following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1048.
    Title: Section 1.929(c)(1), Composite Interference Contour (CIC).
    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: 50 respondents; 50 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 100 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to OMB as a revision during this comment period to obtain 
the full three-year clearance from them. Under Section 1.929(c)(1) of 
the Commission's rules, any increase in the composite interference 
contour (CIC) of a site-based licensee in the Paging and Radiotelephone 
Service, Rural Radiotelephone Service, or 800 MHz Specialized Mobile 
Radio Service is considered a major modification of a license that 
requires prior Commission approval.
    However, on February 22, 2005, the Commission released a Report and 
Order in WT Docket No. 03-130 (70 FR 19293), in which it amended 
section 1.929(c)(1), to specify that expansion of a composite 
interference contour of a site-based licensee in the Paging and 
Radiotelephone Service--as well as the Rural Radiotelephone Service and 
800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio Service--over water on a secondary, 
non-interference basis should be classified as a minor (rather than 
major) modification of a license. Such reclassification has eliminated 
the filing requirements associated with these license modifications, 
but requires site-based licensees to provide the geographic area 
licensee (on the same frequency) with the technical and engineering 
information necessary to evaluate the site-based licensee's operations 
over water. The need for this collection is to enable the geographic 
licensee to have technical and engineering information regarding a 
site-based licensee's operations over water in order to guard against 
unacceptable interference to its own operation(s).

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Deputy Secretary.
