Information Collection Requirement 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, 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 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 August 12,
2019. 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]. Include in the comments the
Title as shown in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below.

provides flexibility to state and local governments. An application for
extension of time to commence service may be made on FCC Form 601.
[[Page 27114]]
Extensions of time must be filed prior to the expiration of the
construction period. Extensions will be granted only if the licensee
shows that the failure to commence service is due to causes beyond its
control.
In 1995, via a Report and Order in PR Docket No. 93-61; FCC 95-41,
published at 60 FR 15248, the Commission established construction
deadlines for Location and Monitoring Service (LMS) licensees in the
market-licensed multilateration LMS services. On July 8, 2004, the
Commission adopted a Report and Order under WT Docket Nos. 02-381, 01-
14, and 03-202; FCC 04-166, published at 69 FR 75144, that amended
Sec. 90.155 to provide holders of multilateration location service
authorizations with five- and ten-year benchmarks to place in operation
their base stations that utilize multilateration technology to provide
multilateration location service to one-third of the Economic Area's
(EA's) population within five years of initial license grant, and two-
thirds of the population within ten years. At the five- and ten-year
benchmarks, licensees are required to file a map and FCC Form 601
showing compliance with the coverage requirements pursuant to Sec.
1.946 of the Commission's rules.
On January 31, 2007, via an Order on Reconsideration, and
Memorandum Opinion and Order, under DA 07-479, the FCC granted two to
three additional years to meet the five-year construction requirement
for certain multilateration Location and Monitoring Service Economic
Area licenses, and extended the 10-year requirement for such licenses
two years.
These requirements will be used by Commission personnel to evaluate
whether or not certain licensees are providing substantial service as a
means of complying with their construction requirements, or have
demonstrated that an extended period of time for construction is
warranted.
