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;

information technology; and ways to further reduce the information
collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25

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
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d484869594b2b7b7fab3bba2"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="11414350517772723f767e67">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#1a597b6e7263344d737676737b77695a7c7979347d756c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="4e0d2f3a26376019272222272f233d0e282d2d60292138">[email protected]</span></a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
OMB Control Number: 3060-1070.
Title: Allocation and Service Rules for the 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz,
and 92-95 GHz Bands.
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: 317 respondents; 8,205 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 to 5.35 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement,
recordkeeping requirement, and third-party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 303(f) and (r), 309, 316, and 332 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
Total Annual Burden: 5,677 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $200,000.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking an extension of this
information collection in order to obtain the full three-year approval
from OMB. There are no program changes to the reporting, recordkeeping
and/or third-party disclosure requirements, but we are revising
estimates based on the reduction of database managers, and the increase
of renewals of the nationwide licensees. The recordkeeping, reporting,
and third-party disclosure requirements will be used by the Commission
to verify licensee compliance with the Commission rules and
regulations, and to ensure that licensees continue to fulfill their
statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of
1934. The Commission's rules promote the private sector development and
use of 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, and 92-95 GHz bands (70/80/90 GHz bands).
Such information has been used in the past and will continue to be used
to minimize interference, verify that applicants are legally and
technically qualified to hold license, and to determine compliance with
Commission rules.
Federal Communications Commission.

Federal Register Liaison Officer.
