*Needs and Uses:*                     Section 74.992 requires that requests by ITFS entities for access to wireless cable facilities licensed on ITFS frequencies be made by filing FCC Form 330 (3060-0062), Sections I (Identity of applicant, requested facilities), II (legal qualifications of applicant), III (Financial qualifications of applicant)                           ( print page 67744)                        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.

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.
