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 July 14, 2006. If

    Section 90.621 requires a fixed mileage separation of 113 km (70 
miles) between co-channel 800 and 900 MHz systems. However, section 
90.621(b)(4) provides that co-channel stations may be separated by less 
than 113 km (70 miles) by meeting certain transmitter ERP and antenna 
height criteria, as listed in the Commission's Short-Spacing Table. 
Previously, engineering showings were submitted with applications 
demonstrating that a certain addition or modification would not cause 
interference to other licensees, even though the stations would be less 
distance apart. Section 90.621(b)(5) states that the separation between 
co-channel systems may be less than the separations table if an 
applicant submits with its application letters of concurrence 
indicating that the applicant and each co-channel licensee within the 
specified separation agree to accept any interference resulting from 
the reduced separation between their systems. Each letter from a co-
channel licensee must certify that the system of the concurring 
licensee is constructed and fully operational. The applicant must also 
submit with its application a certificate of service indicating that 
all concurring co-channel licensees have been served with an actual 
copy of the application.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
