                    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 three year clearance                           ( print page 57794)                        from them.

This collection includes rules to govern the future operation and licensing of the 220-222 MHz band (220 MHz service). In establishing this licensing plan, FCC's goal is to establish a flexible regulatory framework that allows for efficient licensing of the 220 MHz service, eliminates unnecessary regulatory burdens, and enhances the competitive potential of the 220 MHz service in the mobile service marketplace. However, as with any licensing and operational plan for a radio service, a certain number of regulatory and information burdens are necessary to verify licensee compliance with FCC rules.

The information collection burdens under this OMB control number consists of documentation burden for two emergency medical use (EMRS) applicants; supporting documentation from governmental entities with EMRS jurisdiction; construction benchmark documentation for 2 nationwide, Phase II land mobile or paging system licensees (5 and 10 years after initial grant); construction benchmark documentation for EA and Regional Phase II land Mobile or paging system licensees (5 and 10 years after initial license grant); technical analysis burden on EA and Regional licensees; consent obtained by EA and Regional licensees to locate stations less than required distance from Phase I licensees' stations; coordination among EA and Regional licensees to exceed established field strength; and license renewal documentation.

The various reporting and verification requirements and the requirement that licensees coordinate and provide written consent, concurrence or agreement with other licensees, will be used by the Commission to verify licensee compliance with Commission rules and regulations and to ensure that licensees continue to fulfill their statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Such information has been used in the past and will continue to be used to minimize interference, verify that applicants are legally, technically, and financially qualified to hold licenses, and to determine compliance with Commission rules.

Federal Communications Commission.
