FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

 

Public Information Collection Requirement Submitted to Office of 
Management and Budget for Review

January 5, 1994.
    The Federal Communications Commission has submitted the following 
information collection requirement to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507).
    Copies of this submission may be purchased from the Commission's 
copy contractor, International Transcription Service, Inc., 2100 M 
Street, NW., suite 140, Washington, DC 20037, [phone]. For 
further information on this submission contact Judy Boley, Federal 
Communications Commission, [phone]. Persons wishing to comment 
on this information collection should contact Timothy Fain, Office of 
Management and Budget, room 3235 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 395-
3561.

    Please note: The Commission has requested expedited OMB review 
of this item by January 7, 1994, under the provisions of 5 CFR 
1320.18.

    OMB Number: None.
    Title: Implementation of sections 3(n) and 332 of the 
Communications Act, GN Docket No. 93-252, First Report and Order.
    Action: New collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, state or local governments, 
federal agencies or employees, non-profit institutions and businesses 
or other for-profit (including small businesses).
    Frequency of Response: One time filing requirement due by February 
10, 1994.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 50 responses; 2 hours average burden per 
response; 100 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, 
Public Law 103-66, title VI, section 6002(b), 107 Stat. 312, 395 
(1993), amended sections 3(n) and 332 of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 153(n) and 332, to create a comprehensive 
regulatory framework for all mobile radio services. Under the amended 
statute, certain private land mobile radio licensees will be 
reclassified as ``commercial mobile radio service'' licensees and will 
be treated as common carriers subject to the foreign ownership and 
control restrictions of section 310(b) of the Communications Act. A 
``grandfathering'' provision, however, in new section 332(c)(6) permits 
the Commission to grant waivers of section 310(b) to private land 
mobile licensees that petition the Commission by February 10, 1994. 
This present action clarifies the filing procedures for such petitions 
and reminds all potentially affected private radio licensees of the 
February 10, 1994 filing deadline. The Commission will use the waiver 
petitions to determine whether each given petitioner should be 
permitted to retain foreign ownership or control, pursuant to statute.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
