Abstract
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.

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.

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.
