Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission 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 (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the 
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden 
estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information collected; 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 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden on 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

[[Page 78230]]

PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before February 
16, 2016. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but 
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this 
notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

    Needs and Uses: In a Report and Order (FCC 99-9, released February 
19, 1999) in WT Docket 97-153, the Commission, under section 90.651, 
adopted a revised time frame for reporting the number of mobile units 
placed in operation from eight months to 12 months of the grant date of 
their license. The radio facilities addressed in this subpart of the 
rules are allocated on and governed by regulations designed to award 
facilities on a need basis determined by the number of mobile units 
served by each base station. This is necessary to avoid frequency 
hoarding by applicants. This rule section requires licensees to report 
the number of mobile units served via FCC Form 601. The Commission is 
extending this reporting requirement for a period of three years in the 
Office of the Management and Budget's (OMB) inventory.
