seek inclusion in the plan to obtain 

future licenses are considered third 

party respondents. Section 90.545 TV/ 

DTV interference protection criteria, 

provides that public safety base, control 

and mobile transmitters in the 763–775 

MHz and 793–805 MHz band applicants 

select one of three ways to meet the TV/ 

DTV interference protection 

requirements: (1) By utilizing 

geographic separation in the rule; (2) 

submitting an engineering study to 

justify other separations, or (3) obtain 

concurrence from applicable TV/DTV 

station(s). Section 90.1211 authorizes 

the fifty-five 700 MHz regional planning 

committees to develop and submit on a 

voluntary basis a plan on guidelines for 

coordination procedures to facilitate the 

shared use of 4940–4990 MHz (4.9 GHz) 

band. Applicants are granted a 

geographic area license for the entire 

fifty MHz of 4.9 GHz spectrum over a 

geographical area defined by the 

boundaries of their jurisdiction—city, 

county or state. Accordingly, licensees 

are required to coordinate their 

operations in the shared band to avoid 

interference, a common practice when 

joint operations are conducted. 

Commission staff will use the 

information to assign licenses, 

determine regional spectrum 

requirements and to develop technical 

standards. The information will also be 

used to determine whether prospective 

licensees operate in compliance with 

the Commission’s rules. Without such 

information, the Commission could not 

accommodate regional requirements or 

provide for the efficient use of the 

available frequencies. Information 

provided to, or exchanged among, third 

parties will be used to establish 

eligibility and to prevent harmful 

interference. This information collection 

request includes rules to govern the 

operation and licensing of the 700 MHz 

and 4.9 GHz bands to ensure that 

licensees continue to fulfill their 

statutory responsibilities in accordance 

with the Communications Act of 1934, 

as amended. Such information will 

continue to be used to minimize 

interference, verify that applicants are 

legally and technically qualified to hold 

licenses, and to determine compliance 

with Commission rules.

OMB Control Number: 3060–0742. 

Title: Sections 52.21 through 52.33, 

Telephone Number Portability (47 CFR 

Part 52, Subpart C), CC Docket No. 95–

116. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 1,990 

respondents; 1,990 responses.

hours–50 hours.

Total Annual Burden: 5,850 hours.

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. The 

Commission is not requesting 

respondents to submit confidential 

information to the Commission. If the 

Commission requests respondents to 

submit information which the 

respondent believes is confidential, they 

may request confidential treatment of 

such information pursuant to Section 

0.459 of the Commission’s rules (see 47

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection

comment period to obtain the full three 

year clearance from them. There is no 

change to the reporting, recordkeeping 

and/or third party disclosure 

requirements. However, the 

Commission is reporting an adjusted 

increase in the number of respondents 

filing information with the Commission, 

and the tariff and cost support estimate 

has been reduced from 149 hours per 

response to 50 hours per response. 

Thereby, reducing the total annual 

burden by 8,483 hours. There are four 

information collection requirements in 


ebenthall on PRODPC60 with NOTICES
50014 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 165 / Monday, August 25, 2008 / Notices 

this information collection subject to 

OMB review and approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. They are: (1) 

Requests for long-term number 

portability; (2) petitions to extend 

implementation deadlines; (3) tariffs 

and cost support; and (4) recordkeeping 

requirement. The reporting 

requirements and recordkeeping 

requirement are as follows: 

(a) Requests for long-term number 

portability—Long-term number 

portability (LNP) must be provide by 

Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) and 

Commercial Mobile Radio Service 

(CMRS) providers in switches for which 

another carrier has made a specific 

request for number portability, 

according to the Commission’s 

deployment schedule. Wireline carriers 

began providing LNP in 1998. CMRS 

providers began offering LNP in 2003. 

(b) Petitions to extend 

implementation deadline—Carriers that 

are unable to meet the deadlines for 

implementing a long-term number 

portability solution are required to file 

with the Commission at least 60 days in 

advance of the deadline a petition to 

extend the time by which 

implementation in its network will be 

completed. 

(c) Tariffs and cost support—

Incumbent LECs may recover their 

carrier-specific costs directly related to 

providing long-term number portability 

by establishing in tariffs filed with the 

Commission certain number portability 

charges. Incumbent LECs are required to 

include many details in their cost 

support that are unique to the number 

portability proceeding pursuant to the 

Cost Classification Order. For instance, 

incumbent LECs must demonstrate that 

any incremental overhead costs claimed 

in their cost support are actually new 

costs incremental to and resulting from 

the provision of long-term number 

portability. 

(d) Recordkeeping requirement—

Incumbent LECs are required to 

maintain records that detail both the 

nature and specific amount of these 

carrier-specific costs that are directly 

related to number portability, and those 

carrier-specific costs that are not 

directly related to number portability. 

The information collected and used 

by the Commission to determine 

compliance with Section 251 of the 

Communications Act, as amended, and 

the Commission’s LNP orders and rules.
