    As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, as

3520), the FCC invited the general public and other Federal Agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. Comments are requested concerning: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information collected; and (d) 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. Pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 
2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks 
specific comment on how it might ``further reduce the information 
collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 
employees.''

facilities in the 4.9 GHz band cause no interference to incumbent 
licensees or previously filed applicants.

in 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 161, 303(g), 303(r), 332(c)(7), and 1401-1473 of 
the Communications Act of 1934.
    Total Annual Burden: 592,288 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $14,882,400.
    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as a new 
collection after this 60-day comment period to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full three-year clearance.
    Section 90.1207(e) adopted in the Commission's Report and Order FCC 
23-3 requires public safety applicants seeking to license new or modify 
existing facilities in the 4.9 GHz band to submit granular technical 
data on their proposed operations into ULS. Section 90.1207(f), also 
adopted in the Commission's Report and Order FCC 23-3, requires 
incumbent public safety licensees to perform a one-time submission into 
ULS of the granular data specified in paragraph (e) for their existing 
operations and gives incumbent licensees at least a one-year period to 
complete this one-time collection.
    The purpose of requiring incumbent public safety licensees and 
public safety applicants in the 4.9 GHz band to submit granular 
technical data into ULS is to enable the Band Manager at 4.9 GHz to use 
the granular technical data on public safety deployments to perform its 
frequency coordination duties and facilitate non-public safety access 
to the band.
