SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its

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 
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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before June 23, 
2008. 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.

local or tribal governments.

respondents to ensure that their concerns regarding the confidentiality 
of any proprietary or public safety-sensitive information are resolved 
in a manner consistent with the Commission's rules. See 47 CFR 0.459.
    Needs and Uses: The information sought will assist 800-MHz

Commission to implement its rebanding program. Under that program, 
certain licensees are being relocated to new frequencies in the 800-MHz 
band, with all rebanding costs to be paid by Sprint Nextel Corporation 
(Sprint). The Commission's overarching objective in this proceeding is 
to eliminate interference to public safety communications. The 
Commission's orders provided for the 800-MHz licensees in non-border 
areas to complete rebanding by June 26, 2008. This collection is being 
revised to incorporate the waiver request information collection 
previously approved under OMB control number 3060-1114.
