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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060-0865.
    Title: Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Universal Licensing 
System (ULS) Recordkeeping and Third Party Disclosure Requirements.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents: 70,447 respondents; 70,447 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .25--4 hours (average).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, 
recordkeeping requirement, and third party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 63,446 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is a need for 
confidentiality with respect to all Private Land Mobile Radio service 
filers in this collection. Information on the private land mobile radio 
licensees is maintained in the Commission's system of records, FCC/WTB-
1, ``Wireless Services Licensing Records.'' The licensee records will 
be publicly available and routinely used in accordance with subsection 
b. of the Privacy Act. Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) and 
material which is afforded confidential treatment pursuant to a request 
made under 47 CFR 0.459 will not be available for public inspection. 
Any personally identifiable information (PII) that individual 
applicants provide is covered by a system of records reference above 
and these and all other records may be disclosed pursuant to the 
Routine Uses as stated in the system of records notice dated April 5, 
2006 (71 FR 17234, 17269).
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to OMB as an extension (no change in reporting requirements, 
recordkeeping requirements and/or third party disclosure requirements) 
during this comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from 
them. The Commission reduced the total annual burden due to an 
adjustment in the number of responses by licensees who operate within 
the various service categories of this information collection gathered 
from the Commission's ULS and CORES databases.
    The purpose of this collection is to streamline the set of rules 
which minimize filing requirements via the Universal Licensing System 
(ULS); to eliminate redundant and unnecessary submission requirements; 
and to assure ongoing collection of reliable licensing and ownership 
data. The recordkeeping and third party disclosure requirements, along 
with certifications which made via ULS are ways the Commission reduced 
the filing burden on the industry. However, applicants must maintain 
records to document compliance with the requirements for which they 
provide certifications. In some instances, third party coordinations 
are required.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-1007.
    Title: Streamlining and Other Revisions of Part 25 of the 
Commission's Rules.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 28 respondents; 28 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 2.89 hours (average).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, annual and other reporting 
requirements and third party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 9,688 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $95,194,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is a need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to OMB as an extension (no change in reporting requirements, 
recordkeeping requirements and/or third party disclosure requirements) 
during this comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from 
them. There is no change in the number of respondents, total annual 
burden hours or annual costs.
    On April 16, 2004, the Commission released a Fourth Report and 
Order, IB Docket Numbers 02-34 and 00-248, FCC 04-92. In this Order, 
the Commission extended the mandatory

electronic filing to all space station and earth station applications, 
related pleadings, and other filings governed by Part 25. Direct 
Broadcast Satellite (DBS) and Digital Audio Radio Service (DARS) 
licensees can now use a streamlined procedure when relocating 
satellites for fleet management purposes. Currently, this procedure is 
only limited to Geostationary Satellite Orbit (GSO) licensees. The 
Commission referred to such relocations as ``fleet management'' license 
modifications. This change will enable the Commission to act on DBS 
fleet management modifications faster. Under this streamlined 
procedure, the DBS and DARS licensees may modify its license without 
prior authorization, but upon 30 days prior notice to the Commission 
and any potentially affected licensed spectrum user. In order to 
utilize the streamlined procedure, the operator is required to meet 
certain technical requirements contained in Part 25.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
