[OMB 3060-1048]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collections. Comments are 
requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
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 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 Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA 
that does not display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before September 
10, 2018. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but 
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this 
notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to

and Budget (OMB) for approval of an extension request.
    Under 47 CFR 1.929(c)(1) of the Commission's rules, any increase in 
the composite interference contour (CIC) of a site-based licensee in 
the Paging and Radiotelephone Service, Rural Radiotelephone Service, or 
800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio Service is a major modification of a 
license that requires prior Commission approval.
    However, in February 2005, the Commission adopted and released 
final rules which amended section 1.929(c)(1) to specify that expansion 
of a composite interference contour (CIC) of a site-based licensee in 
the Paging and Radiotelephone Service--as well as the Rural 
Radiotelephone Service and 800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio Service--
over water on a secondary, non-interference basis should be classified 
as a minor (rather than major) modification of a license. Such 
reclassification has eliminated the filing requirements associated with 
these license modifications, but requires site-based licensees to 
provide the geographic area licensee (on the same frequency) with the 
technical and engineering information necessary to evaluate the site-
based licensee's operations over water.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
