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 Commission) 
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this 
opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 
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

other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer

collection 3060-0779.
    The collection includes rules to govern the future operation and 
licensing of the 220-222 MHz and (220 MHz service). In establishing 
this licensing plan, FCC's goal is to establish a flexible regulatory 
framework that allows for efficient licensing of the 220 MHz service, 
eliminates unnecessary regulatory burdens, and enhances the competitive 
potential of the 220 MHz service in the mobile service marketplace. 
However, as with any licensing and operational plan for a radio 
service, a certain number of regulatory and information burdens are 
necessary to verify licensee compliance with FCC rules.
