SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval Number: 3060–0072.

Title: Airborne Mobile

Radiotelephone License Application.

Form Number: FCC 409.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Business and other forprofit entities.

Number of Respondents: 3,000.

Estimated Time Per Response: 5

minutes.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirement.

Cost to Respondents: $135,000

($45.00 filing fee).

Total Annual Burden: 252 hours.

Needs and Uses: The FCC Form 409

is used in applying for authority to

operate an airborne mobile radio

telephone by individual users who

intend to become subscribers to a

common carrier service. The form is

subsequently used for modification and

renewal of such licenses.

Form 409 is required by 47 CFR Part

22. The applicant may be subject to

requirements in addition to those

specified on the form.

The form has been redesigned to

remove the fee filing data. FCC Form

159, Fee Remittance Advice, is required

to be submitted with any payment to the

FCC. Thus, we are removing the

duplicative data collection from the FCC

Form 409. This change will not affect

the average estimated completion time

of the form.

OMB Approval Number: 3060–0640.

Title: Construction of SMR Stations

Request for Additional Information.

Form Number: FCC 800–I.

Type of Review: Revision of a

30 minutes.

reporting requirement; Others as

requested.

Needs and Uses: This data collection

(letter format) is used as a method of

verifying if licensee has placed station

into operation and for notifying the

Commission of the actual number of

mobile units placed in operation after

license grant. When a licensee provides

conflicting information regarding the

construction or operational status of

radio facilities authorized to it, the

Commission requires clarification/

validation/explanation to substantiate

the facilities’ status so that it may

enforce its regulatory responsibilities.

Such responsibilities include the

allocation and assignment of radio

frequency spectrum and determining

the viability of the underlying radio

license authorizations which provide for

use of that spectrum.

The data requested in this collection

are being revised to include requesting

purchase order/invoices for the base

station, transmitter(s) and antenna;

Work order/invoices demonstrating

completion of station construction;

Name, address and phone number of

individual(s) performing the station

construction; model and serial numbers

of mobiles in operation; and a list of

users and phone numbers on this

system at the time of construction.

The Commission’s requirement that

systems be permanently constructed

and placed in operation is contained in

47 CFR, Rule Section 90.155, 90.313,

90.631, 90.633, 90.651, 90.725 and

90.737.

OMB Approval Number: 3060–XXXX.

permittees of DTV broadcast stations are

required to file FCC Form 302–DTV to

obtain a new or modified station

license, and/or to notify the

Commission of certain changes in the

licensed facilities of these stations.

The data are used by Commission

staff to confirm that the station has been

built to terms specified in the

outstanding construction permit, and to

update FCC station files. Data are then

extracted from FCC Form 302–DTV for

inclusion in the subsequent license to

operate the station.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

[DA 98–1194]

Notice of Telecommunication Relay

Services (TRS) Certification; CC

Docket No. 90–571

Released: June 19, 1998.

Notice is hereby given that the

applications for certification of state

Telecommunication Relay Services

(TRS) programs of the states listed

below have been granted, subject to the

condition described below, pursuant to

Title IV of the Americans with

Disabilities Act of 1990, 47 U.S.C.

225(f)(2), and section 64.605(b) of the

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 64.605(b).

The Commission will provide further

Public Notice of the certification of the

remaining applications for certification

once review of those states’ applications

has been completed. On the basis of the

states applications, the Commission has

determined that:

(1) The TRS program of the listed

states meet or exceed all operational,

technical, and functional minimum

standards contained in section 64.604 of

the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 64.604;

(2) The TRS programs of the listed

states make available adequate

procedures and remedies for enforcing

the requirements of the state program;

and,

(3) The TRS programs of the listed

states in no way conflict with federal

law.

The Commission also has determined

that, where applicable, the intrastate

funding mechanisms of the listed states

are labeled in a manner that promotes

national understanding of TRS and does

not offend the public, consistent with
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 123 / Friday, June 26, 1998 / Notices 34887

section 64.605(d) of the Commission’s

rules, 47 CFR 64.605(d).

On May 14, 1998, the Commission

adopted a Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking that proposes ways to

enhance the quality of existing

telecommunications relay services

(TRS) and expand those services for

better use by individuals with speech

disabilities. See Telecommunications

Relay Services and Speech-to-Speech

Services for Individuals with Hearing

and Speech Disabilities, CC Docket No.

98–67, FCC 98–90 (rel. May 20, 1998).

Because the Commission may adopt

changes to the rules governing relay

programs, including state relay

programs, the certification granted

herein is conditioned on a

demonstration of compliance with any

new rules ultimately adopted by the

Commission. The Commission will

provide guidance to the states on

demonstrating compliance with such

rule changes. This certification, as conditioned

herein, shall remain in effect for a five

year period, beginning July 26, 1998,

and ending July 25, 2003, pursuant to 47

CFR 64.605(c). One year prior to the

expiration of this certification, July 25,

2002, the states may apply for renewal

of their TRS program certifications by

filing documentation in accordance

with the Commission’s rules, pursuant

to 47 CFR 64.605(a) and (b).

Copies of certification letters are

available for public inspection at the

Commission’s Common Carrier Bureau,

Network Services Division, Room 235,

2000 M Street, NW, Washington, DC,

Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to

3:00 PM (closed 12:30 to 1:30 PM) and
