49458 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 163 / Thursday, August 21, 2008 / Notices 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and 

state, local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 4,500 

respondents; 4,500 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .50 

hours estimated burden per response. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirements and third party 

disclosure requirement (labeling/posting 

requirements). 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Total Annual Burden: 6,750 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $98,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Respondents may request materials 

submitted to the Commission be 

withheld from public inspection under 

47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

(IC) to the OMB as an extension (no 

change in reporting, recordkeeping and/ 

or third party disclosure requirements) 

during this comment period to obtain 

the full three-year clearance from them. 

The Commission is reporting a 

¥$85,000 annual cost adjustment. This 

adjustment is due to a decrease in the 

number of responses and therefore, 

annual costs, since the last submission 

to the OMB. FCC Form 854 is to be used 

to register structures used for wire or 

radio communication service in any 

area where radio services are regulated 

by the Commission; to make changes to 

existing registered structures or pending 

applications; or to notify the 

Commission of the completion of 

construction or dismantlement of 

structures, as required by Commission 

rules and regulations. 

Currently, each antenna structure 

owner proposing to construct or alter an 

antenna structure that is more than 

60.96 meters (200 feet) in height, or that 

may interfere with the approach or 

departure space of a nearby airport 

runway must notify the Federal 

Aviation Administration (FAA) of 

proposed construction. The FAA 

determines whether the antenna 

structure constitutes a potential hazard, 

and may recommend appropriate 

painting and lighting for the structure. 

The Commission then uses the FAA’s 

recommendation to impose specific 

painting and/or lighting requirements 

on subject licensees. 

The information will be used by the 

Commission to maintain a current 

registration database which increases air 

safety by allowing the FAA and the 

Commission to identify potential 

hazards. One of the Commission’s 

primary responsibilities is to ensure that 

antenna structures do not pose a threat 

to air safety.

The FCC adopted and released a 

Report and Order in FCC 07–72 in April 

2007 which contained modified 

information collection requirements. 

Additionally, the Commission is 

revising this information collection to 

consolidate two information collections 

(ICs) into one comprehensive (IC). After 

OMB approves 3060–1008, the 

Commission will discontinue 3060–

1027 and retain 3060–1008 as the active 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 163 / Thursday, August 21, 2008 / Notices 49459 

OMB Control Number in OMB’s 

inventory. 

The April 2007 Report and Order 

made two changes. First 47 CFR 

27.50(c)(5) now designated as 

27.50(c)(8) and its scope is changed 

slightly. The section previously covered 

stations operating ‘‘at a power level 

greater than 1 Kw ERP’’ and is now 

‘‘under the provisions of (c)(6),’’ which 

defines the group as ‘‘transmitting a 

signal at an ERP greater than 1000 watts 

and greater than 1000 watts/MHz’’ or in 

rural counties ‘‘if transmitting a signal 

with an ERP greater than 2000 watts and 

greater than 2000 watts/MHz.’’

Specifically, lower 700 MHz licensees 

intending to operate a base or fixed 

station at a power level permitted under 

the provisions of paragraph (c)(6) must 

provide advanced notice of such 

operation to the Commission and to 

licensees authorized in their area of 

operation. Licensees who must be 

notified are all licensees authorized 

under this part to operate on an adjacent 

spectrum block within 75 miles (120 

km) of the base or fixed station, 

including the station’s ERP, antenna 

coordinates, antenna height above 

ground, and vertical antenna pattern, 

and such notifications must be provided 

at least 90 days prior to the 

commencement of station operation. 

Second, in relation to lower 700 MHz 

service rules, in the April 2007 Report 

and Order, the Commission, in response 

to proposals by parties seeking greater 

power limits for rural area operations, 

permits power levels of up to 2 kw/MHz 

ERP in rural areas. In an effort to be 

consistent with its Part 27 rules with 

respect to the Advanced Wireless 

Service (AWS), the Commission allowed 

rural licensees operating with 

bandwidths less than one megahertz to 

operate at power levels up to 2 kW ERP 

over their bandwidth, but at the same 

time imposed on licensees operating at 

such increased power levels a 

requirement to coordinate with other 

licensees in nearby areas similar to that 

requirement applied to similarlysituated AWS licensees under 47 CFR 

27.50(d)(1). 

Specifically, section 27.50(c)(5)(i) and 

(ii) requires that lower 700 MHz 

licensees seeking to operate a fixed or 

base station located in a county with 

population density of 100 or fewer 

persons per square mile, based upon the 

most recently available population 

statistics from the Bureau of the Census, 

and transmitting a signal at an ERP 

greater than 1000 watts must: 

(i) Coordinate in advance with all 

licensees authorized to operate in the 

698–764 MHz and 776–794 MHz bands 

within 120 kilometers (75 miles) of the 

base or fixed station; 

(ii) Coordinate in advance with all 

regional planning committees, as 

identified in section 90.527 of FCC’s 

rules, with jurisdiction within 120 

kilometers (75 miles) of the base or fixed 

station. 

Note: The notification requirement in 

section 27.50(c)(5) includes a material change 

to the collection instrument in that more 

stations may be captured by the regulation if 

they take advantage of the new power limits. 

Finally, in relation to the Guard 

Bands service rules, the April 2007 

Report and Order replaced the ‘‘band 

manager’’ leasing regime which 

previously applied to Guard Bands 

licensees with spectrum leasing policies 

and rules adopted in the Secondary 

Markets proceeding in WT Docket 00–

230, to provide Guard Band licensees 

and spectrum users additional 

flexibility to enter into spectrum leasing 

agreements. Because the Commission 

will now apply the different spectrum 

leasing rules, the requirement 

previously found in OMB Control 

Number 3060–1027, pursuant to 47 CFR 

27.602, was revised to reflect the change 

in leasing policies. 

Pursuant to 47 CFR 27.602, Guard 

Band Managers are required to enter 

into written agreements regarding the 

use of their licensed spectrum by others, 

subject to certain conditions outlined in 

the rules. Section 27.602(h) requires 

Guard Band Managers to maintain their 

written agreements with spectrum users 

at their principal place of business, and 

retain such records for at least two years 

after the date such agreements expire. 

Such records shall be kept current and 

made available upon request for 

inspection by the Commission or its 

representatives. 

The service rules have been designed 

to promote the development and rapid 

deployment of new technologies, 

products and services for the benefit of 

the public; to promote economic 

opportunity and competition; and to 

create an efficient and intensive use of 

the spectrum by promoting the 

objectives identified in 47 U.S.C. 309(j), 

and to alleviate any problems associated 

with the increased power limits 

available to rural licensees.
