Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-
13, the Federal Communications Commission invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s). Comments are requested concerning:

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 
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.

[[Page 68186]]

    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 collection of information is contained in 
47 U.S.C. sections 154(i), 161, 303(g), 303(r) and 332(c)(7).
    Total Annual Burden: 1,950 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) approval for an extension of this information collection 
(no change in the reporting requirements and/or third party disclosure 
requirements). The Commission will submit this information collection 
after this 60 day comment period. There is no change in the 
Commission's previous burden estimates.
    Section 90.176 requires each Private Land Mobile frequency 
coordinator to provide, within one business day, a listing of their 
frequency recommendations to all other frequency coordinators in their 
respective pool, and if requested, an engineering analysis. Any method 
can be used to ensure this compliance with the ``one business day 
requirement'' and must provide, at a minimum, the name of the 
applicant; frequency or frequencies recommended; antenna locations and 
heights; the effective radiated power; the type(s) of emissions; the 
description of the service area; and the date and time of the 
recommendation. If a conflict in recommendations arises, the affected 
coordinators are jointly responsible for taking action to resolve the 
conflict, up to and including notifying the Commission that an 
application may have to be returned.
    This requirement seeks to avoid situations where harmful 
interference is created because two or more coordinators recommend the 
same frequency in the same area at approximately the same time to 
different applicants.

Federal Communications Commission.

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