Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

[[Page 19506]]


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 (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 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 
Commission 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 June 3, 
2022.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to 
[email protected] and to [email protected]. Include in the comments the 
Title as shown in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies 
of the information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-
2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0221.
    Title: Section 90.155, Time in Which Station Must Be Placed in 
Operation.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, and State, Local or 
Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 45 respondents; 397 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 
154(i), 161, 303(r), 303(g), 332(c)(7), unless otherwise noted.
    Total Annual Burden: 397 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: No cost.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained 
in Section 90.155 provide that a period longer than 12 months may be 
granted to local government entities to place their stations in 
operation on a case-by-case basis upon a showing of need. This rule 
provides flexibility to state and local governments. An application for 
extension of time to commence service may be made on FCC Form 601. 
*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.
