applicants engaging in communications 

prohibited by the rule. In some 

instances, there has been concern 

expressed about the obligation of a 

bidder to report information received 

from another bidder that potentially 

violates the rule, and the Commission 

has previously counseled applicants on 

the safest course of action for a recipient 

of a prohibited communication during 

the period in which Section 1.2105(c)(1) 

prohibitions are in effect would be to 

terminate the discussion and promptly 

report communication to the 

Commission. The Commission believes 

that the anti-collusion rule to include 

such a reporting requirement, as a 

deterrent to would-be disseminators of 

prohibited information regarding bids or 

bidding strategies, will make clear the 

responsibility to report such behavior 

and will thereby enhance the 

competitiveness and fairness of its 

spectrum auctions. Under the 

amendment the Commission adopted in 

the Seventh Report and Order, an 

applicant’s failure to report a prohibited 

communication pursuant to Section 

1.2105(c) may constitute a rule violation 

distinct from any act of collusion that 

violates Section 1.2105(c)(1). 

The information requirement will 

enable the Commission to ensure that 

no bidder gains an unfair advantage 

over other bidders in its spectrum 

auctions and thus enhance the 

competitiveness and fairness of its 

auctions. The information collected will 

be reviewed, and if warranted, referred 

to the Commission’s Enforcement 

Bureau for possible investigation and 

administrative action. The Commission 

may also refer allegations of 

anticompetitive auction conduct to the 

Department of Justice (DoJ) for 

investigation. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0221. 

Title: Section 90.155, Time in Which 

Station Must Be Placed in Operation. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit and State, local or Tribal 

government. 

Number of Respondents: 1,589 

respondents; 1,589 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 161, 

303(g), 303(r) and 332(c)(7). 

Total Annual Burden: 1,589 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. 

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) of this information 

collection. The Commission is reporting 

a 179 hour burden reduction adjustment 

in the Commission’s previous burden 

estimates. The reduction is due to fewer 

respondents and therefore the burden 

hours have been adjusted. 

Section 90.155(b) provides that a 

period longer than 12 months may be 

granted to local government entities to 

place their stations in operation on a 

case-by-case basis upon a showing of 

need. This rule provides flexibility to 

State and local governments. An 

application for extension of time to 

commence service may be made on FCC 

Form 601. Extensions of time must be 

filed prior to the expiration of the 

construction period. Extensions will be 

granted only if the licensee shows that 

the failure to commence service is due 

to causes beyond its control. 

Section 90.155(d) establishes 

construction deadlines for Location and 

Monitoring Service (LMS) licensees in 

the market-licensed multilateration LMS 

services. This subsection was amended 

in 2004 to provide holders of 

multilateration location service 

authorizations with five- and ten-year 

benchmarks to place in operation their 

base stations that utilize multilateration 

technology to provide multilateration 

location service to one-third of the 

Economic Areas (EAs) population 

within five years to initial license grant, 

and two-thirds of the population within 

ten years. At the five- and ten-year 

benchmarks, licensees are required to 

file a map and FCC Form 601 showing 

compliance with the coverage 

requirements pursuant to section 1.946 

of the Commission’s rules. 

In 2007 the Commission granted two 

to three additional years to meet the 

five-year construction requirement for 

certain multilateration Location and 

Monitoring Service Economic Area 

licensees, and extended the 10-year 

requirement for such licensees two 

years. 

These requirements will be used by 

Commission personnel to evaluate 

whether or not certain licensees are 

providing substantial service as a means 

of complying with their construction 

requirements, or have demonstrated that 

an extended period of time for 

construction is warranted.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Public Information 

Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 

Federal Communications Commission; 

Comments Requested 

November 4, 2010. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork burden 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s), as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520. 

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 estimate; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; (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, and (e) ways to 

further reduce the information 

collection burden on small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 employees. 

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid 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 January 11, 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0819. 

Title: Sections 54.400 through 54.417, 

Lifeline Assistance (Lifeline) 

Connection Assistance (Link-Up) 

Reporting Worksheet and Instructions. 

Form No.: FCC Form 497. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 251,400 respondents; 

251,400 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .08 

hours–1.5 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

annual, monthly, and one time reporting 

requirements, recordkeeping 

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. 1, 4(i), 201– 

205, 214, 254, and 403. 

Total Annual Burden: 49,386 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting the 

respondents submit confidential 

information to the Commission. If the 

Commission requests 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 revised collection to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) after this comment period to 

obtain the full three year approval from 

them. The Commission is revising this 

information collection to merge OMB 

Control Number 3060–1112 into this 

information collection (OMB Control 

Number 3060–0819). The low-income 

requirements are applicable to and 

consistent with this collection. After 

OMB approval, the Commission will 

discontinue OMB Control Number 

3060–1112 and retain OMB Control 

Number 3060–0819 as the active control 

number. 

Additionally, the Lifeline Order 

(2004) also requires Eligible 

Telecommunications Carriers (ETCs) to 

submit to the Universal Service 

Administrative Company (USAC or 

Administrator) proof that they certified 

that their Lifeline subscribers are 

eligible for Lifeline, and proof that they 

verified their subscribers’ continued 

eligibility for Lifeline. Prior to 2009, 

USAC provided sample certification and 

verification letters on its website to 

assist ETCs in complying with the 

certification and verification 

requirements. The Annual Lifeline 

Certification and Verification Letter has 

been standardized since 2009, and is 

being revised in this submission to the 

OMB. Specifically, the Certification and 

Verification Letter will be updated with 

an additional check box to 

accommodate wireless ETCs serving 

non-federal default states that do not 

assert jurisdiction over wireless ETCs. 

Additionally, a column will be added so 

that carriers may distinguish between 

‘‘Non-Responding Customers’’ and 

‘‘Customers Found to Be Ineligible’’ in 

their reports. 

Finally, the Lifeline Order requires 

certain ETCs to verify annually that a 

statistically valid sample of their 

Lifeline recipients receiving support 

continue to be eligible under the federal 

eligibility criteria. The Lifeline Order’s 

requirement applies only to those ETCs 

with Lifeline customers from federal 

default states. A federal default state is 

a state or territory that either (1) has 

adopted the federal eligibility criteria 

for Lifeline/Link Up, or (2) does not 

have its own state-based Lifeline/Link 

Up program. 

All the requirements contained in this 

submission to the OMB are necessary to 

implement the congressional mandate 

for universal service. These reporting, 

recordkeeping and/or third party 

disclosure requirements are necessary to 

verify that particular carriers and other 

respondents are eligible to receive 

universal service support.
