SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1140. 

Title: Requests for Waiver of Various 

Petitioners to Allow the Establishment 

of 700 MHz Interoperable Public Safety 

Wireless Broadband Networks. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: State, local or tribal 

government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 50 respondents; 50 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour 

to 200 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and one–time reporting requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 

154(i), 301 303, 332 and 337. 

Total Annual Burden: 18,250 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) during this comment 

period to obtain the full three year 

clearance from them. There is no change 

in the Commission’s reporting 

requirements. There is no change in the 

Commission’s burden estimates. 

The Commission sought emergency 

clearance for this information collection 

on June 1, 2010. Emergency OMB 

approvals are only granted for six 

months. The Commission received OMB 

approval for the emergency request on 

June 17, 2010. The Commission is now 

renewing the OMB approval for this 

information collection. 

FCC 10–79, PS Docket No. 06–229, 

the Commission grants, with conditions, 

21 waiver petitions filed by public 

safety entities (Petitioners) seeking early 

deployment of statewide or local public 

safety broadband networks in the 700 

MHz spectrum. This waiver serves the 

public interest by allowing state and 

local jurisdictions to begin broadband 

deployment and speed services to the 

public safety community. This will also 

allow the Petitioners to take advantage 

of available or potential funding, either 

through grants or planned budgetary 

expenditures, as well as to take 

advantage of economies of scale and 

other cost saving measures for 

deployments that are already planned. 

In addition, Petitioners could benefit 

from the announced plans of some 

commercial carriers to begin 

construction of LTE–based networks 

this year and early next year, which 

would result in significant cost–savings. 

One of the conditions for such waiver 

is submission of interoperability plans 

to the Commission’s Emergency 

Response Interoperability Center (ERIC). 

The Commission recently decided to 

establish ERIC to promote appropriate 

technical requirements that will ensure 

interoperability for these early 

deployments from their inception, as 

well as for any future deployed 

networks. Given the rapidly evolving 

nature of 3GPP deployments and 

standards, submission of the Petitioners’ 

interoperability plans will help ensure 

interoperability and roaming among 

these early deployments. See the June 

30, 2010 notice that was published at 75 

FR 37800 for more details on the various 

requirements for state, local or tribal 

government. 

This information will be used by FCC 

staff to facilitate deployment of state 

and local public safety broadband 

networks as an initial step towards 

development of a nationwide, 

interoperable public safety broadband 

network. Accurate recordkeeping of this 

data is vital in developing the regulatory 

framework for this network. Since such 

a network is vital for public safety and 

homeland security, its proper operation 

must be assured.

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

In general, there is no need for

basis, the Commission may be required 

to withhold from disclosure certain 

information about the location, 

character, or ownership of a historic 

property, including traditional religious 

sites. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this revised information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) after this comment 

period to obtain OMB’s approval. There 

is no change in the Commission’s 

burden estimates. 

The Commission is revising this 

collection to request OMB approval of a 

certification and/or showing of 

compliance of narrowband equivalency 

as an attachment and correcting chief 

financial officers in Schedule B of the 

FCC Form 601. 

FCC Form 601 is a consolidated, 

multi–part application form, or ‘‘long 

form’’, that is used for general market– 

based licensing and site–by–site 

licensing for wireless 

telecommunications and public safety 

services filed through the Commission’s 

Universal Licensing System (ULS). FCC 

Form 601 is composed of a main form 

that contains the administrative 

information and a series of schedules 

used for filing technical and other 

information. Respondents are 

encouraged to submit the FCC Form 601 

electronically and are required to do so 

when submitting FCC Form 601 to 

apply for an authorization for which the 

applicant is the winning bidder in a 

spectrum auction. 

The data collected on FCC Form 601 

include the FCC Registration Number 

(FRN), which serves as a ‘‘common link’’ 

for all filings an entity has with the FCC. 

The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 

1996 requires that those entities filing 

with the Commission use a FRN. 

FCC Form 601 is being used for 

auctionable services as they are 

implemented. FCC Form 601 is used to 

apply for a new authorization, or to 

amend a pending application for an 

authorization to operate a license 

wireless radio service. This include 

Public Mobile Services, Personal 

Communications Services, General 

Wireless Communications Services, 

Private Land Mobile Radio Services, 

Broadcast Auxiliary Services, Fixed 

Microwave Services, Instructional 

Television Fixed Service (ITFS), and the 

Multipoint Distribution Service (MDS), 

Maritime Services (excluding ships), 

and Aviation Services (excluding 

aircraft). It may also be used to modify 

or renew an existing license, cancel a 

license, withdraw a pending 

application, obtain a duplicate license, 

submit required notifications, request an 

extension of time to satisfy construction 

requirements, or request an 

administrative update to an existing 

license (such as mailing address 

change), request a Special Temporary 

Authority (STA) or a Developmental 

License.
