SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
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 October 1, 2007. If you anticipate that you will 
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the

    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this revision to the OMB

clearance from them. This information collection is being revised to 
combine it with another collection (OMB Control No. 3060-1027). Guard 
Band Managers' agreements requirements (3060-1027) are now included in 
the same proceedings with power and antenna height limits (3060-1008). 
Upon OMB approval, the Commission will discontinue 3060-1027.
    The information gathered in this collection will be used to support 
the development of new services in the lower 700 MHz band while still 
protecting television operations that continue to occupy the band 
throughout the transition to digital television. Further, Guard Band 
Managers are required to enter into written agreements with other 
licensees who plan on using their licensed spectrum by others, subject 
to certain conditions outlined in the rules. They must retain these 
records for at least two years after the date such agreements expire. 
Such records need to be kept current and made available upon request 
for inspection by the Commission or its representatives.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
