FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for 
Review to the Office of Management and Budget, Comments Requested

June 25, 2008.
SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to comment on the following 
information collection(s). 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. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB 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 that does not display a valid OMB control 
number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before July 30, 
2008. If you anticipate that you will be submitting PRA comments, but

notice, you should advise the FCC contact listed below as soon as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1080.
    Title: Collections for the Prevention or Elimination of 
Interference and for the Reconfiguration of the 800 MHZ Band.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; and/or State, 
local or tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents: 2,420 respondents; 6,269 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 4.5104 hours (range of 30 minutes to 
10 hours).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 28,276 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $62,400.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission will work with 
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 
licensees in preventing or resolving interference and enable the 
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, but the Commission has 
allowed licensees to seek extension of that deadline through waiver 
requests. This collection is being revised to incorporate the waiver 
request information collection previously approved under OMB control 
number 3060-1114.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
