continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number. No person shall be subject to any
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject
to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid
control number. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before July 13, 2007. If you anticipate that you will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060-0865.
Title: Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Universal Licensing
System (ULS) Recordkeeping and Third Party Disclosure Requirements.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal
government.
Number of Respondents: 70,447 respondents; 70,447 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: .25--4 hours (average).
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement,
recordkeeping requirement, and third party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 63,446 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is a need for
confidentiality with respect to all Private Land Mobile Radio service
filers in this collection. 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. of the Privacy Act. Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) and
material which is afforded confidential treatment pursuant to a request
made under 47 CFR 0.459 will not be available for public inspection.
Any personally identifiable information (PII) that individual
applicants provide is covered by a system of records reference above
and these and all other records may be disclosed pursuant to the
Routine Uses as stated in the system of records notice dated April 5,
2006 (71 FR 17234, 17269).
Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information
collection to OMB as an extension (no change in reporting requirements,
recordkeeping requirements and/or third party disclosure requirements)
during this comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from
them. The Commission reduced the total annual burden due to an
adjustment in the number of responses by licensees who operate within
the various service categories of this information collection gathered
from the Commission's ULS and CORES databases.
The purpose of this collection is to streamline the set of rules
which minimize filing requirements via the Universal Licensing System
(ULS); to eliminate redundant and unnecessary submission requirements;
and to assure ongoing collection of reliable licensing and ownership
data. The recordkeeping and third party disclosure requirements, along
with certifications which made via ULS are ways the Commission reduced
the filing burden on the industry. However, applicants must maintain
records to document compliance with the requirements for which they
provide certifications. In some instances, third party coordinations
are required.
OMB Control Number: 3060-1007.
Title: Streamlining and Other Revisions of Part 25 of the
Commission's Rules.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 28 respondents; 28 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 2.89 hours (average).
Frequency of Response: On occasion, annual and other reporting
requirements and third party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 9,688 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $95,194,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is a need for
confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information
collection to OMB as an extension (no change in reporting requirements,
recordkeeping requirements and/or third party disclosure requirements)
during this comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from
them. There is no change in the number of respondents, total annual
burden hours or annual costs.
On April 16, 2004, the Commission released a Fourth Report and
Order, IB Docket Numbers 02-34 and 00-248, FCC 04-92. In this Order,
the Commission extended the mandatory

electronic filing to all space station and earth station applications,
related pleadings, and other filings governed by Part 25. Direct
Broadcast Satellite (DBS) and Digital Audio Radio Service (DARS)
licensees can now use a streamlined procedure when relocating
satellites for fleet management purposes. Currently, this procedure is
only limited to Geostationary Satellite Orbit (GSO) licensees. The
Commission referred to such relocations as ``fleet management'' license
modifications. This change will enable the Commission to act on DBS
fleet management modifications faster. Under this streamlined
procedure, the DBS and DARS licensees may modify its license without
prior authorization, but upon 30 days prior notice to the Commission
and any potentially affected licensed spectrum user. In order to
utilize the streamlined procedure, the operator is required to meet
certain technical requirements contained in Part 25.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
