SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required b y the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3502 -3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to

    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

not display a valid OMB control number.

    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 (ULS). TV Pickup licensees record their receive-only sites in 
the 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.
