SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval Number: 3060–0625.

Title: Section 24.237, Amendment of

the Commission’s Rules to Establish

New Personal Communications Services

(Interference Protection).

Type of Review: Revision 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: 100.

Estimated Time Per Response: 2

hours.

Cost to Respondents: N/A.

Total Annual Burden: 200 hours.

Needs and Uses: Section 24.237

requires that the results of the

coordination process between

incumbent microwave users and PCS

licensees be reported to the Commission

only if the parties fail to agree.

Additionally, the Commission requires

that each broadband PCS licensee

perform an engineering analysis to

assure that the proposed facilities will

not cause interference to existing OFS

stations within the specified

coordination distance of a magnitude

greater than a specified criteria, unless

there is prior agreement with the

affected OFS licensee. This collection is

being revised because the requirement

in Section 24.204 was eliminated and

removed from the Commission’s rules.

OMB Approval Number: 3060–0727.

Title: Section 73.213, Grandfathered

Short-Spaced FM Stations.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 15.

Estimated Time Per Response: 5 hours

per showing (0.5 hours consultation

time/4.5 hours contracting time).

Cost to Respondents: $8,493. We

assume that the applicant would use a

consulting engineer ($125/hour) to

complete the interference showing. We

estimate that copying of the application

would be approximately $0.10/page and

that each application would have an

average of 25 pages. We also estimate

that the postage for the mailing of an

application would be $1.24/application.

Total Annual Burden: 200 hours.

Needs and Uses: On 8/4/97, the

Commission adopted a Report and

Order in MM Docket No. 96–120. The

Commission adopted two of the

proposals as set forth in the NPRM. The

third proposal was adopted as proposed

but a disclosure requirement was added

that requires that a copy of any

application for co-channel or firstadjacent channel stations proposing

predicted interference caused in any

area where interference is not currently

predicted to be caused must be served

upon the licensee(s) of the affected

short-spaced station(s). These modified

procedures will allow grandfathered

stations greater flexibility in making

transmitter site changes and other

facility modifications. The data are used

by Commission staff to determine if the

public interest will be served and that

existing levels of interference will not

be increased to other licensed stations.

Providing copies of application(s) to

affected licensee(s) will enable

potentially affected parties to examine

the proposals and provide them an

opportunity to file informal objections

against such applications.

Comment Request

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System

ACTION: Notice

Background:

On June 15, 1984, the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB)

requests and requirements conducted or

sponsored by the Board under

conditions set forth in 5 CFR 1320

Appendix A.1. The Federal Reserve may

not conduct or sponsor, and the

respondent is not required to respond

to, an information collection that has

been extended, revised, or implemented

on or after October 1, 1995, unless it

displays a currently valid OMB control

number. Board-approved collections of

information will be incorporated into

the official OMB inventory of currently

approved collections of information. A

copy of the OMB 83-I and supporting

statement and the approved collection

of information instrument will be

placed into OMB’s public docket files.

The following information collection,

which is being handled under this

delegated authority, has received initial

Board approval and is hereby published

for comment. At the end of the comment

period, the proposed information

collection, along with an analysis of

comments and recommendations

received, will be submitted to the Board

for final approval under OMB delegated

authority. Comments are invited on the

following:

a. Whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the Federal Reserve’s

functions; including whether the

information has practical utility;

b. The accuracy of the Federal

Reserve’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed information collection,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

c. Ways to enhance the quality,

utility, and clarity of the information to

be collected; and

d. Ways to minimize the burden of

information collection on respondents,

including through the use of automated

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before November 24, 1997.
