and IV (ITFS service proposal). The

application must include a cover letter

clearly indicating that the application is

for ITFS access to a wireless cable

entity’s facilities on ITFS channels.

Section 74.992(d) requires an ITFS user

to provide a wireless cable licensee with

its planned schedule of use four months

in advance of accessing the channels.

This notice is completed before the

filing of the application and the burden

is included with the application. The

data is used by FCC staff to determine

eligibility of an educational institution

or entity demanding access for ITFS use

on a wireless cable facility. The four

month advance notice is used by the

wireless cable licensee to allow it to

move programming to other channels.

OMB Approval No.: 3060–0494.

Title: Section 74.990 Use of available

instructional television fixed service

frequencies by wireless cable entities.

confirmation is accomplished through

the filing of a letter with the

Commission. Section 74.990(d) requires

a wireless cable applicant to show that

there are no multipoint distribution

service or multichannel multipoint

distribution service channels available

for application, purchase or lease that

could be used in lieu of the

instructional television fixed service

frequencies applied for. The data

provided in the showing will be used by

FCC staff to insure that proposals to

operate a wireless cable system on ITFS

channels do not impair or restrict any

reasonably foreseeable ITFS use.

OMB Approval No.: 3060–0493.

0062) but need not fill out Section II

(legal qualifications). The application

must include a cover letter clearly

indicating that the modification is

involuntary and identifying the parties

involved. The data is used by FCC staff

to insure that proposals to modify

facilities of ITFS licensees/permittees

would provide comparable ITFS service

and would otherwise serve the public

interest in promoting the MMDS

service.
