*Needs and Uses:*                     The Commission is seeking Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a revision to this information collection (IC). The Commission is reporting a 1,200 hour program change reduction. This reduction is due to elimination of the burden associated with Section 90.545(c)(1), TV/DTV Interference Protection Criteria, which was part of this collection. The requirements in this section became moot when the TV/DTV transition ended on June 12, 2009.                

The requirements that the Commission wants continued OMB approval is for the following:

Section 90.523 which requires that nongovernmental organizations, which provide services to protect the safety of life, or property, to obtain a written statement from an authorizing state or local government entity to support the nongovernmental organization's application for the assignment of 700 MHz frequencies.

Section 90.527 states that to prepare the regional plans for the 700 MHz band, the regional planning committees will require input from those entities within the regions that will be eligible to receive licenses under the plans. Entities that seek inclusion in the plan in order to obtain licenses will be third party respondents.

Section 90.1211 the Commission suggested that each 700 MHz region submit a plan on guidelines to be used for sharing the spectrum within the region.

The information will be submitted to the Commission and they will use the information obtained to assign licenses, and also use the information to determine regional spectrum requirements and to develop technical standards. The information will also be used to determine whether prospective licensees will operate in compliance with the Commission's rules. Without such information, the Commission could not accommodate regional requirements or provide for the optimal use of the available frequencies. For information provide to, or exchanged among third parties, the data will be used to establish eligibility.

Federal Communications Commission.
