a dispute. Without the benefit of an interference analysis on file, 
it would be much more difficult for registrants to recreate conditions 
accurately after the fact.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
