control number.
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
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.''

Section 90.175(g)(2) 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 obtain a frequency
recommendation from the nationwide Band Manager before the application
is filed with the Commission.
The purpose of requiring each public safety applicant to obtain a
frequency recommendation from the nationwide Band Manager is to ensure
that public safety entities seeking to license new or modify existing
facilities in the 4.9 GHz band cause no interference to incumbent
licensees or previously filed applicants.
OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.

Commission's Rules.

[[Page 45211]]
in 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 161, 303(g), 303(r), 332(c)(7), and 1401-1473 of
the Communications Act of 1934.

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.
