SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.''
OMB Control Number: 3060-1257.
Title: New Procedure for Non-Federal Public Safety Entities to
License Federal Government Interoperability Channels.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions and State, local, or
Tribal government.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 40,599 respondents; 40,599
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Section 90.25 adopted in Order DA 18-282,
requires any non-Federal public safety entity seeking to license mobile
and portable units on the Federal Interoperability Channels to obtain
written concurrence from its Statewide Interoperability Coordinator
(SWIC) or a State appointed official and include such written
concurrence with its application for license. A non-Federal public
safety entity may communicate on designated Federal Interoperability
Channels for joint Federal/non-Federal operations, provided it first
obtains a license from the Commission authorizing use of the channels.
Statutory authority for these collections are contained in 47 U.S.C.
151, 154, 301, 303, and 332 of the Communications Act of 1934.
Total Annual Burden: 10,150 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension
of a currently approved collection after this 60-day comment period to
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full
three-year clearance. The purpose of requiring a non-Federal public
safety entity to obtain written consent from its SWIC or State
appointed official before communicating with Federal Government
agencies on the Federal Interoperability Channels is to ensure that the
non-Federal public safety entity operates in accordance with the rules
and procedures governing use of the Federal interoperability channels
and does not cause inadvertent interference during emergencies.
Commission staff will use the written concurrence from the SWIC or
Ftate appointed official to determine if an applicant's proposed
operation on the Federal Interoperability Channels conforms to the
terms of an agreement signed by the SWIC or State appointed official
with a Federal user with a valid assignment from the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) which has
jurisdiction over the channels.
Federal Communications Commission.

Federal Register Liaison Officer, Office of the Secretary.
