SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No: 3060-1048.
     Title: Section 1.929(c)(1), Composite Interference Contour (CIC).
     Form No.: N/A.
     Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
     Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
     Number of Respondents: 50 respondents; 50 responses.
     Estimated Time Per Response: 2 hours.
     Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
     Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. Section 309(j) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
     Total Annual Burden: 100 hours.
     Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
     Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
     Need and Uses: Under section 1.929(c)(1) of the Commission's 
rules, any increase in the composite interference contour (CIC) of a 
site-based licensee in the Paging and Radiotelephone Service, Rural 
Radiotelephone Service, or 800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio Service 
(SMRS) is a major modification of a license that requires prior 
Commission approval.
    However, on February 22, 2005, the Commission released a Report and 
Order in WT Docket No. 03-103 (70 FR 19293), in which it amended 
section 1.929(c)(1) to specify that expansion of a composite 
interference contour (CIC) of a site-based licensee in the Paging and 
Radiotelephone Service - as well as the Rural Radiotelephone Service 
and 800 Specialized Mobile Radio Service - over water on a secondary, 
non-interference basis should be classified as a minor (rather than a 
major) modification of a license. Such reclassification has eliminated 
the filing

requirements associated with these license modifications, but requires 
site-based licensees to provide the geographic area licensee (on the 
same frequency) with the technical and engineering information 
necessary to evaluate the site-based licensee's operations over water.
    The purpose of this collection is to guard against unacceptable 
interference to its own operation(s).

Federal Communications Commission.
