FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

April 14, 2006.
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 May 24, 2006. 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.: 3060-0718.
    Title: Part 101, Governing the Terrestrial Microwave Fixed Radio 
Service.
    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: 10,000 respondents; 6,364 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .25-3 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and every 10 year reporting 
requirements, recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure 
requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 36,585 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $474,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this information 
collection to OMB as a revision in order to obtain the full three-year 
clearance from them. Part 101 requires various information to be filed 
and maintained by the respondent to determine the technical, legal and 
other qualifications of applications to operate a station in the public 
and private operational fixed services. The information is also used to 
determine whether the public interest, convenience, and necessity are 
being served as required by 47 U.S.C. 309. The Commission staff also 
uses this information to ensure that applicants and licensee comply 
with ownership and transfer restrictions imposed by 47 U.S.C. 310. The 
Appendix attached to the OMB submission lists the rules in Part 101 
that impose reporting, recordkeeping and third party disclosure 
requirements. The Commission revised this information collection to 
remove Part 101 rule sections that have no PRA implications. The total 
annual burden hours and costs have been modified accordingly.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
