SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1094. 

Title: Sections 27.14 and 27.1221, 

Licensing, Operation and Transition of 

the 2500–2690 MHz Band. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and 

state, local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 2,500 

respondents; 5,140 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .50 

hours–2.25 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and one time reporting requirements, 

third party disclosure requirement and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

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(i), 301, 303(f), 303(g), 303(r), 307, 

308 and 316. 

Total Annual Burden: 3,510 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $302,667. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. 

Respondents or applicants may request 

materials or information submitted to 

the Commission be withheld from 

public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

(IC) to the OMB during this comment 

period as a revision. The Commission is 

seeking OMB approval because the FCC 

adopted and released a Fourth 

Memorandum Opinion and Order, (2008 

Order), FCC 08–83, which adopted 

section 27.14(o) of the Commission’s 

rules. That rule requires all Broadband 

Radio Service (BRS) and Educational 

Broadband Service (EBS) licensees to 

make a showing of ‘‘substantial service’’ 

no later than May 1, 2011 on a licenseby-license basis. This requirement was 

modified by the Third Report and Order 

(2010 Order), FCC 10–107, to require 

that licensees issued a new BRS license 

on or After November 6, 2009, would 

have four years from the date of initial 

license grant to provide substantial 

service. A licensee must demonstrate 

that it provided service which is sound, 

favorable, and substantially above a 

level of mediocre service which might 

minimally warrant renewal. 

The Commission has changed it’s 

burden estimates for this information 

collection. The Commission has 

recalculated (adjusted) the burden hours 

because the number of respondents/ 

responses has been reduced by 4,947 

hours. This is due to fewer respondents 

since this was last submitted to OMB. 

The transition to the new band plan is 

largely complete and most of the 

transition-related requirements 

contained in this collection are no 

longer necessary. The program change 

increase in annual costs is due to 

approximately two-third of respondents 

will contract out to an outside source to 

prepare the ‘‘substantial showing’’ 

requirement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0391. 

Title: Program to Monitor the Impacts 

of the Universal Service Support 

Mechanism, CC Docket Nos. 98–202 and 

96–45. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 288 

respondents; 1,152 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 40 

minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Quarterly and 

annual reporting requirements 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. sections 151, 

152, 154, 201–205, 215, 218, 220, 229, 

254, and 410. 

Total Annual Burden: 770 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The respondents may request 

confidentiality protection for the special 

access performance information. The 

respondents are not required to file their 

customers’ monthly usage information 

with the Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC). 

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 

full three year clearance from them. The 

Commission is requesting an extension 

(no change in the reporting 

requirements and/or third party 

disclosure requirements) of this 

information collection. The Commission 

is reporting a 243 hour increase in the 

total annual burden. The increase is due 

to a re-calculation of the estimated 

number of respondents/responses. 

The monitoring program is necessary 

for the Commission, the Joint Board, 

Congress and the general public to 

assess the impact of the universal 

service support mechanisms. The 

program requires periodic reporting by 

telephone companies and the universal 

service administrator. Failure to 

implement the program would make it 

impossible to determine the impact of 

these mechanisms and to assure that the 

implementation of section 254 fulfills 

the intent of Congress and furthers the 

public interest. This information 

collection should be continued because 

the Commission had adopted new 

mechanisms to implement section 254 

of the Act and because the network 

usage and growth data have proven to 

be a valuable source of information 

about the advancement of universal 

service.
