FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

July 8, 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 (PRA) 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 on 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 currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before September 13, 2010. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within 
the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget, via fax at 202-395-5167 or via the Internet at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0975.
    Title: Sections 68.3 and 1.4000, Promotion of Competitive Networks 
in Local Telecommunications Markets Multiple Tenant Environments 
(MTEs).
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, federal government, state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 5,874 respondents, 5,874 
responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .5 - 10 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. section 151.
    Total Annual Burden: 194,284 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
after this comment period to obtain the full three year clearance from 
them. There is no change to the reporting and/or third party disclosure 
requirements. There is a 21,598 hour reduction. The Commission 
anticipated that this burden would decrease over time because the 
request for location information would have already been made at most 
buildings. Therefore, the number of respondents is decreasing as well 
as the total annual burden hours.
    In a October 2001 Order, FCC 00-366, the Commission did the 
following: 1) prohibited carriers from entering into contracts that 
restrict or effectively restrict a property owner's ability to permit 
entry by competing carriers; 3) established procedures to facilitate 
moving the demarcation point to the minimum point of entry (``MPOE'') 
at the building owner's request, and requires incumbent local exchange 
carriers (LECs) to timely disclose the location of existing demarcation 
points where they are not located at the MPOE; 3) determined that, 
under Section 224 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 
utilities, including LECs, must afford telecommunications carriers and 
cable service providers reasonable and non-discriminatory access to 
conduits and rights-of-way located in customer buildings and campuses, 
to the extent such conduits and rights-of-way are owned or controlled 
by the utility; and 4) extended to antennas that receive and transmit 
telecommunications and other fixed wireless signals the existing 
prohibition of restrictions that impair the installation, maintenance 
or use of certain video antennas on property within the exclusive use 
or control of the antenna user, where the user has a direct or indirect 
ownership or leasehold interest in the property.
    a. The demarcation point burden consists of two components: 1) the 
LEC shall make available information on the location of the demarcation 
point within ten business days of a request from the premises owner 
(location information); and 2) at the time of installation, the LEC 
shall fully inform the premises owner of its options and rights 
regarding the placement of the demarcation point or points (options 
information).
    b. The Over-the-Air Reception Devices (OTARD) portion of this 
information collection relates to the revision of the Commissions rules 
under 1.4000. Under those revisions, as a condition of invoking 
protection under 47 CFR 1.400 from government, landlord, and 
association restrictions, a licensee must ensure that subscriber 
antennas are labeled to give notice of potential radio frequency safety 
hazards of these antennas. Labeling information (third party disclosure 
requirement) should include minimum separation distances required 
between users and radiating antennas to meet the Commission's radio 
frequency exposure guidelines. Labels should also include reference to 
the Commission's applicable radio frequency exposure guidelines and 
should use the ANSI-specified warning symbol for radio frequency 
exposure. In addition, the instruction manuals and other information 
accompanying subscriber transceivers should include a full explanation 
of the labels, as well as a reference to the applicable Commission 
radio frequency exposure guidelines.
