FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Public Information 

Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 

Federal Communications Commission 

for Extension Under Delegated 

Authority 

October 12, 2005. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork burden 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s), as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. An 

agency may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid control number. 

Comments are requested concerning (a) 

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; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) 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. 

DATES: Persons wishing to comment on 

this information collection should 

submit comments December 19, 2005. 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: You may submit your 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

comments by e-mail or U.S. postal mail. 

To submit you comments by e-mail send 

them to: PRA@fcc.gov. To submit your 

comments by U.S. mail, mark it to the 

attention of Judith B. Herman, Federal 

Communications Commission, 445 12th 

Street, SW., Room 1—C804, 

Washington, DC 20554. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection(s) send an e-mail 

to PRA@fcc.gov or contact Judith B. 

Herman at 202–418–0214. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0783. 

Title: Section 90.176, Coordination 

Notification Requirements on 

Frequencies Below 512 MHz. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit. 

Number of Respondents: 15 

respondents; 3,900 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: .50 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,950 hours. 

Annual Cost Burden: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Needs and Uses: Section 90.176 

requires each Private Land Mobile 

frequency coordinator to provide, 

within one business day, a listing of 

their frequency recommendations to all 

other frequency coordinators in their 

respective pool, and, if requested, an 

engineering analysis. Any method can 

be used to ensure this compliance with 

the ‘‘one business day requirement’’ and 

must provide, at a minimum, the name 

of the applicant; frequency or 

frequencies recommended; antenna 

locations and heights; the effective 

radiated power; the type(s) of emission; 

the description of the service area; and 

the date and time of the 

recommendation. If a conflict in 

recommendations arises, the affected 

coordinators are jointly responsible for 

taking action to resolve the conflict, up 

to and including notifying the 

Commission that an application may 

have to be returned. 

This requirement seeks to avoid 

situations where harmful interference is 

created because two or more 

coordinators recommend the same 

frequency in the same area at 

approximately the same time to 

different applicants. 

After the 60 day comment period 

ends, the Commission will submit this 

information to OMB as an extension (no 

change in requirements) in order to 

obtain the full three year clearance. 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0966. 

Title: Sections 80.385, 80.475, and 

90.303, Automated Marine 

Telecommunications Systems (AMTS). 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households; business or other for profit. 

Number of Respondents: 20. 

Estimated Time Per Response: .50 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement, third party 

disclosure requirement and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 10 hours. 

Annual Cost Burden: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. 

Needs and Uses: This collection will 

be submitted to OMB after the 60-day 

comment period as an extension (no 

change) to an existing collection. The 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements are for both Automated 

Marine Telecommunications Systems 

(AMTS) and amateur radio operators (or 

‘‘ham operators’’), who share AMTS 

spectrum. The AMTS is a specialized 

system of coast stations providing 

integrated and interconnected marine 

voice and data communications, 

somewhat like a cellular phone system 

for tugs, barges, and other vessels on 

these waterways. The amateur radio 

operators (‘‘ham operators’’) use some of 

the same frequencies (219–200 MHz) as 

AMTS stations on a secondary, noninterference basis for digital message 

forwarding systems. The reporting 

requirements, as established in 47 CFR 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 201 / Wednesday, October 19, 2005 / Notices 60839 

80.383 and 97.303 require amateur radio 

licensees (‘‘ham operators’’), who 

participate in point-to-point fixed 

digital message forwarding systems, 

such as intercity packet backbone 

networks, and who operate within 398 

miles (640 kms) of an AMTS coast 

station, to notify the AMTS station in 

writing. The amateur radio licenses 

must provide: (1) Their station’s specific 

geographic location for the 

transmission; and (2) their station’s 

technical characteristics, including 

transmitter type, operating frequencies, 

emissions, transmitter output power, 

and antenna arrangement. This 

notification must be submitted at least 

30 days prior to the initiation of the 

amateur radio licensee’s operations in 

the 219–220 MHz band. In addition, 

under 47 CFR 80.475, applicants and 

licensees of AMTS coast stations must 

notify two organizations—the American 

Radio Relay League (ARRL) and the 

Interactive Systems, Inc. (ISI), of the 

location of the AMTS fill-in stations. 

ARRL and ISI maintain databases of 

AMTS locations for the benefit of 

amateur radio operators. These 

notification requirements insure that 

any amateur radio operator seeking to 

commence operations within close 

proximity of an AMTS station will not 

cause any interference to an AMTS 

licensee. Amateur radio licensees also 

must give the ARRL written notification 

of the geographic location of a station at 

least 30 days prior to transmitting in the 

219–220 MHz band. As a ‘‘station in a 

secondary service’’, amateur stations 

must accept any harmful interference 

from AMTS operations. Furthermore, 

under 47 CFR 80.475, AMTS licensees 

are permitted to operate fill-in stations. 

While no prior FCC authorization is 

required to construct and operate an 

AMTS fill-in station, at the time the 

station is added, the AMTS licensee 

must make a record of the station’s 

technical and administrative 

information, and upon request, supply 

such information to the FCC. The 

station must also send notification of 

the station’s location to the ARRL and 

the ISI. In general, the notification 

process(es) functions without the FCC’s 

direct involvement, except as required 

by 47 CFR 80.475, the AMTS station 

licensee must maintain a record of the 

station’s technical and administrative 

functions and also provide a copy to the 

FCC upon request. The records of 

amateur radio operators include 

information about individuals or 

households, and the use(s) and 

disclosure of this information is 

governed by the requirements of a 

system of records, FCC/WTB–1, 

‘‘Wireless Services Licensing Records.’’

However, the FCC makes all information 

about amateur radio operators publicly 

available on its Universal Licensing 

System (ULS) Web page, except that the 

amateur operator’s telephone number(s) 

and his/her e-mail address(es) are 

redacted. The public is entitled to 

download this public information, 

although ULS does not contain the 

locations of the amateur radio 

transmitters and information which 

amateur radio operators (‘‘ham 

operators’’) have to provide to ARRL 

and to the AMTS licensees.

the sponsor of any matter transmitted 

for consideration. 47 CFR 76.1615 states 

that, when a cable operator engaged in 

origination cable casting presents any 

matter for which consideration is 

provided to such cable television system 

operator, the cable television system 

operator, at the time of the telecast, shall 

identify the sponsor. For both sections, 

for advertising commercial products or
