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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0690.
    Title: Section 101.17, Performance Requirements for the 38.6-40.0 
GHz Frequency Band.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, Federal government, and state, local or tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents: 195.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 2 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Every 10 year reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 390 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    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. The Commission revised this collection by 
eliminating FCC Forms 415/415T. Those reporting requirements have been 
incorporated into FCC Form 601 under OMB Control Number 3060-0798. The 
Commission also removed Section 101.103 because it is approved under a 
separate OMB Control Number 3060-1023. The only remaining rule section 
in this information collection is Section 101.17.
    Section 101.17 requires all 38.6-40.0 GHz band licensees must 
demonstrate substantial service at the time of license renewal. A 
licensee's substantial service showing should include, but not be 
limited to, the following information for each channel for which they 
hold a license, in each EA or portion of EA covered by their license, 
in order to qualify for renewal of that license. The information 
provided will be judged by the Commission to determine whether the 
licensee is providing service which rises to the level of 
``substantial''. (1) A description of the 38.6-40.0 GHz band licensee's 
current service in terms of geographic coverage; (2) a description of 
the 38.6-40.0 GHz band licensee's current service in terms of 
population served, as well as any additional service provided during 
the license term; and (3) a description of the 38.6-40.0 GHz band 
licensee's investments in its system(s) (type of facilities constructed 
and their operational status is required). Any 38.6-40.0 GHz band 
licensees adjudged not to be providing substantial service will not 
have their licenses renewed.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
