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

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 August 19, 2014. 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: Submit your PRA comments to Benish Shah, Federal 
Communications Commission, via the Internet at [email protected]. To

    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

    Estimated Time per Response: 4.5 hours (range of 30 minutes to 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. 151, 154, 160, 251-254, 303, and 332.
    Total Annual Burden: 10,691 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $48,800.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission will work with 
respondents to ensure that their concerns regarding the confidentiality 
of any proprietary or public safety-sensitive information are resolved 
in a manner consistent with the Commission's rules. See 47 CFR 0.459.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management Budget (OMB) after 
this 60 day comment period in order to obtain the full three year 
clearance from them. The Commission is requesting OMB approval for an 
extension of this information collection. The information sought will 
assist 800 MHz licensees in preventing or resolving interference and 
enable the Commission to implement its rebanding program. Under that 
program, certain licensees are being relocated to new frequencies in 
the 800 MHz band, with all rebanding costs paid by Sprint Nextel 
Corporation (Sprint). The Commission's overarching objective in this 
proceeding is to eliminate interference to public safety 
communications. The Commission's orders provided for the 800 MHz 
licensees in non-border areas to complete rebanding by June 26, 2008. 
This completion date was not met and the Commission orders also provide 
for rebanding to be completed in the areas along the U.S. borders with 
Canada and Mexico.
