FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collections Submitted to OMB for
Review and Approval
March 18, 1996.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications, 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 proposed
and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act 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 Commissions
burden estimates; (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 comments should be submitted on or before April 24,
1996. If you anticipate that you will be submitting 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 comments to Dorothy Conway, Federal
Communications, Room 234, 1919 M St., N.W., Washington, DC 20554 or via

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Approval No.: 3060-0444.
Title: 220 and 800 MHZ Construction Letter.
Form No.: 800A.
Type of Review: Revision of currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other-for-profit; individuals or
households.
Number of Respondents: 11,500.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
Total Annual Burden: 11,500 hours.
Total Annualized Cost per respondent: There are no start up or
operational and maintenance costs associated with this collection.
Needs and Uses: The commission requests this collection of
information as a method for licensees to provide information to verify
a station has been placed into operation and to notify the Commission
of the actual number of mobile units placed in operation after license
grant. From this data, the Commission is able to determine full
capacity channel loading, making frequencies available for assignment
and modifying or cancelling licenses. The data collected ensures
licensees are not authorized for more mobiles than they are actually
using. The data collected is required by the Communications Act and FCC
Rules 90.155, 90.313, 90.495, 90.496, 90.631, 90.633, 90.651, 90.725
and 90.737. The entities identified in the current 800A letter, such as
trunked, convention, etc., have been re-named as CMRS and PMRS. The
current 800A letter requests a breakdown in the types of mobiles and
control stations, while the proposed 800A letter asks for a total
number of mobiles and the number of parties affiliated with, controlled
by, or related to the provider. The number of responses and estimated
burden remains unchanged.
Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
