Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 52 / Thursday, March 17, 2011 / Notices 14665 

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, 332 and 337. 

Total Annual Burden: 500 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

In general, there is no need for 

confidentiality. However, petitioners 

may request confidential treatment of 

their information pursuant to 47 CFR 

0.459 of the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

adopted a Third Report and Order, PS 

Docket No. 06–229, FCC 11–6 that 

requires OMB approval for a new 

information collection that requires 

public safety broadband networks to 

employ the Long Term Evolution (LTE) 

broadband standard, specifically at least 

3GPP Standard E–UTRA Release 8 and 

associated Evolved Packet Core (EPC). 

The Third Report and Order further 

requires that these networks support 

certain LTE interfaces. These 

requirements were designed to ensure 

that networks operated in this spectrum 

band are interoperable with one 

another. 

The Third Report and Order also 

requires each operator of a 700 MHz 

public safety broadband network to 

submit a certification to the 

Commission’s Public Safety and 

Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau), 

prior to network deployment, that its 

network will support the required LTE 

interfaces. This requirement will enable 

the Bureau to monitor network 

deployment and ensure that networks 

are supporting the interfaces necessary 

to achieve interoperability. 

The Commission is seeking OMB 

approval for this new information 

collection which requires operators of 

public safety broadband networks to 

submit a certification to the 

Commission. 

Accurate maintenance of this data is 

vital in developing a regulatory 

framework for this network. Since such 

a network is vital for public safety and 

homeland security, its proper operation 

must be assured. 

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of 

Managing Director.

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before May 16, 2011. If 

you anticipate that you will be 

submitting PRA comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the FCC contact listed below as 

soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

the Federal Communications 

Commission via e-mail to PRA@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Judith B. Herman, Office of Managing 

Director, (202) 418–0214. For additional

Use of Customer Proprietary Network 

Information (CPNI) and Other Customer 

Information, CC Docket No. 96–115. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 6,017 respondents; 

137,256,175 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .002 

hours–50 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

one time, annual and biennial reporting 

requirements, recordkeeping 

requirement, and third party disclosure 

requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 

154(j), 201–205, 208, 222, 303(r), and 

403.

submits information to the Commission, 

which the respondent believes is 

confidential, 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 after this comment period to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) to obtain the three year clearance 

from them. There is no change in the 

number of respondents, burden hours 

and annual costs. The number of 

responses increased by 50 due to 

recalculations of the various estimates 

in item 12 of the supporting statement. 

There is no change to the reporting, 

recordkeeping and/or third party 

disclosure requirements. 

This information collection 

implements the statutory obligations of 

section 222 of the Communications Act 

of 1934, as amended. These regulations 

impose safeguards to protect customers’ 

CPNI against unauthorized access and 

disclosure. In March 2007, the 

Commission adopted rules, which 

focused on the efforts of 

communications service providers to 

prevent pretexting. These rules require 

providers of communications services to 

adopt additional privacy safeguards 

that, the Commission believes, will 

sharply limit pretexters’ ability to obtain 

unauthorized access to the type of 

personal customer information from 

carriers that the Commission regulates. 

In addition, the Commission’s rules 

help ensure that law enforcement will

and enforce prohibitions on illegal 

access to customers records.

Notice of Public Information 

Collection(s) Being Submitted for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0004. 

Title: Sections 1.1307 and 1.1311, 

Guidelines for Evaluating the 

Environmental Effects of 

Radiofrequency, Second Memorandum 

Opinion and Order, ET Docket No. 93– 

62. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, business or other for-profit, 

not-for-profit institutions and state, 

local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 190,905 respondents; 

190,905 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .36 

hours (average). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement 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 154, 

302, 303, and 307. 

Total Annual Burden: 69,463 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $10,355,260. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. 

The Commission has a System of 

Records, FCC/WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless 

Services Licensing Records,’’ which 

covers the personally identifiable 

information (PII) that individual 

applicants may include in their 

submission for licenses or grants of 

equipment authorization. At such time 

as the Commission revises this System 

of Records Notice (SORN), the 

Commission will conduct a Privacy 

Impact Assessment (PIA) and publish 

the revised SORN in the Federal 

Register. In addition, the Commission 

will post a copy of both the PIA and the 

SORN on the FCC’s Privacy Web page. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is minimal exemption from the 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 

U.S.C. 552(b)(4), and 47 CFR 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules, that is granted 

for trade secrets, which may be 

submitted to the Commission as part of 

the documentation of test results. No 

other assurances of confidentiality are 

provided to respondents. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection during this comment period 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) to obtain the full, three year 

clearance from them. The Commission 

is requesting approval for an extension 

(no change in the reporting, 

recordkeeping and/or third party 

disclosure requirements). The 

Commission is reporting a 94,469 hour 

and a $18,336,443 reduction adjustment 

in burden. This reduction is due to 

fewer responses than the last time this 

collection was submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. 

This information collection is a result 

of responsibility placed on the FCC by 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969. NEPA requires that 

each federal agency evaluate the impact 

of ‘‘major actions significantly affecting 

the quality of the human environment.’’ 

It is the FCC’s opinion that this is the 

most efficient and reasonable method of 

complying with NEPA with regard to 

the environmental issue of 

radiofrequency radiation from FCCregulated transmitters. 

The Commission requires applicants 

to submit limited information during 

the licensing and authorization process. 

In many services, the Commission 

simply requires licensees to provide 

reliable service to specific geographic 

areas, but does not require licensees to 

file site-specific information. It does not 

appear that the FCC’s present licensing 

methods can provide public notification 

of site-specific information without 

imposing new and significant additional 

burden to the Commission’s applicants. 

However, we note that applicants with 

the greatest potential to exceed the 

Commission’s exposure limits are 

required to perform an environmental 

evaluation as part of the licensing and 

authorization process.
