FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Public Information Collections Approved by Office of Management 
and Budget

September 8, 2008.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

[[Page 54595]]

approval for the following public information collections pursuant to 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public L. 104-13. An agency may 
not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control 
number.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Schauble, Deputy Chief, Broadband 
Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, Federal Communications 
Commission at (202) 418-0797.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-1094.
    OMB Approval Date: 9/8/2008.
    Expiration Date: 9/30/2011.
    Title: Licensing, Operation, and Transition of the 2495-2690 MHz 
Band--WT Docket Nos. 03-66; 03-67; 02-68; IB Docket No. 02-364; ET 
Docket No. 00-258; FCC 08-83.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Number of Respondents: 2,500 respondents; 12,726 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 3.334 hours (average burden per 
response) and adds .50 hours for the new requirement for wireless 
service providers (see paragraph one of the supporting statement that 
will be submitted to OMB after this 60-day comment period).
    Total Annual Burden: 8,457 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $266,666.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory; Section 27.1221(f).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The revised information 
collection requirements provide that information provided pursuant to 
the new requirement shall not be disclosed to additional parties except 
to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with FCC rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted a Fourth Memorandum Opinion 
and Order (4th MO&O), WT Docket Nos. 03-66; 03-67; 02-68; IB Docket No. 
02-364; ET Docket No. 00-258; FCC 08-83, on March 18, 2008, which 
modifies Wireless Communications Association International, Inc.'s 
(WCA) proposal regarding the formula used to calculate height 
benchmarking and clarifies how non-contiguous licensees calculate their 
height benchmark. Because licensees are now required under 47 CFR 
27.1221(f) to provide the geographic coordinates, the height above 
ground level of the center of radiation for each transmit and receive 
antenna, and the date transmissions commenced for each of the base 
stations in its geographic service area (GSA) within 30 days of receipt 
of a request from a co-channel, neighboring Broadband Radio Service/
Educational Broadband Service (BRS/EBS) licensee(s), the Commission is 
revising this information collection to add the requirement referenced 
above from the 4th MO&O and to eliminate the requirement for 
Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPD) Opt-Out (Waiver 
Requests) that sunset on April 30, 2007. That option is no longer 
available and is being removed from this information collection. The 
information will be used to notify third parties and to prevent harmful 
interference to licensees' BRS/EBS operations.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
