*Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:*                     There is no need for confidentiality. This information collection does contain personally identifiable information (PII) on individuals. The FCC maintains a system of records notice (SORN), FCC/WTB-1, “Wireless Services Licensing Records,” that covers the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and disposal of the PII that individual private land mobile radio licensees maintain under 47 CFR 90.129.                 

*Needs and Uses:*                     This collection will be submitted as an extension (no change in reporting requirements) after this 60 day comment period to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full three year clearance.                 

Section 90.129 requires that applicants proposing to use transmitting equipment that is not type-certified by FCC laboratory personnel to provide a description of the proposed equipment. This assures that the equipment is capable of performing within certain tolerances that limit the interference potential of the device. 

Additionally, this rule section requires that each application under this part that is received by the Commission, through the application process outlined in 47 CFR part 1, subpart F, must be accompanied by the applicable supplementary information described in the paragraphs in 47 CFR 90.129. The information is used by FCC engineers to determine the interference potential of the proposed equipment.

*Annual Cost Burden:*                     $16,275.                 

*Privacy Act Impact Assessment:*                     N/A.                 

*Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:*                     There is no need for confidentiality. The Commission is not requesting that the respondents submit confidential information to the FCC. However, respondents who wish to request confidential treatment of the information they believe to be confidential, may do so under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.                 

*Needs and Uses:*                     This collection will be submitted as an extension (no change in reporting requirements) after this 60 day comment period to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full three year clearance.                 

In the Fifth Report and Order in FCC 99-206, the Commission permitted price cap local exchange carriers (LECs) to introduce new services on a streamlined basis, without prior approval. The Commission adopted rules to eliminate the public interest showing required by section 69.4(g) and eliminated the new services test (except in the case of loop-based new services) required under sections 69.49(f) and (g). These modifications eliminated delays that existed for the introduction of new services as well as encouraging efficient investment and innovation. 

The information is used by the Commission to determine whether this is in the public interest for the incumbent LEC to offer a proposed new switched access service. 

Federal Communications Commission.
