FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

January 21, 2010.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. 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; (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, and (e) 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden for small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC 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.

DATES: Persons wishing to comments on this information collection 
should submit comments on or before March 29, 2010. 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.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), via fax at (202) 395-5167, or via the 
Internet at [email protected] and to Judith B. Herman,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No: 3060-0295.
     Title: Section 90.607(a)(1) and (b)(1), Supplemental Information 
To Be Furnished By Applicants For Facilities Under Subpart S.
     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: 3,788 respondents; 3,788 responses.
     Estimated Time Per Response: .25 hours.
     Frequency of Response: One time reporting requirement.
     Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
     Total Annual Burden: 947 hours.
     Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
     Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No questions of a 
confidential nature are asked.
     Need and Uses: The Commission is submitting this information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 
comment period in order to obtain the full three year clearance. There 
is a reduction in the number of respondents/responses and therefore, 
the total annual burden hours have been reduced.
     This rule section requires the affected applicants to submit a 
list of any radio facilities they hold within 40 miles of the base 
station transmitter site being applied for. This information is used to 
determine if an applicant's proposed system is necessary in light of 
communications facilities it already owns. Such a determination helps 
the Commission to equitably distribute limited spectrum and prevents 
spectrum warehousing. The information is collected only once - upon 
initial license application.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.
