Communications Commission, Comments Requested

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection(s). 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 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 valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before January 27, 2012. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within

is contained in 47 U.S.C. Sections 303 and 308 of the Communications

    Total Annual Cost: $156,750.

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission seeks Office of Management and 
Budget approval for this new information collection for a full three-
year clearance.
    Section 74.605 requires that licensees of TV pickup stations in the 
6875-7125 MHz and 12700-13200 MHz bands shall register their stationary 
receive sites using the Commission's Universal Licensing System. TV 
Pickup licensees record their receive-only sites in the Universal 
Licensing System (ULS) database, including all fixed service locations. 
The TV Pickup stations, licensed under Part 74 of the Commission's 
rules, make it possible for television and radio stations and networks 
to transmit program material from the sites of breaking news stories or 
other live events to television studios for inclusion in broadcast 
programs, to transmit programming material from studios to broadcasting 
transmitters for delivery to consumers' televisions and radios, and to 
transmit programs between broadcast stations. Registering the receive 
sites will allow analysis to determine whether Fixed Service links will 
cause interference to TV Pickup stations.
