2376 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 9 / Thursday, January 13, 2011 / Notices 

There is no change in the Commission’s 

burden estimates. 

The Commission was directed by the 

United States Congress, in the Balanced 

Budget act of 1997, to dedicate 2.4 MHz 

of electromagnetic spectrum in the 746– 

806 MHz band for public safety services. 

Section 90.179 requires that Part 90 

licensees that share use of their private 

land mobile radio facility on a nonprofit, cost-sharing basis keep a written 

agreement as part of the station records. 

Regardless of the method of sharing, an 

up-to-date list of persons who are 

sharing the station and the basis of their 

eligibility under Part 90 must be 

maintained. The requirement is 

necessary to identify users of the system 

should interference problems develop. 

This information is used by the 

Commission to investigate interference 

complaints and resolve interference and 

operational complaints that may arise 

among the users. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0774. 

Title: Parts 36, and 54, Universal 

Service Reporting, Disclosure and 

Records Retention Requirements. 

Form No.: N/A.

respondents; 7,631,034 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .084 

hours to 125 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

annual, quarterly and five year reporting 

requirements, recordkeeping

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151– 

154, 201–205, 214, 218–220, 254, 303(r), 

403, and 410. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,279,455 

hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting that

Commission requests applicants to 

submit information that the respondents 

believe is confidential, respondents may 

request confidential treatment of such 

information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) after this 60 day 

comment period in order to obtain the 

three year clearance from them. The 

Commission is requesting OMB 

approval for an extension (no change in 

the reporting, recordkeeping and/or 

third party disclosure requirements). 

There is no change in the Commission’s 

previous burden estimates. 

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 

(1996 Act) directed the Commission to 

initiate a rulemaking to reform the 

system of universal service so that 

universal service is preserved and 

advanced as markets move toward 

competition. To fulfill that mandate, on 

March 9, 1996, the Commission adopted 

a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) in CC Docket No. 96–45 to 

implement the congressional directives 

set out in section 254 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended by the 1996 Act. Pursuant to 

section 254(a)(1), the NPRM also 

referred numerous issues related to 

universal service to a Federal-State Joint 

Board for a recommended decision. 

On November 8, 1996, the Joint Board 

released a Recommended Decision in 

which it made recommendations to 

assist and counsel the Commission in 

the creation of an effective universal 

service support mechanism that would 

ensure that the goals of affordable, 

quality service and access to advanced 

services are met by means that enhance 

competition. 

On November 18, 1996, the 

Commission’s Common Carrier Bureau 

(now the Wireline Competition Bureau) 

released a Public Notice (DA 96–1891) 

seeking public comment on the issues 

addressed and recommendations made 

by the Joint Board in the Recommended 

Decision. In a Report and Order issued 

in CC Docket No. 96–45, released on 

May 8, 1997, and other proceedings, the 

Commission adopted rules that were 

designed to implement the universal 

service provisions of section 254. 

On August 29, 2007, the Commission 

released the Report and Order, 2007 

Comprehensive Review of the Universal 

Service Fund Management, 

Administration and Oversight, WC 

Docket Nos. 05–192, 02–60, 03–109, and 

CC Docket Nos. 96–45, 02–6, 97–21, 

FCC 07–150. In this Order, the 

Commission took several further steps 

to safeguard the universal service fund 

from waste, fraud and abuse, including 

imposing document retention rules on 

all universal service programs and 

program contributors.
