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 of 1995 (PRA), 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 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
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 OMB control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before April 8, 
2024. 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 to 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1048.
    Title: Section 1.929(c)(1), Composite Interference Contour (CIC).
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, not-for-profit 
institutions and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 50 respondents; 50 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 309(j).
    Total Annual Burden: 100 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
approval of an extension request.
    Under 47 CFR 1.929(c)(1) of the Commission's rules, any increase in 
the composite interference contour (CIC) of a site-based licensee in 
the Paging and Radiotelephone Service, Rural Radiotelephone Service, or 
800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio Service is a major modification of a 
license that requires prior Commission approval.
    However, in February 2005, the Commission adopted and released 
final rules which amended section 1.929(c)(1) to specify that expansion 
of a composite interference contour (CIC) of a site-based licensee in 
the Paging and Radiotelephone Service--as well as the Rural 
Radiotelephone Service and 800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio Service--
over water on a secondary, non-interference basis should be classified 
as a minor (rather than major) modification of a license. Such 
reclassification has eliminated the filing requirements associated with 
these license modifications, but requires site-based licensees to 
provide the geographic area licensee (on the same frequency) with the 
technical and engineering information necessary to evaluate the site-
based licensee's operations over water.
