Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not

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.

clearance from them.
    The Commission has eliminated two rule sections from this 
information collection. They are Sections 90.168 and 90.425. This 
leaves Section 90.483 as the only remaining rule section under this OMB 
Control Number which is 3060-0626. Rule section 90.168 is accounted for 
under OMB Control Number 3060-0076 and section 90.425 is accounted for 
under OMB Control Number 3060-0599.
    Section 90.483 requires when a frequency is shared by more than one 
system, automatic monitoring equipment must be installed at the base 
station to prevent activation of the transmitter when signals of co-
channel stations are present and activation would interfere with 
communications in progress. Licensees may operate without this 
equipment if they have obtained the consent of all co-channel licensees 
located within a 120 kilometer (75 mile) radius of the interconnected 
base station transmitter. A statement must be submitted to the 
Commission indicating that all co-channel licensees have consented to 
operate without the monitoring equipment (reporting and third party 
disclosure requirements).
    The information is used by Commission staff in carrying out its 
duties under the Communications Act. Without this information, the 
Commission would not be able to carry out its statutory 
responsibilities. This information is necessary to ensure that 
licensees comply with the Commission's technical and operational 
duties.

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