 Total Annual Burden: 102 hours.

 Total Cost Burden: $41,000.

 Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Information on the private land mobile radio licensees is maintained in the Commission's system of records, FCC/WTB-1, “Wireless Services Licensing Records.” The licensee records will be publicly available and routinely used in accordance with subsection b. or the Privacy Act. Any personally identifiable information (PII) that individual applicants provide is covered by a system of records, FCC/WTB-1, “Wireless Services Licensing Records,” and these and all other records may be disclosed pursuant to the Routine Uses as stated in this system of records notice.

                     Need and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as an extension in order to obtain the full three year clearance from them. There is no change in the recordkeeping and/or reporting requirements. The Commission has reduced the total                           ( print page 6394)                        annual burden by 29 hours and the cost burden by $12,000.                

This information collection requires that nationwide narrowband Personal Communications Services (PCS) licensees must, under 47 CFR 24.103, notify the Commission by filing FCC Form 601, no later than 15 days after the end of the five year period following the initial grant of their license, indicating that they plan to satisfy the alternative requirements to provide “substantial service”. Also, under section 24.103(f), upon meeting the five and 10 year benchmarks in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this subsection, licensees shall notify the Commission by filing FCC Form 601 and including a map and other supporting documentation that demonstrate the required geographic area coverage, population coverage, or substantial service to the license area within 15 days of the expiration of the relevant period has been met.

The reporting and recordkeeping requirements for this information collection are used to ensure that licensees timely construct systems that are sound, favorable, and substantially provide a level of service above mediocre service, and that those systems serve a significant area of the U.S. population. 

Federal Communications Commission.
