SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0690.
    OMB Approval Date: September 1, 2006.
    Expiration Date: September 30, 2009.
    Title: Section 101.17, Performance Requirements for the 38.6-40.0 
GHz Frequency Band--(Note Title Change).
    Form No.: N/A.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 195 responses; 390 total annual burden 
hours; $52,000.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is revising this information 
collection because we have eliminated FCC Forms 415/415T from this 
collection because the reporting requirements have been incorporated 
into FCC Form 601 (OMB Control No. 3060-0798). We also removed Section 
101.103 from this collection because it is approved under a separate 
OMB Control Number 3060-0718. The only remaining rule in this 
collection is Section 101.17, which requires licensees on frequencies 
in the 38.6-40.0 GHz band to demonstrate substantial performance when 
their license terms expire, in order to renew their licenses.
    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 that 
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.
