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 (PRA), Public Law 104-13. An

displays a currently valid control number. Subject to the PRA, no 
person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a 
collection of information 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.

24, 2007. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but 
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this 
notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.623(c) requires applicants to submit a 
technical showing to establish that their proposed facilities will not 
result in additional interference to TV broadcast and DTV operations. 
The Commission permits broadcasters to agree to proposed DTV facilities 
that do not conform to the initial allotment parameters, even though 
they might be affected by potential new interference. The Commission 
will consider granting applications on the basis of interference 
agreements if it finds that such grants will serve the public interest. 
These agreements must be signed by all parties to the agreement. In 
addition, the Commission needs the following information to enable such 
public interest determinations: A list of parties predicted to receive 
additional interference from the proposed facility, a showing as to why 
a grant based on the agreements would serve the public interest, and 
technical studies depicting the additional interference. The technical 
showings and interference agreements will be used by FCC staff to 
determine if the public interest would be served by the grant of the 
application and to ensure that the proposed facilities will not result 
in additional interference.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
