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.

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 June 7,
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

any radio facilities they hold within 40 miles of the base station
transmitter site being applied for.

system is necessary in light of communications facilities it already
owns. Such a determination helps the Commission to equitably distribute
limited spectrum and prevents spectrum warehousing.
OMB Control Number: 3060-0281.
Title: Section 90.651, Supplemental Reports Required of Licensees
Authorized Under this Subpart.
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: 122 respondents; 203
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .166 hours (10 minutes).

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
U.S.C. 154(i), 161, 303(g), 303(r), 332(c)(7).
Total Annual Burden: 34 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: In a Report and Order (FCC 99-9, released February
19, 1999) in WT Docket 97-153, the Commission, under section 90.651,
adopted a revised time frame for reporting the number of mobile units
placed in operation from eight months to 12 months of the grant date of
their license. The radio facilities addressed in this subpart of the
rules are allocated on and governed by regulations designed to award
facilities on a need basis determined by the number of mobile units
served by each base station. This is necessary to avoid frequency
hoarding by applicants. This rule section requires licensees to report
the number of mobile units served via FCC Form 601. The Commission is
extending this reporting requirement for a period of three years in the
Office of the Management and Budget's (OMB) inventory.
