Title: Service Rules for Advanced 

Wireless Services (AWS) in the 1.7 GHz 

and 2.1 GHz Bands. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for– 

profit, not–for–profit institutions, and 

state, local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 979 

respondents; 1,630 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: .25 – 5 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: Semi–annual 

and on occasion reporting requirements,

party disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

sections 151, 154(i), 301, 302, 303(f), 

303(g), 303(r), 307, 308, 309, 310, 316

L. No. 108–494. 

Total Annual Burden: 33,480 hours. 

Total Annual Cost Burden: $581,800. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality 

except as follows: The clearinghouses 

have committed, pursuant to the FCC’s 

directive, to implement safeguards to 

maintain the confidentiality of 

information where necessary to protect 

respondents’ legitimate commercial 

interests. Additionally, the Ninth Report 

and Order, 71 FR 29818 (May 24, 2006) 

protects the specific location of the 

Broadband Radio Service (BRS) 

licensees’ end–user/subscriber 

equipment, customer names, addresses 

and contact for purpose of relocation, 

which could raise competitive concerns. 

The Commission’s rules permit filing 

information with the Commission to 

request confidential treatment of their 

information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

Need 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 has not changed the 

reporting, recordkeeping and/or third 

party disclosure requirements. The 

Commission is reporting a 4,333 hour 

increase in burden hours and a 

$2,139,400 decrease in annual costs. 

The change in burden hours and costs 

are due to a review of the Commission’s 

initial burden estimates. 

The public burden requirements will 

be used by incumbent licensees and 

new entrants to negotiate relocation 

agreements and to coordinate operations 

to avoid interference. The information 

will also be used by the clearinghouses 

to maintain a national database, 

determine reimbursement obligations of 

entrants pursuant to the Commission’s 

rules and notify such entrants of their 

reimbursement obligations. Also, the 

information will be used to facilitate 

dispute resolution and for FCC oversight 

of the clearinghouses and the cost– 

sharing plan. Additionally, the 

requirements regarding foreign 

ownership, substantial service 

compliance, and interference 

coordination has been used in the past 

and will continue to be used to 

minimize interference, verify that the 

applicants are legally and technically 

qualified to hold licenses, and to 

determine compliance with Commission 

rules.

FEDERAL HOUSING FINANCE 

AGENCY 

[No. 2010–N–01] 

Notice of Annual Adjustment of the 

Cap on Average Total Assets That 

Defines Community Financial 

Institutions 

AGENCY: Federal Housing Finance 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance 

Agency (FHFA) has adjusted the cap on 

average total assets that defines a 

‘‘Community Financial Institution’’ 

based on the annual percentage increase 

in the Consumer Price Index for all 

urban consumers (CPI–U) as published 

by the Department of Labor (DOL). 

These changes took effect on January 1, 

2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Patricia L. Sweeney, Division of Federal 

Home Loan Bank Regulation, 202–408– 

2872, Pat.Sweeney@fhfa.gov, Federal 

Housing Finance Agency, 1625 Eye 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20006– 

4001. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Statutory and Regulatory Background 

Section 2(10)(A) of the Federal Home 

Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) defines a 

‘‘Community Financial Institution’’ (CFI) 

as any Federal Home Loan Bank 

member the deposits of which are 

insured by the Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation and that has 

average total assets below a statutory 

cap. See 12 U.S.C. 1422(10)(A); 12 CFR 

1263.1 (defining the term Community 

financial institution or CFI). In 2008, 

section 1211(a) of the Housing and 

Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), 

Public Law 110–289, 122 Stat. 2654 

(2008), amended the definition of CFI to 

increase the average total assets cap for 

CFIs to $1 billion. Section 2(10)(B) 

requires the FHFA Director annually to 

adjust the statutory cap to reflect 

inflation over the prior year. See 12 

U.S.C. 1422(10)(B); 12 CFR 1263.1 

(definition the term CFI asset cap). In 

2009, FHFA adjusted the statutory cap 

for inflation by applying the CPI–U 

adjustment resulting in a 1.1 percent 

increase to the CFI asset cap. 

Accordingly, as of January 1, 2009, the 

adjusted CFI asset cap was 

$1,011,000,000. See 74 FR 7438 (Feb. 

17, 2009). This Notice announces the 

annual CPI–U adjustment for the CFI 

asset cap, effective January 1, 2010. 

II. Calculating the Annual Adjustment 

Consistent with the practice of other 

federal agencies and past agency 

practice, FHFA bases the annual 

adjustment to the CFI asset cap on the 

percentage increase in the CPI–U from 

November 2008 to November 2009. 

Specifically, the annual adjustment to 

the CFI asset cap reflects the percentage 

by which the CPI–U published for 

November of the preceding calendar 

year exceeds the CPI–U published for 

November of the year before the 

preceding calendar year. 

The DOL encourages use of CPI–U 

data that have not been seasonally 

adjusted in ‘‘escalation agreements’’ 

because seasonal factors are updated
