    The information required by Section 101.1327 is used to determine 
whether a renewal applicant of a Multiple Address System has complied 
with the requirement to provide substantial service by the end of the 
ten-year license term. The FCC uses the information to determine 
whether the applicant's license will be renewed at the end of the 
license period.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0531.
    Title: Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS).
    Form No.: N/A.

    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as a revision

(OMB) in order to obtain the full three year clearance.
    The information requested in Parts 1, 2, and 101 of the 
Commission's rules establish rules and policies for Local Multipoint 
Distribution Service (LMDS). The information is used by the Commission 
staff in carrying out its duties to determine the technical, legal and 
other qualifications of applicants to operate and remain licensed to 
operate a station in the LMDS. Specifically, the frequency coordination 
information requested pursuant to Section 101.103 of the Commission's 
Rules is necessary to facilitate the rendition of communication service 
on an interference-free basis in each service area. The frequency 
coordination procedures ensure that LMDS applicants and licensees have 
the information necessary to cooperate in the selection and use of 
frequencies assigned in order to minimize interference and thereby 
obtain the most effective use of the spectrum. The information is also 
necessary for the Commission staff to resolve interference conflicts 
that cannot be settled between or among the affected applicants and 
licensees. For LMDS licensees seeking renewal, the information 
requested pursuant to Section 101.1011 of the Commission's Rules is 
necessary for the Commission staff to determine whether a licensee has 
provided sufficient evidence of substantial service during its license 
term and has substantially complied with the Communications Act and 
with applicable Commission rules and policies.
