FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for
Review to the Office of Management and Budget
April 14, 2006.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its
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 May 24, 2006. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the contact
listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments to Judith
B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C804, 445 12th
Street, SW., DC 20554 or an e-mail to PRA@fcc.gov. If you would like to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-0718.
Title: Part 101, Governing the Terrestrial Microwave Fixed Radio
Service.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit., not-for-profit
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 10,000 respondents; 6,364 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .25-3 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion and every 10 year reporting
requirements, recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure
requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 36,585 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $474,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this information
collection to OMB as a revision in order to obtain the full three-year
clearance from them. Part 101 requires various information to be filed
and maintained by the respondent to determine the technical, legal and
other qualifications of applications to operate a station in the public
and private operational fixed services. The information is also used to
determine whether the public interest, convenience, and necessity are
being served as required by 47 U.S.C. 309. The Commission staff also
uses this information to ensure that applicants and licensee comply
with ownership and transfer restrictions imposed by 47 U.S.C. 310. The
Appendix attached to the OMB submission lists the rules in Part 101
that impose reporting, recordkeeping and third party disclosure
requirements. The Commission revised this information collection to
remove Part 101 rule sections that have no PRA implications. The total
annual burden hours and costs have been modified accordingly.
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
