Review and Approval to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), 
Comments Requested

April 18, 2011.
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. 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 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 (PRA) that does 
not display a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before May 23, 2011. 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 the Internet at 
[email protected]; and to the Federal Communications 
Commission PRA mailbox (e-mail address: [email protected]). Include in the e-

    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting respondents to submit confidential information. However, 
petitioners may request confidential treatment of their information 
that they believe to be confidential pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of the 
Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection (IC) to the OMB during this comment period to 
obtain the three year clearance from them. The Commission is seeking 
OMB approval for a revision of this information collection.
    The Commission adopted an Order, DA 10-2342, which requires public 
safety broadband waiver recipients to certify, at various stages of 
deployment, their compliance with the technical requirements set forth 
in the Order, and to submit additional information regarding their 
early deployments. The Order provides that waiver recipients may 
include this information in their quarterly reports to the Commission's 
Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, which are required to be 
submitted under a previous order (FCC 10-79). The revised information 
collections required under this Order will enable the Commission and 
Bureau to monitor the progress of 700 MHz public safety broadband 
waiver recipients' network deployments and ensure that such deployments 
are consistent with the Commission's long-standing goal or ensuring 
nationwide interoperability among public safety broadband networks.

Federal Communications Commission.
