FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Public Information Collection Approved by Office of Management 
and Budget

June 17, 1998.
    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
Pub. L. 96-511. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid control number. Not 
withstanding any other provisions of law, 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. Questions concerning the OMB control numbers and 
expiration dates should be directed to Judy Boley, Federal 
Communications Commission, [phone].

Federal Communications Commission.

OMB Control No.: 3060-0813.
    Expiration Date: 6/30/2001.
    Title: Revision of the Commission's Rules to Ensure Compatibility 
with Enhanced 911 Emergency Calling Systems.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 194,457 annual hours; 15 minutes - 12 
hours per response; 125,996 responses. This collection contains various 
reporting and third party requirements that range in estimated 
completion time.
    Description: The Commission is placing several burdens on the 
wireless E911 industry and on government entities and phone systems. 
Most of these are one time rather than ongoing requirements, and are 
minimal to ensure the rapid implementation of the technologies needed 
to bring emergency help to wireless callers throughout the United 
States. In establishing these requirements, the Commission balanced 
consumers' need for dependable, speedy access to 911 services with 
carriers' need for flexibility in providing emergency services. The 
actions were taken in response to concerns raised by the initial Report 
and Order.

OMB Control No.: 3060-0690.
    Expiration Date: 6/30/2001.
    Title: Rules Regarding 37.0-38.6 GHz and 38.6-40.0 GHz Bands.
    Form No.: FCC 402 and FCC 494.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 210,318 annual hours; 30 minutes to 20 
hours per respondent; 13,905 responses. The Commission estimates that 
approximately 25% of the respondents will hire consultants to prepare 
this information.
    Description: The information is used by the Commission staff to 
provide adequate point-to-point microwave spectrum, which will 
facilitate provision of communications infrastructure for commercial 
and private mobile radio opeations and competitive wireless local 
telephone service. Without this information, the Commission would not 
be able to carry out its statutory responsibilities.

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